This ranking survey from goo Ranking looked at movies from the 1980s that people want to watch in the cinema again.

I’m familiar with all the Hollywood movies listed here bar Big (I’ve only seen snippets), and about half of the Japanese ones. Top of the list, Back to the Future, interestingly had a now-cancelled Japanese manga version planned:

以前発表しました僕が作画を担当するBTTFのコミカライズについてご報告です。
編集部の方々には八方手を尽くして頂きましたがそれでも尚、作中に数多く登場する著作物の権利の交通整理がつかず、現在企画が中断してしまっている状態です。楽しみにされていた方々には申し訳ございません。 pic.twitter.com/uAGUuVJnUR

The Japanese titles of the Hollywood movies are mostly straight transliterations, but some turn out a bit funny; An Officer and a Gentleman is A Journey of Love and Youth, Karate Kid is Best Kid, Coming to America is
Go to New York, Prince of the Stars, and When Harry Met Sally… is Premonition of Lovers.

The Japanese titles are mostly direct translations, but the Kitano film Violent Cop literally translated would be That Man, Being Violent.

What 80s film would you most want to see on the big screen again?
