Ah, the 80s! The time when denim-on-denim outfits were in, MTV was making its first steps, and October 21, 2015 felt like a distant future (if you got that reference, we can be friends!) We often feel nostalgic about this decade, even if some of us are too young to remember it.
Everyone probably has their own recipe of what makes the 80s a great decade to reminisce about. One thing we can all agree on though is that it gave us many awesome movies we still watch 40 years later. It is probably safe to assume that each of us has one (or two, or five) favorite movies made in the 80s that we will keep watching till the end of eternity.
So what is it that makes movies of the 80s a beloved entertainment for all of us? A common point of view suggests that since technology was not as sophisticated as it is today, to have you stare at the screen in awe, filmmakers had to concentrate more on developing a captivating story and relatable characters than simply relying on a bunch of special effects.
Well, we are not here to judge anyone, past or present, but what we most definitely are here for is to introduce (or maybe re-introduce) you to some of the—to use popular 80s slang—fantabulous movies of the decade. Do you agree with our list? Let us know in the comments what the best 80s movies are in your opinion.
