You had me right up until the part about movies


The 80's had some issues, to be sure. And judging music from any given era is going to come down to personal taste (personally, I find the late 90's, early 00's to be a complete wasteland as far as music goes).

Here are 45 of the 50 most popular movies from the 80's:

Aliens
Amadeus
Back to the Future
Batman
Beetlejuice
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
Blade Runner
Breakfast Club
Dead Poets Society
Die Hard
Dirty Dancing
Dune
Empire Strikes Back
ET
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Full Metal Jacket
Ghostbusters
Goonies
Labyrinth
Lethal Weapon
National Lampoon's Vacation
Platoon
Police Academy
Poltergeist
Predator
Pretty in Pink
Princess Bridde
Raiders of the Lost Arc
Return of the Jedi
Road House
Rocky IV
Scarface
Sixteen Candles
Spaceballs
Stand By Me
The Karate Kid
The Little Mermaid
The Lost Boys
The NeverEnding Story
The Shining
The Terminator
The Thing
Top Gun
Weird Science

Personally, I'd take that list of movies over a comparable list from any other decade. Of the things the 80's got wrong, I disagree that movies were one of them.
