(1) Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986)

Few movies capture 1980s teenage freedom better than Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. The Ferrari, the parade, school rebellion, suburban Chicago, quotable dialogue, and Ferris’ effortless confidence helped make the movie one of the decade’s most enduring comedies. Its staying power is enormous, and many of its scenes remain instantly recognizable.
(16) Twins (1988)
Twins pairs Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito in one of the decade’s most memorable odd-couple comedies. Its high-concept premise, late-’80s style, star power, and fish-out-of-water humor earned it a place in the field. It may not have the cultural reach of the top seeds, but the pairing itself is still instantly recognizable.

Effing Aggies.
I don’t think so.  Not sure how to check how I voted but Bueller was my pick, but maybe i misclicked if you see something different.

Some of the best action movies ever made. 

Terminator, Predator, Commando, are all iconic. Hell, I even love Twins.

Btw, I heard Schwarzenegger say that instead of a straight salary he instead opted for a % of the gross and ended up making far more than a lot of his other films. Twins was a big hit back in the day, but the studio didn’t expect much.

I didn't vote for Twins because it's up against a giant, but I think it's more 80s than a lot of other movies above a 16 seed.

I voted for Twins just to annoy utee94.  

He said he'd snuff me out in my sleep.  Sometimes curiosity gets the best of you and you hafta kick the ogre on the shin just to see what happens.

Was just kidding around.  I suspected it was the dastardly MDT.

1. Terminator
2. Predator
3. Conan the Barbarian
4. Commando
5. Conan the Destroyer
6. The Running Man
7. Red Heat
8. Raw Deal
9. Red Sonja
10. Twins

Wasn't me.  There was already a vote for it when I logged on this morning. 

I only voted once I read the comments and knew my vote wouldn't sway the results.  I've actually never seen Ferris Bueller, so in a contest that matters, I'd probably abstain from voting.  As it was, I voted just to incur your wrath  :)
