1991. It's a pretty 80's movie on the surface, and I'd almost let you have it if it weren't for the fact that it marks official beginning of the modern era of CGI usage and the end of the practical effects that defined the previous decade.

Woops. I was going to put T1 but then thought T2 is better. You're right about the date, though. Good, I don't like that one anyway. (I just know it is a great 90s film.)

Main character in that movie walks like he's been hosed in the rear end just prior to every scene, it's kind of incredible.

I really like the 1988 movie The Beast, a movie about the war in Afghanistan that came out the same year as Rambo III and is far superior in my opinion. That's gonna be my contribution to this list I think, because I imagine most of the essentials are already mentioned after 5 pages.

but he used the rape to convince her that she wanted to have sex with him. also its kind of her fault for unambiguously denying consent to all his sexual advances

Agreed, although I rarely mention it because nobody else seems to be aware of it. It's based off a play, oddly enough. Great movie.
