You can't call Apocalypse Now an 80s movie. It's your archetypical 70s movie, where an auteur director is given complete creative control by the studio and ends up going massively over-budget. This kind of film was comprehensively killed off by Michael Cimino's disastrous Heaven's Gate in 1980, and the 80s became a decade of tightly controlled, highly profitable studio films in the Jaws template.

It's basically the cycle continuing from 1929-1933's lavish spending spree and then 1934-1937's controlled shit fest.

And damn this list is hard to make.

Personally, my top 10 80s films (in no particular order):

Ferris Bueller
Die Hard
Blues Brothers
Airplane
Spaceballs
Blade Runner
The Empire Strikes Back
Who framed Roger Rabbit?
Raiders Of The Lost Arc
The Princess Bride

Fuck it I'm going to watch Die Hard now, in all of its 3 am awesomeness.

It's good but I didn't think it was nearly as good as The Holy Grail or Life of Brian.
