    Inside Moves - almost never shown on TV but a great film
    The Shining
    Once Upon a Time in America
    The Princess Bride
    Brazil
    Ferris Bueller's Day Off - probably THE film that reminds me of the 80's

    As you can probably tell I love the 80's horror movies. I own all of the above on DVD now.

    Favourite TV series that started in the 80's is Red Dwarf. I have all the episodes purchased on VHS as well as the ones with the new special effects and over the past few years purchased them all on DVD.
