Please recommend me more 1980s movies like these

[GSHARQ]

Awhile back, Best Buy released a number of 80s movies on blu ray. They even had a special display rack for them in their stores and I believe they were all made by Universal Studios. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like they have this rack in their stores any more so I need recommendations.

Last night I watched The Burbs and tonight I watched The Dream Team - both great movies. Now I'm looking to add more movies like these to my collection, preferably on blu ray, but I'd consider DVD if they aren't available on blu ray.

I own these ones on blu ray:

Back to the Future (trilogy)
Big
Big Business
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
Coming to America
Flight of the Navigator
Goonies
Harry and the Hendersons
Karate Kid 1 and 2
Labyrinth
Little Shop of Horrors
Rocky (the entire series)
See No Evil, Hear No Evil
Teen Wolf
The Breakfast Club
The Great Outdoors
They Live
Trading Places
Uncle Buck

I own these ones on DVD:

Body Slam
House Party (collection)
Karate Kid 3
No Holds Barred
Teen Wolf Too
The Wizard

As you can see by this list, I'm not really looking for action or horror movies, so no Rambo or Nightmare on Elm Street, and I'm not into romance movies either. Just more movies like the ones I already have. It helps if they have humor in them, but they don't necessarily need to be comedies.

Please recommend me some others that would be good for my collection.

GSHARQ, Ferris Bueller is very highly recommended for you. Would be amazed if you did not love it. Much beloved classic 80's movie, buy without hesitation.

[sandman slim]

I'll add one, sadly DVD only: All of Me. One of the funniest movies of the decade, seems to have fallen thru the pop culture cracks; hardly ever gets mentioned, never on cable, etc. Great movie, wish Twilight Time or some other boutique label would get it.

I know you said no horror but if you like The 'Burbs a lot you really should see other Dante movies like Gremlins and Gremlins 2. They're wonderful.

If you liked Uncle Buck and Great Outdoors I recommend Summer Rental, my other John Candy fave. Cheesy as all get out but very good 80s nostalgia fun. Wish it was on BD, might give in and get the DVD soon (I sold most of my DVDs to move overseas a handful of years ago).

Ghostbusters seems like a glaring omission there but I'm sure you've seen that one.

[varmintx]

The only pattern I see is a lack of dramatic films, so I guess I won't be recommending The Right Stuff, Raging Bull, etc. but some lighter fair from the decade include:

• Caddyshack
• Airplane!
• Ferris Bueller's Day Off
• Raising Arizona
• The Princess Bride
• Who Framed Roger Rabbit
• Beetlejuice
• A Fish Called Wanda
• When Harry Met Sally...
• Major League

[The Great Owl]

Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Vision Quest
