Movies
The decade that defined blockbusters
From sci-fi epics to teen comedies, the 80s gave us films that shaped every genre. Here are the ones that still hit.
Blade Runner
Ridley Scott's neon-drenched vision of 2019 LA. Replicants, rain, and Rutger Hauer's tears in the rain monologue.
The Breakfast Club
Five high schoolers. One Saturday detention. John Hughes defined a generation with this one.
Back to the Future
Marty McFly, a DeLorean, and 1.21 gigawatts. The most rewatchable film of the decade.
Ghostbusters
Who you gonna call? Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
Spielberg made the whole world cry over a wrinkly alien with a glowing finger.
Die Hard
Bruce Willis in a tank top vs. Alan Rickman in a suit. Yes, it's a Christmas movie.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The Terminator
He said he'd be back. James Cameron launched a franchise and made Schwarzenegger a legend.
