It's got to be Aliens, Terminator or Predator for me. I can't pick one out from those 3 as like them all equally.

I was only a sproglet in the 80's so I didn't see many of these films until the 90's once I was old enough. As a kid my favourites were....

Willow

The Dark Crystal

Labyrinth

Never-ending Story

Flight of the Navigator

The first Police Academy was funny. It had more jokes than the next 6 combined. Give it another try next time it's on.

As life of Brian was 1979, I'll actually opt for The Naked Gun
