THEY ARE the highest-grossing films of the 1980s... but are they the best?<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t be a surprise for Sorted readers to learn two of the Star Wars trilogy dominated the 70s and 80s. But also in the mix was the brilliant Steven Spielberg, who produced an absolute classic in ET \u2013 the story of an alien who really had to find his way home.<\/p>\n

The 80s was a superb decade for great movies and I was surprised to find a personal favourite \u2013 Big Trouble In Little China, starring Kurt Russell \u2013 getting nowhere close to the top of the pile.<\/p>\n
