What Movie screams "1980s"

What movie do you think best personified the 80s' decade?

For me it would have to be "The Breakfast Club"
That movie was a classic!

Well, I was born in the 80s, so I'm gonna list movies that personify the 80s to ME, though they may not be the ones that adults of the 80s really think of. For me it was
The Goonies
Ferris Buehler's Day Off
The Rainbow Brite Movie
and
Heathers (I have older sisters so I saw lots of age-inappropriate movies for a 5-8 year-old.)
Ooh! And Return to Oz and The Worst Witch (Fairuza Balk holds a very nostalgic place in my heart, as does Diana Rigg lol)

Mwah!
