"(...) Why is it that film gets a bad reputation when it is attached to the ‘80s? Have we learned to try and ignore a time in film history full of creative exploration that didn’t only result in duds? Do we assume that the end of New Hollywood means the start of safe cinema once more? Did the film franchises leave sour tastes in our mouths? It’s unfortunate, because I was handed the biggest mixed bag I have received so far. If anything, it’s a mixed bag that makes looking back feel worthwhile. What cult films have stuck with us? Which films of our youths did we identify with more as adults? How difficult was it to view these countless films (including the honourable mentions) without nostalgia goggles (or — the opposite — the expectation that cinema’s most unnecessarily ignored era would not deliver once more)? I have come to adore this era, and I hope that I can convince you to do the same. Either way, there is a lot to explore. Here are the best one hundred films of the 1980’s." (Andreas Babiolakis)
