We had the pre-poll to get your guys' input, so here's the real deal. My top 3:

1. Big Trouble in Little China
2. Aliens
3. Top Gun

Platoon earns my vote, though there are plenty of other good choices on that list as well.

I didn't realize 1986 had so many great movies. I chose "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", but if I were offered more choices it would have been:

1) Ferris Bueller's Day Off
2) Aliens
3) Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
4) Top Gun
5) Big Trouble in Little China

 

[Starbreaker]

Aliums.

I voted for Aliens. 1986 seems like an incredible movie year. I have bought more than half the movies on this list.

 

[Holdfast]

My top 3, with Top Gun getting my vote.

Top Gun
Ferris Bueller
Aliens

1986 movies totally rocked.

 

[Thrall]

Top Gun, for it's awesomely Tom Cruise gayness.

 

[TheBrew]

Aliens. Such a well put together film. Though there are a lot of great films on that list.

 

[Neroon]

An awfully tough choice, but I went with the lesser known film: "The Mission". DeNio and Irons were superb, and it was a more than compelling story

 

[Mr Light]

ALIENS by a light year! Not much else there I feel strongly about. I'm ambivalent about ST4.

 

[Trubinator]

Go Aliens!!!

 

[Kirkman1987]

Blue Velvet, but most of the films on that list have considerable merit.
1986 was a keeper year.

 

[Vanyel]

Hard to choose between:
Aliens
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Jean de Florette
Manon of the Spring
Platoon
Stand By Me

Hard choice, but I had to go with Aliens.

 

[Balrog]

Save Ferris!

 

[Zachary Smith]

As much as I love "Big Trouble in Little China", "Aliens" is just about a PERFECT film. MAN, there were a lot of good movies that year. I hadn't realized that . . .

 

[miraclefan]

ALIENS

 

[ladyheather69]

Wow! Great list!

I think all the movies on that list are good in their own way, regardless of if it was a cinematic masterpiece or not

I vote for Aliens as the overall however.

Xenomorphs Rule!

 

[Holdfast]

MAN, there were a lot of good movies that year. I hadn't realized that . . .

It's kind of weird; has there been such a fun year for movies since?

 

[Aurian]

Awesome movie year. making it impossible for me to choose.. So my favorites are:

Aliens
Big trouble in little china
top gun
Stand by me..

Possibly Top Gun makes it into the lead.. I mean I bought the dvd after all..
