I think Prince should have been higher....14th?

I am either missing the sarcasm or am completely receptive of the stupidity.

Prince, a musician, makes a movie that is considered the 14th best movie of the entire decade, and that isn't good enough?

american. pop.

I'm surprised Purple Rain is so high to be honest. And the fact that Blue Velvet isn't in the list (and not in the top 5) tells though that the list is a joke.

Personally, I prefer Fargo.

A lot of the films are great, the list is lame though. The Goonies? That high up? Really? GTFOH with that shit. Same goes for The Outsiders and most of the Teen Flicks. The only teen flick that deserves to be ont the list is Ferris Buellers Day Off. That one is top ten foprp sure.

Garbage list even for that kiddie fashion rag. But what do you expect from a publication that glorifies the Boston Marathon bomber? Unbelievable.

I love Fargo also, but it was made in 1996...

I just expected it to be higher compared to The Goonies....

I had also hoped that "The Pope of Greenwich Village" would had made the list...

Very true....

It's a readers poll, not a critics poll. That's why John Hughes films make up damn near half the list and Raging Bull is nowhere to be seen lol...

Well, that makes a little more sense...barely.

O.K. list. Couple of complaints...

1. Where is The Terminator?

2. Purple Rain isn't even in the top 25 greatest movies of 1984, nevermind the entire decade!

3. Like someone else pointed out, too many John Hughes fims on the list. I mean, like every film he made in the 80's is on the list.

I was, however, thrilled to see Amadeus on the list, but it should have been number 1. That movie is awesome. Plain and simple.

I take extreme exception to at least half of these movies being labeled "great" - including Purple Rain.

It is basically a list of top 25 American teen and popcorn action movies of the 80s though, not greatest movies of a decade. Not that I don't like a lot of 'em, just sayin' - it's Rolling Stone and probably written by a 24 year old.

This list sucks ass.

Well, I think PR was great for the time. It was a totally unexpected project from Prince. Alot of people still didn't know him in 84, so for this movie to hit pop culture was very significant.
