Empire's 80 Best 80s Movies

They gave us the gutsy action hero, the maverick cop, the brassy heroine and the comedy sidekick. They left behind some of the greatest movies the world has ever seen. They were, in short, the 80s; a time when the hair was big, the stunts bigger and the bad guys were usually Russian.
This list is from Empire Magazine and begins at number 80, counting down to the number one 1980s movie.
