Best movies from the '80s and '90s?

[EazyDuz]

Recently discovered a few oldish movies which i had overlooked, due to being born in 91.
A few i saw recently are Goodfella's, Carlito's Way, The Devils Advocate (dont know how i missed this one as its always on Sky) and last night i watched, and really enjoyed, Heat.

Recommend any others? Generally most movies with Robert De Niro or Al Pacino i've really enjoyed. Scarface was brilliant.
Downloaded Scent Of A Woman but not watched it yet, any good?

Although this 35minute film was made in '72 I didn't see it until the 80's.

Best watched at the end of a long day.

Can't believe nobody has mentioned the Karate Kid! Am I the only one who loved the original Ralph Macchio version but hated the remake?
