80's movies I can show my kids (quality not necessary)

So I've been slowly exposing my kids (boys age 9 and 10) to 80's action adventure flicks that I loved as a kid.  Every friday we try and have a family movie night and I take every opportunity to expose them to cheesy movies  ;D

So far we have done:
Krull (loved it)
Big trouble in little china (loved it)
the explorers (thumbs up)
jaws
Jaws 2 (they thought it was cheesy)
jaws 3 (watched about 5 minutes and even they said it was dumb lol)
Willow (loved it)--the videogame for this one is surprisingly ok..
National treasure movies (not 80's but they still love the treasure hunt shows)
The last starfighter
flight of the navigator
ghostbusters franchise

next on the list:
battle beyond the planets
maybe some king solomon's mines

Any other long forgotten gems you guys can think of in the "space quest" "treasure hunt" vein of movies?  Doesn't have to be 80's...

Flash Gordon (some adult themes)

Enemy Mine

The Goonies and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I think Alan Quartermain had another one besides king Solomons mine that was pretty good.

I always liked Firewalker when I was a lad and if you get them into Chuck Norris there are tons of gems from him in the 80s
