Anyone know other movies like this?

I am trying to expand my movie collection to include these old gems which were like magic to me when I was a kid. When I was like ten I would watch movies like this, The Golden Child, and the Goonies over and over and they were the best movies in the world to me.

Since I was so young at the time though I am having trouble remembering all of my favorite movies which might not make it onto many "best of" lists. Does anyone know of any other 80s movies that had the same fun feel as these?

Big Trouble in Little China has a similar feel to it. It's a great movie!

Patrick Warburton is a comedy genius!

Thats actually kinda funny, I originally posted this question IN the Big Trouble in Little China forum. However when I copied and pasted it here, I apparently forgot to reword it so it doesnt quite say what I wanted it to say. Anyway, yeah, Big Trouble and Golden Child were the two big movies whose feel i was trying to find in other movies. Hilarious/fun movies. Thanks.

Blind Fury with Rutger Hauer is very much in the spirit.

He asked us, "Be you angels?"
and we said, "NAY, we are but men," ROCK!

Blind Fury is a great 80s action flick with some laughs too. I would check out The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension as well. Masters of the Universe is a fun 80's time too.
