Nomination #2
Wings of Desire
Director: Wim Wenders
Year: 1987
My favorite foreign film of all time. Intensely moving film about an angel that longs to be human. Give it a chance, and you will be rewarded by a wonderful cameo by Peter Falk of all people. Beautiful arthouse masterpiece.

NOMINATION 3
"Game over, man. Game over!"

Just looking at some of these lists reminds me how fun the movies in this decade were, maybe not a lot of masterpieces but they were fun.
I second Aliens.
I will second Die Hard, the film that set the new standard by which the every-man hero would be judged moving forward.
Nomination #3
Full Metal Jacket
Director: Stanley Kubrik
Year: 1987
Arguably Kubrik's greatest achievement, and one of the best war movies of all time. Here is the opening speech - just great!
Full Metal Jacket seconded.
Aliens second
