Liam Gaughan is a writer at Collider with a passion for classic films and the work of Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.
The 1980s were a very important decade in cinematic history, as it officially seemed to launch the “blockbuster era” that had begun a few years prior thanks to the success of Star Wars: Episode IV- A New Hope and Jaws. The 1980s saw the dominance of many popular franchises, as well as the rise of many acclaimed Saturday Night Live stars who made their transition to appearing in films.
The most hilariously entertaining aspect of A View To A Kill is the performance by Christopher Walken, who was cast as the former Nazi experiment-turned supervillain known as Max Zorin. In a role that had originally been written for David Bowie, Walken created what was most certainly the weirdest, if not necessarily the most intimidating, Bond villain of all time.
*Availability in US Release Date June 17, 1983 Cast Christopher Reeve , Richard Pryor , Jackie Cooper , Marc McClure , Annette O'Toole , Annie Ross Runtime 125 Writers David Newman , Leslie Newman , Jerry Siegel , Joe Shuster 8 ‘Ghostbusters II’ Directed by Ivan Reitman Ghostbusters II was faced with some of the greatest expectations out of any 1980s blockbuster, as the original film from 1984 had proven to be one of the biggest popular culture hits of the decade.
Beautifully shot and professionally produced, 8 Million Ways To Die captures the essence of Los Angeles at the height of its popular culture dominance in the 1980s. The film also rests on the back of Jeff Bridges, whose performance as a troubled sleuth is so charismatic that it is very easy to look over some of the film’s minor plot holes and contrivances, as they never detract from the character arcs.
The plot of UHF would now feel completely incomprehensible to younger film fans, as it makes references to technology that no longer exists. While the film’s assumptions about the way that the entertainment industry will evolve have certainly not aged very well in the slightest, Yankovic is so perfectly cast as an underdog trying to fight the system that UHF does have some value as a guilty pleasure. It’s made even more unique considering how few films Yankovic was actually involved in.
Flashdance is still entertaining because of its amazing music and dance scenes, which work in isolation from the rest of the plot. Almost every bit of dialogue is cringe-inducing in one way or another, but viewers will not want to turn off the audio when rewatching, as they may miss some sections of the terrific original soundtrack. Dance movies certainly peaked in the 1980s, and while Flashdance is not one of the best, it's certainly the most iconic.
