30 classic movies from the 1980s that you no doubt know, but can you name them from their taglines alone?
There's an art to forming the perfect movie tagline. A short sentence or two that encapsulates the movie it's attached to, setting the scene and selling the picture to the potential audience. If the tagline does its job then if we hear it many, many years later we will recall the film it's from. Case in point, "In space, no one can hear you scream". Accompanying the 1979 film Alien, it's arguably the perfect tagline, conjouring a sense of isolation, dread and menace in just eight words.
We've rounded-up 30 taglines all taken from classic 1980s movies. Films you no doubt know but are you able to name them from their taglines alone? There are no prizes, it's just for entertainment, and you'll find a link to the answers at the very bottom of the page. Of course, you could go looking on the internet for clues but where's the fun in that?
Let us know in the comments below how many of these 1980s movie taglines you can name. We reckon, without cheating, 26 out of 30 is a pretty decent score. Good luck...
1. "They're here..."
2. "They're Here To Save The World."
3. "They'll never get caught. They're on a mission from God."
4. "They're back..."
5. "This time... it's personal."
6. "This time, it's war."

8. "A tale of murder, lust, greed, revenge, and seafood."
9. "If adventure has a name... it must be [redacted]."
10. Meet the only guy who changes his identity more often than his underwear."

25. "Why Are They Putting Seatbelts In Theatres This Summer?"
26. "The dancing's over. Now it gets dirty."
27. "You see them on the street. You watch them on TV. You might even vote for one this fall. You think they're people just like you. You're wrong. Dead wrong."
