Sorry you missed the 80s brah
Someone born today is going to look at the 80s as cheesy as frick, horrible fashion, cheesy movies and music, and a decade that really didn't know what to do with itself. They'll be able to understand the 90s as being the glorious quietness before the technology boom as well as the fact that the government didn't treat their citizens like dogshit. You are coming from a pure nostalgic standpoint. There is nothing wrong with the 90s as a whole.

The Nineties brought us something holy, something sacred, the proliferation of female bush-scaping, leading to the razing of virtually all feminine pubic hair in the sexual marketplace by the late aughts.
I grew up on my old man's impressive stash of seventies and eighties era porn, it was a jungle out there, boys. A stark contrast to what I encountered in the late nineties, and on into the aughts.

I graduated high school and college in the 90s, yet I don't ever listen to any 90s music. I like the 80s music.

The 90's killed good music, privacy, and started a new era of foreign wars.

Pffft
They had razors in the 80's too you know.

Sure, but very little pubic razing was transpiring. The term razing means to destroy.
I.e, razed to the surface.
We talking pop culture here. How do you think trends like that take off?

Because of trailblazers such as myself.

Yeah, the music was shite in the 90s, but everything else was awesome. Aside from the music, I really don't see how anyone living today could not put the 90s as the single best decade of their existence.
You kidding me?!! 90s music was awesome!!

Good country music carried into the 90s, rock died at the turn of the decade.

Personally I blame Justin Timberlake, Marshall Mathers, Bill Clinton, and corporate greed.
This is an interesting thread and deserves a lot more debate, IMHO. I remember a movement movement to promote "Tolerance", or more loosely speaking - let everything slide. The advocates of this anything goes movement also made it unfashionable to be judgmental. This only breathed fire into the beast. I used to think the world had a self-policing feature to it, but I'm not so sure anymore. That troubles me.
Here's to less tolerance and becoming more judgmental.

Good point. I don't get into country music music much, but I like 90s country music. Garth, Alan, etc.

Yeah, the 80s had some real "slouches". 
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Back to the Future 1 and 2
Ghostbusters 1 and 2
Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2
E.T.
John Hughes films
the greatest decade ever for cartoons and children's shows
the greatest ever decade for horror films
and much more.
The 90s had a few great action movies, 1994 was a great film year, and 1990's Good Fellas but overall it falls far short of the 80s. Movies and music wise the 80s absolutely blows the 90s away. Fashion was better and girls looked better overall with straighter hair in the 90s as opposed to the 80s.
As for Clinton not doing anything wrong in the 90s, he was largely responsible for NAFTA which has been disastrous to American manufacturing. His cohorts in the Senate were getting Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac cranked up during that time which greatly contributed to the real estate meltdown in the mid to late 2000s.

They're not bad movies by any means, but a prerequisite behind these films is that you grew up in the 80s and get what they're talking about. Star Wars people will role their eyes on there not really being an information management system. Even Indiana Jones was a homage to cinema in the 30s and attempting to bring their modern adaptation relies on you having an 80s mindset to appreciate it. I do have an 80s mindset, so I enjoy it. Someone born in 2030, I can't say the same.
The only one of those listed that I'm confident will be watched 100 years from now regularly is ET. That's not dependent at all on an 80s mindset and I can't imagine that anything we know about extraterrestrials at the time would affect it.
But seriously, compare to the masterpieces of the 90s. They really bring you up to speed on the mentality of the time period and location where you are. 80s movies don't even try to do this for the most part. Even the Big Lebowski which was merely separated by its period by about 6 years completely puts you in the mentality of the time. None of the films you listed do that, so they will inevitably age much more poorly than the films of the 90s.

And just so you know, this is complete and total bullshite and if anything the 90s did better than the 80s did, it was kids cartoons. There is nothing in the 80s that is even in the same conversation as Batman or Animaniacs.
