Awesome 1980's Sci-Fi Movies

[Robbie_Rocket_Pants]

I thought it would be cool to start a generic sci-fi movie thread based on the decade in which I was born as there was some mint sci-fi made in that decade en masse (possible more than any other). I would love it for other people to add other cool sci-fi movies from the 80's which they found entertaining.

Here are my first offerings:

- Back To The Future - Trilogy
- Short Circuit 1 & 2
- Flight Of The Navigator
- Cocoon 1 & 2
- Batteries Not Included
- Battle Beyond The Stars

Please add as necessary (accumulatively like in Rac80's Rabid thread)

Rac, you are actually a mind reader! I was thinking about episodes 5 & 6 & ST 2, 3 & 4 (although not 5 because it sucks dick). Great minds think alike.

Yes my dear they do. yeah that horrible st5 gag! I was surprised you missed the classics. I remember standing in line for hours to see the empire strikes back and the return of the jedi.

a wee bit anal retentive eh?
no problem...I thought I put them at the end.

Robbie, the reason the final frontier is not mentioned is not because it is not a awesome scifi movie, it's because every bastard who saw it was forced to mainline brainbleach just to survive. Even now it's corrosive effects still occasionally manifest........
