Another Bad List

Mental Floss does a very poor job in listing The 20 Best Movies of the 1980's. Missing from their list are the following movies (in no particular order):

- Aliens
- Das Boot
- The Empire Strikes Back
- Full Metal Jacket
- Scarface
- Die Hard
- Stand By Me
- Dead Poets Society
- Blade Runner

And of course The Princess Bride (I give special attention to The Princess Bride because its probably the movie I've watched the most from the 80's).

So what movies deserve to be removed from Mental Floss's list? That could be a good debate but it has to start with Ordinary People. That is one of the most overrated movies of all-time! Do you know a single person who has made the mistake of watching that flick a second time?

Just missing my list are Batman (Jack Nicholson as the Joker), Wall Street, Hoosiers, and The Terminator. I wouldn't argue much if you had any of those movies on your list.
