Default What film defined the 80's?

I grew up in the 80's and most of the films I love came out of that decade, so I was wondering what one do you feel defined this decade? I know some of you might have different one then in the poll, but if you had to choose just choose one. Thanks

Something John Hughes -- first movie that popped into my head was 'The Breakfast Club' so I guess I'd have to go with that one.

Top Gun or Breakfast Club would be my picks. But to truly define the 80's as a society, I'd have to go with Wall Street.

Breakfast Club. No doubt this movie had everything the 80'S stood for in one small library.
