Back To The Future has been crowned the nation’s favourite 80s movie
Film lovers across the UK voted in the poll this October, with Sci-Fi films dominating the Top 10.
Back To The Future has been voted the UK's favourite 80s movie in a new poll conducted by Official Charts and FindAnyFilm.com.
To celebrate Must See Movies 80s, part of the National Album Day celebrations this month, users voted all through October for their top three choices of the biggest 80s films - with the Sci-Fi classic coming out on top.
Released in 1985 and starring Michael J. Fox & Christopher Lloyd – Back To The Future sees Marty McFly, a teenager, accidentally sent back in time to 1955 in a time-traveling DeLorean built by his eccentric scientist friend “Doc” Brown. With its iconic soundtrack and 1980s fashion, the film has stood the test of time as a must-see for any film fan.

Apart from Blade Runner which i find to be a weird and awful movie, spot on the remaining 9 movies!! ALIENS being my favourite movie of all time, i am glad to see it at number 4!! GHOSTBUSTERS should be at number 3 instead of Blade runner!!
