7. Teen Wolf (1985)

8. Short Circuit (1986)

9. E.T. (1982)

10. Labyrinth (1986)




Shortlisted of highly watched -

Blues Brothers (1980)
Moonwalker (1988)

The first list with Ferris Buellers Day off and Short circuit replaced with Raiders of the Lost Ark and Airplane.  Labyrinth is fantastic apart from the bit with David Bowie in those far too tight trousers  :?
