+Margie Kleerup and I were actually discussing the prospect of some 1980s fantasy movie watching with +Kay Hill once her history class catches up to that just-pre-CG era of silliness and excess. And, poof, this list suddenly shows up.
It's a pretty decent list, though the relative placement is YMMV, and it misses both Time Bandits and Baron Munchausen, both favorites of mine. (Many others are mentioned in the comments.)
Still, as a reminder of some movies to watch with Kay (and some to avoid (and some to re watch), it's a good starting point. (Thinking, in terms of ones not already viewed, Highlander, Excalibur, Time Bandits, Dark Crystal, and, just for yocks, Beastmaster).
