I will not lie. I miss the 80s style of movies and music. Lets have a good time!
Now its let us show just how horrible things can be. Well I can see that by watching the news. I don't need to see a movie where Superman is a rapist and the Lone Ranger eats babies.
To paraphrase a line... "I need my heroes as big as I can find them."

They showed Top Gun scenes about 5 times. 
We always thought E.T. dominated that decade at the time.
Maybe in retrospect it was really Top Gun.

I've said it before and I'll say it agiain, the 1980s was the peak of Western (and especially American) civilization.

Excellent 80's compilation. The only thing I didn't see and maybe I missed was something with Boston in it, one of the best 80's rock bands.
I grew up in the 60's and 70's and I have to say that the 70's was the evolution of rock and my favorite music was released during the 70's but there was a lot of overlap into the 80's and all things considered when you include movies and TV, I have to say that the 80's was the best time to be alive.

I recall coming to the US in the later mid 80s, and I would still remember how positive and happy everybody was. And you see that attitude reflects in movies, music, art, books.

I miss the 80's. Such a simpler time.

The first half of the decade was especially great. Cable/Mtv, VCRs, arcades, great music, and movies.
Even though I feel lucky to have been 10 in 80 and 19 in 89, it'd still be nice to have been born early enough to see the moon landing.

They only released one album in the 80s and most people remember them for their eponymous debut than they do Third Stage.

The first two years of the 80's were sort of a hangover from the 70's in terms of pop culture it can be argued.
But once 1982 hit - Fast Times, E.T., First Blood, Porky's, etc. the 80's were on.
I think what we remember as the 80's was really 1982-1988. (Atari, Arcades, Michael Jackson, VHS)
The latter part of the 80's felt more like the 90's. Hair metal was dying and the movies just didn't have that bombastic 80's flair.

Awesome, wish it had a clip of Rad in there then it'd be perfect.

We used to build ramps because everybody wanted to BMX racing when that movie came out.
Sort of like when Breakin' came out in 1984 kids were carrying cardboard to school to break dance fight.
Skateboarding, BMX, break dancing, parachute pants...and Ninja stars...what more could you want from a decade?

Totally agree about the late 80s. I loved the late 70s/early 80s too, though. A lot about that time period was definitely cheesey, but I still feel a lot of nostalgia for that era.
82-85 was definitely the peak, though.

And 1984 was the apex.
If Aliens came down to Earth and wanted to know what the 80's were like...
You would point them to 1984.

Off the top of my head, The Dekalog, Raging Bull, Come and See, A City of Sadness, Alexander the Great, Blue Velvet, Blow Out, The Thin Blue Line, Grave of Fireflies, Ran, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Threads, Patty Hearst, Under the Sun of Satan, Iguana, Das Boot, Manhunter, Drugstore Cowboy, Road Warrior, The Last Temptation of Christ, The King of Comedy, Gallipoli, and My Beautiful Laundrette all send you a very somber and sobering hello.
Movies about how horrible things can be have always existed. Movies about feel good scenarios have always existed.
