Biggest issues:

Top Gun is too low.
GhostBusters is too low.
Aliens isn't even there, or RoboCop or Terminator. And where the fuck is Arnie?
Very surprised there's no Flight of the Navigator or Police Acadamy.

There was also no Blues Brothers, but maybe they weren't doing musicals.

Films from that list I haven't seen and am therefore not qualified to comment upon:

Tootsie, St. Elmo's Fire, Fame, Blue Velvet and Wall Street

Also no Empire Strikes Back. I thought maybe there were no sequels but Temple of Doom was on there, so...

The fact that Dirty Dancing is number 2 says volumes about the list.

I suppose this is the best EIGHTIES movie, and not just movies released in the 80's. Because it seems like only americans made movies in that decade judging by this list.

Considering this, where is Bloodsport??

I would put Goonies 1st, The Lost Boys 2nd and the San Junipero episode of Black Mirror in third.

Also, Temple over Raiders?

I've not seen Top Gun for years, but I feel like it should have aged well. It's so 80s it's almost timeless. If that makes sense. Not sure it does.

Where's Chinny on that list?

I'm not sure I can name many non-US movies from the eighties, beside Crocodile Dundee (which is on there).

CROCODILE DUNDEE FUN FACT: If you put $5,000 into that movie, you got $1,000,000 back.

They asked people who like Dirty Dancing. My sister likes Dirty Dancing and she shares Minion Quotes on Facebook. You see?

If you were a teenager in the eighties I'd imagine your 9.5 Weeks video was basically worn out ;)

Hang on, doesn't Indy say he doesn't believe in magic in Raiders? That seems unlikely given all the shit that went down in Temple.

There's no Princess Bride in this list, so it's clearly a load of nonsense.

It looks like you're too close there. You should switch to guns.

Although I've never seen Top Gun, I actually own three copies of. Mind you, two of them are CD-I Video CDs (ah, those days of switching discs halfway through) and the other is HD-DVD, because I'm at the cutting edge.

I think we're missing the quintessential action movie here: Commando. Thus, thence and therefore, this list is bull.

I've seen all of those but then I was a teenager at the start of '82.
The list, like a lot of the shit Channel 5 pump out is rubbish. It's about as credible as the pile of onanism that was Slash presenting a list of top guitar solos on the same channel a few years ago, where I kid you not, he was IIRC the top 2 in the list. There are about 20 films on that list I wouldn't put in a top 100.

As has been pointed out, there are many classics that weren't included.
