Do you want to know about the best 80s movies on netflix? 1980s was the true decade of blockbuster movies. I guess I am in love with 80s movies and this is the reason why I have made this a list of 150 best 80s movies instead of picking just top 100 80s movies. 80s was the decade when focus of movies spread out from science fiction, horror, crime and comedy movies to teenage movies.
You won’t find such classic teenage or high school movies in any other decade as they were in the 80s. 80s coming of age movies were truly classic and they could touch up with any teenager. 80s Action movies truly defined the action genre. It was the 80s decade which saw the rise of action stars as Harrison Ford, Chuck Norris, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis.
Also 80s saw the rise in number of sequels as compared to previous decades. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that the success of STAR WARS influenced a lot on the film making style in 80s.
The 80s movies were racing neck to neck to become the highest grossing film. At first the record was set by STAR WARS EPISODE V: EMPIRE STRIKES BACK but later it was broken by Steven Spielberg’s E.T. – The Extra terrestrial which remained the top grossing 80s movies.
