Many would say that this is the best picture of all time. I personally wouldn't go that far but it is one great classical film. I must say that it has stand the test of time, both artistically and in entertainment value. Citizen Kane probably works better today than it did in 1941.

#42. The Breakfast Club (1985)
IMDb-link
Another classic I saw in the summer, but not as good as Stand by Me. The solid and "down to earth" script works well with its great actors (some better than others). I'd prefer Hughes film rather than most of today's movies in the same genre.

I saw this cult classic earlier this summer for the mood was in the right place. Memorable and beautiful in its own simplicity.

#40. The Quiet Earth (1985)
IMDb-link
Good film. Not as great as I wanted it to be. I hoped for more depth and well thought-out story, but it is beautifully made and has a nice slow pace.

#39. The Fly (1986)
IMDb-link
Finally it was time for a sci-fi/horror gore-fest film. Great score by Howard Shore, great actors (Goldblum, Geena Davis), nice script with memorable and classic quotes and above all, awesome special effects. It's a small movie with a nice atmosphere, the only negative is the 80s clothing and hair-styles...

#38. Caravaggio (1986)
IMDb-link
Caravaggio is full of symbolism, intentional anachronism, poetic but also really slow and gets you pretty bored on occasion. Therefore, pretty unbalanced, but I bet if you're a fan of Caravaggios paitings you'll probably love this. Good lightning and props though.

#37. Good Morning, Vietnam (1987)
IMDb-link
Gooooooooood morning Vietnam! I'm a huge fan of Robin Williams, and I must say this classic is one of the best. His comedy-style for this particular character fits like a glove. Oh, and the soundtrack is pretty neat.

#36. Au revoir les enfants (1987)
IMDb-link
It starts slow but gets more interesting in the second act and ends great in the third. Interesting french point of view on the WWII, from the perspective of school children, priests, parents etc. Also, it's based on true events from the director himself.

#35. Night of the Living Dead (1968)
IMDb-link
Just watched this cult classic at a friends house, that's why I'm going to have to jump a little bit back on the list.It had everything that I expected from a cult classic of its kind, bad acting (of course) but also classic memorable lines and really nice photography for its time. I even felt a psychadelic vibe to it with the music and the photo (and yeah, that's a positive thing). Timeless.

#34. 'A' gai wak juk jap (1987)
IMDb-link
This is the sequel to 'A' gai wak. It's fun and it has as usual impressive stunts from Jackie Chan. Although, it has some flaws in bad writing and also in comedy when it gets too silly.
