Best Sci Fi movie of the 80s

OK, I liked the idea, but I think the 80's is a much harder decade to call.

1982 alone gave us:

The Empire Strikes Back
Blade Runner
The Wrath of Khan
Tron

What do you think?

empire strikes back is my favorite star wars movie (wellll, other than the original, but that's more sentimental than anything) but for some reason i don't really consider "empire" an 80s movie...even though it is.

so i'd say "blade runner", because the look of that movie was so future-forward while at the same time paying tribute to film noir of yesteryear. the balance between past and future styles was struck brilliantly, i thought.

I agree with Empire because it was the best movie in the series, and the last one that was watchable.

Terminator might be better, though; I can't decide.

And then there's War Games, a sentimental favorite that isn't the best of the decade but definitely deserves mention.

I guess the obvious choice is Empire...but I've got a genuine love for Enemy Mine...

My bad. Empire was 1980.

Star Trek 4 and 5

You know what they say about arguing on the internet… It’s a lot like running a race in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you’re still retarded.
