Recommend me some 80's sci-fi!

[Redlambs]

Right 'tards, I need to films to get on DVD (hopefully) or at least Vhs if they sell them anymore

I need 80's sci-fi, both serious and humorous (either intentionally or otherwise) including sci-fi horror. Classics and gems are very much appreciated too.



Shoot.

What's that then?

The Last Starfighter
And while not 80s, everyone who watches sci-fi should see Barbarella in my opinion.

Good stuff, I need plenty of references for a project, so anything you can throw at me (good and bad) will help, but mainly 80's stuff is what I need.

Brazil - Sci-fi, Dystopia, Funny, Thrilling, Fantasy - you can't really put a genre on it, but its one of my all time favourites. Terry Gilliam at his best and Robert DeNiro in probably the strangest role of his career. Certified Cult Classic !!!!!

Man I forgot about half of these. Some great ones and Spaces Balls was great. They live with Rowdy Roddy Piper. Classic 80's.

"V" the best scifi to come out of the 80s if you ask me. More of a mini series but you can get it on dvd.

Not quite the 80s (1991 in fact) or sci-fi but I am sure you will agree, a classic.
