They're baaaaaack! After we ranked our favorites from '80s TV shows just two weeks ago, Hollywood vehicles are back for the all-movie edition of Rank 'Em! Just like television, there were many movies that featured highly unique and downright awesome cars, trucks, helicopters, spaceships, and more.
While visiting Universal Studios in Orlando on my honeymoon, I had the opportunity to get close to a couple of the cars in this list (visit the contact page to see me with Ecto-1.) Seeing these vehicles in person is like being in a fairy tale. We've all fantasized about going back in time, driving through malls, and racing along highways in these iconic vehicles. So when given the opportunity to lean against a fender or even get behind the wheel for a photo op, it almost puts us inside a movie. Let's rank the top 5 '80s movie vehicles you'd like to take for a spin! I've listed several below, but feel free to add your favorites I must have missed.
