The 1980s were a great decade for science fiction movies in general, and this included some great sci-fi comedies. With Blade Runner, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and two classic Star Wars movies, the 1980s was filled with classic sci-fi movies that changed the genre forever. This change was reflected in some great comedies too, many of which spoofed the genre’s many tropes.
Movies like Back to the Future and Ghostbusters showed that sci-fi could be hilarious while still telling fascinating stories. Some of the best sci-fi comedies of the decade would still be just as compelling with their humor ripped out, and this is often what separates a good comedy from a great one. Many of the decade’s funniest sci-fi movies started long-running franchises, while others have a distinctly 1980s feel that gives them a nostalgic quality.

That’s a fucking list! The only one I haven’t seen is Repo Man.
Best rectify that omission ASAP - a slid 8/10 for me. Can’t beat a bit of Alex Cox.
oh man I love cox.
I think I saw a bit because I remember Cox introducing Terminator on Moviedrome, Sunday nights on BBC2, the first time I saw the film. I then assumed every film on that show would be awesome! My teenage self wasn’t impressed. I shall revisit at some point with my now apparently more mature mind. (Yeah, whatever! Lolz.)
this is also a good list of movies that had good parody porn.
Not sure any such list is complete without The Erotic Adventures of Bedman and Throbbin.
I liked honey I blew everybody.
