Not sure you should have picked 30 years ago. Here is a list of movies from 1981:
Arthur
Body Heat
The Cannonball run
Escape from new york
The Evil Dead
Fort Apache, the bronx
The Fox and the Hound
History of the World, Part I
Mommie Dearest
On Golden Pond
The Postman always rings twice
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Stripes
Taps
Some of them you may not like due to subject matter or whatever, but many of these are considered classics (or at least cult classics).
Of course, you also got movies from 1981 like Condorman and Pirahna 2, The Spawning, but it seems like the ratio of good movies to sucky movies were better.
