	For me Top Gun's song is more Take My Breath Away from Berlin.

	Michael Dudikoff FTW! Now all I want to do is leave work, go home and watch childhood movies!

	I think you should also accept Rocky IV for Eye of the Tiger since it was part of that movie as well. I must break you! haha

	Meltha:	Dec 8th, 2010 at 19:51 GMT		2 points
	It'd be nice if you accepted Friday the Thirteenth as well as 13th.

	How could you leave Seagal off the action list? Sure, he only made one movie, in 1988, but still...

	The lack of an all-John Hughes category undermines the validity of an '80s movie quiz.

	1980 - Ordinary People? Crime of the century. Raging Bull should have taken Best Picture. Far and away. Heck, even The Shining or Nightmare on Elm Street are more enduring than the Timothy Hutton drivel-piece. DeNiro as Jake LaMotta. One for the ages.

	Damn, I remembered Critters, but got it confused with Creepies, and missed it.

	I thought it was "Flying High" but the answer was "Airplane!" D'oh! :D

	joshmassey:	Dec 8th, 2010 at 23:08 GMT		-2 points
	Easily my favorite Sporcle quiz yet, right up my alley. But my smile turned to tears when I realized I missed a "First Blood" question. DAMN MY FEEBLE BRAIN! (And how could I not at least GUESS "Labyrinth?")

	Chuck Norris will kill 69.9% of the quiz takers.

	Witness is a strange choice to list for Harrison Ford under the category of "Action Star."

	ncr1119:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 00:50 GMT		0 points
	Star Wars Episode V should be accepted.

	omnipotent1:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 01:47 GMT		1 point
	My formative years were during the 80s and no other decade will ever bring as many feelings of nostalgia as the 80s.

	captjojo:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 01:57 GMT		-4 points
	Tom Cruise questionable as action star and where the heck is Say Anything in the songs category?

	NY_MOB:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 02:37 GMT		-2 points
	Well now I'll remember how to spell Van Damme. Somehow got Schwarzenegger though, which REALLY surprised me - hahaha.

	BrennanBooth:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 03:12 GMT		-4 points
	I just watched Labyrinth yet that was one I missed. Also, Witness makes no sense for Harrison Ford. Definitely not an "action" movie.

	Definitely would've chosen Who Wants to live fovever or Its a kind of Magic as the Highlander Queen song. new york new york just made me think of Gremlins 2...

	SuzyCreamcheeze:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 15:32 GMT		-2 points
	Surely which Queen song isn't relevant, they did the whole soundtrack for Highlander, so that's how I guessed it. Yup the 80s sucked a bit movie wise, that's because cinema was being killed by video, in the same way it killed the radio star... but it was still my decade, and it seems I spent a lot of time in the cinema then!

	nice quiz, but some random choices floating around. American Ninja, Avenging Force, for example in the action stars, instead of Die Hard and Bruce Willis (more memorable and quintessentially 80s)

	houseofjason:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 16:09 GMT		10 points
	I missed Chuck Norris...I deserve a roundhouse kick to the face.

	djfoams:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 18:24 GMT		-1 points
	How come it would not take Ferris Beuller's Day Off. I typed it with caps, without, with apostrophe, without. I tried all possible spellings of Beuller?!? And all possible combinations of the above.

	mattv1:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 02:13 GMT		-3 points
	I was going to guess Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 for the "Wax on...wax off" quote, but then I figured it probably came out in 90 or 91.

	I'm sorry, but what the heck does "Top 10 '1980s' Titles by Rating (IMDB)" mean? I was left with guessing the movie by director, which works I suppose, but for me the category heading was meaningless. Sorry I'm so thick!

	tron527:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 20:57 GMT		0 points
	How can you have an 80's movie quiz without Dune?

	simpsoncrazy:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 21:17 GMT		1 point
	I knew Shwarzenegger, or whatever, but, as you can see, it wouldnt take it because I cant spell it right!

	skinnyboy77:	Dec 11th, 2010 at 03:47 GMT		-1 points
	Gopher: it means, "of all 80's movies, which ones are the top 10 rated on the Internet Movie Database? (imdb.com)"
