1. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Ba... (1980)

The best of the saga, I was blown away with every single scene, as a kid.

2. Caddyshack (1980)

A goofy and glorious look into the world of country clubs. Every other line is qualified to be a classic.

3. The Shining (1980)

In insanely good horror film (a genre I'm not usually a fan of) that begs you to read between the lines every scene (thanks to Kubrik's genius)

4. Raging Bull (1980)

Scorsese, De Niro and Pesci, a combo that's unstoppable.

My grandmother can jive talk, too.

6. Ordinary People (1980)

A slow burner helmed by Redford (directing debut), where every scene becomes intense for various reasons.

7. Stir Crazy (1980)

Rodeos, prison, and chicken suits. Wilder and Pryor were the best comedy duo in the 70s/80s
