    1. Empire Strikes Back
    2. Superman 2
    3.Flash Gordon
    Caddyshack might fit here, but I didn't see it for a while after(I was in grade school that year.)
    I honestly didn't remember Bon Voyage Charlie Brown was from 1980.

    Empire Strikes Back is #1 by a wide margin.

    But I’ll give a shoutout to Blues Brothers and The Shining.
