Yes, it's technically 1990.

Honestly, I think we're at a point where any movie that doesn't force feed unrealistic diversity is a good 80's movie.

I can't wait to see the cast makeup of the inevitable remake of the Breakfast Club.

One of the all time greats but to me more culturally '70s.

Is this question most over-the-top stereotype 80's movie or what movie realistically best captures the 80's IRL?

If IRL...

St. Elmo's Fire

The loud clothes, the look, the yuppie, Reaganomics, drugs, chasing money...the cheesy soundtrack. It has every young big 80's star in it except Tom Cruise.

It encapuslates the entire 80's...as the Times said, it sits between the too early for the 80's Big Chill and The Breakfast Club...

for kids: E.T.

for teens: Breakfast club

for adults: Top Gun???

I don't know.. those movies were always on TV when I wandered into the living room.

Not the best movie of the 80s, mind you, but the best 80s movie - that is, the movie that best captures the attitude and aesthetics of the 1980s.

The eighties sucked and people who miss that era are dumb. Now the nineties was the peak of American culture.

I haven't watched it in years, but for some reason Footloose came to mind.

ETA: I'd probably add Revenge Of The Nerds too, not just for some of the music, but also for the "they'd never get away with an ending like that today"-angle...
