re: Worst decade of movies?

There are so many shitty 80's movies, it really is unbelievable. It is like they didn't even try. Plot holes everywhere.

The biggest problem with Hollywood movies during that time is that everybody was trying to make the next big blockbuster after the success of Star Wars and Jaws. It really caused a creative decline in Hollywood and it wasn't until the early '90s that Hollywood started producing great movies again. It also didn't help matters that some of the most talented directors from the '70s such as Terrence Malick, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, and Roman Polanski all began to either decline, went into a slump, or in Malick's case stopped making movies altogether during the '80s. Combine all of that factors together and you have one of the weakest decades in film history.
