Purple Rain to me.
Too much hair spray, glitter, lace, chest hair, and it seems like one never-ending music video.

I never saw E.T. I was 20 when it came out. It was a movie for kids and when you are 20...you don't wanna see movies for kids. ;D
I have tried to see E.T. since then but it never caught my interest. Having said that, I do understand the impact of E.T. and it is a good choice, Bill.
I don't have 1 choice because I can't limit myself to just one. I can suggest several:
Raiders of the lost ark, Back to the Future, War games, Fast times at Ridgemont high, The Breakfast club, even Ferris Buehler. When I saw those films at the theater it appealed to my age group more.

Back to the Future immediately came to mind for me.

I would say the same thing too.

My vote will go to the Ewok movie "Caravan of Courage" (1984) which my Mum would rent from the video store every time I was sick. Although I did see E.T. at the movies I was perhaps a little too young to appreciate it as a 6 yr old.

Okay. There's a difference between the ultimate 80s flick and the most definitive 80s flick....
Most definitive to me? It's a toss up between Beeakfast Club and Tootsie.
Breakfast Club because it's about teens trying to break free and find their voice. They are not adults yet but they want to be so fiercely independent and yet accepted. It's a classic.
By the same token Toirsie explores the treatment of women in the real world and at work....thru the eyes of a man. The film is brilliant and should be talked about more often than it is.

For me the choice is easy.
Fast Times At Ridgemont High!
I was actually more like 12 years old when I saw it and a couple years away from high school, but I just knew when I got to high school, it was gonna be just like that movie, and in some ways...it was!! LOL

In the early 80s, home video and computer games were all the rage, and I was a big fan (what kid wasn't), so for me, the movie that sums up the 80s was Disney's TRON

FBDO, because, of all the 1980s teen movies, it is the one I've seen the most times and the one I find myself quoting the most. ;)

That film had an 80's feel to it.

Back to the Future is a good choice, but I'm gonna pick a different time travel movie: The Terminator.
