	Blum on Powrie
		Women in the film, as exemplified by the diva, are objects to be admired, and stereotypes of the passive female.
		That film gathers all the elements of the crisis of masculinity: women are left out, and the focus is on two males and their sado-masochistic relationship.
		Establishing 'nostalgia film' as a phenomenon of the 80s, outside of a historical contextualization, eliminates earlier moments in film history where films were already evocative of nostalgia.

		The youth population at the end of the century was clearly witness to a new wave of films that catered to their interests and explored their images, and these films were and will continue to be undoubtedly influenced by and built upon the evolution of cinematic youth representations in previous generations.
		In selecting the films that are the most germane to my argument and in focusing on the subgeneric categories that are most revealing of youth film trends, I have had to eliminate a number of wonderful films and important issues for the sheer sake of concentration and demonstration.
		A filmography of all youth films from 1980 to 2001 (many of which are excluded from the present study) is included as Appendix A; this list is provided in the hope that a complete analysis of all youth films may someday be conducted.

	80s fashion, culture, trends - what made the 80s
		Living under the nuclear threat was a justifiable concern to most people in the 80's, and it is no real surprise that it featured in many popular songs of the decade.
		Hair styles of the 80s are one of the most diverse and humorous characteristics of this decade.
		Flaws in this film from 1997 that tried to group all of the 80s and late 70s culture into the year of 1985.

	Film History of the 1980s
		After the innovations of the 70s, films in the 80s were less experimental and original, but more formulaic, although there was a burst of films eager to capitalize on new special effects (CGI) techniques - now available.
		Film budgets skyrocketed due to special effects (expensive digital effects) and inflated salaries of name-recognition stars (and their agents).
		Because costly film decisions were more in the hands of people making the financial decisions, not the film makers, movies were made only if they could guarantee financial success, thereby pandering to a few select, well-known star names attached to film titles without as much attention paid to intelligent scripts.

		Therefore, in the same sense that there are "80s films" and "80s bands", there are also "80s videogames".
		That's not because the 80s was all about originality, but it just seems like the credit for the cheesiness of the Double Dare NES game should really go to the show it was based off of, and not to the game itself.
		What I'm trying to say is that a great 80s game doesn't just reflect the style of the decade, but also the culture, values, and attitudes.

	Michael Pare
		In the early 80s, Brooklyn-born Michael Paré seemed destined to become one of the great screen idols of the decade.
		Films like Space Rage, Dragonfight, and Moon 44 were a far cry from his early days as the 'cool guy' of the cinema.
		Reportedly based on the true story of a naval battleship disappearing in Virginia, the film was memorable to those who saw it.

	The Decline of Westerns in the 80s: , , Movies, Films
		Producer/actor Kevin Costner's box-office and critical success Dances with Wolves (1990), his directorial debut, was noted as one of the few westerns that cast Indians in acting roles, used Lakota Sioux sub-titles, and viewed Native Americans in a sympathetic way and not as blood-thirsty savages.
		Although the film was officially sanctioned by the Sioux, not all Native American groups were sympathetic to its portrayals.
		John Ford's redemptive last western, Cheyenne Autumn (1964) with Richard Widmark and Carroll Baker, dealt with the destruction of the Native-Americans, by portraying the forced, late 1880s westward exodus of Cheyenne Indians from Oklahoma to their tribal lands in Wyoming.

	Ink 19 :: John Hughes
		The film was a runaway smash, and led to a string of teen-oriented successes.
		Another way that the film hearkens back to Hughes' '80s output is that the music once again plays an important part.
		Universal [the distribution company behind the film] didn't want the soundtrack album because there are no vocals, so we released it on my son's label.

	[No title]
		After Porky's, every teen/college oriented film had to have a group of friends (one being the cool one, one being the goofy fat guy, and one being the guy who was just...there).
		Those films are a true product of the time and as such make for fascinating viewing when it comes to looking back on the 80s.
		To enjoy the film, you need to watch it more as an 'art film' than an actual 'plot movie' or else it will be as bad as it has been made out to be.

		80's cliches are brilliant cliches in their own right.
		For all the trendy 80's bashing lately, I find it funny how people keep returning to the music and how the films have become classics...not seeing much of that these days.
		I like the use of the 80's film stereotype; the diverse group of background characters made the film better, too.

		Take a look around, and it would be difficult to argue that fascination with '80s pop culture has done anything but increase during the last several years.
		Its interest in the film music community is therefore more limited: those who have enjoyed the soundtracks to Stanley Kubrick's films might take a particular liking to Children of Men, while those expecting a traditional film music setting will find themselves track skipping.
		The small amount of score in the film, which includes cues by both John Murphy and Klaus Badelt, is also represented on the album, making for an accurate soundtrack to the film.

	80's Action Guide only at RuthlessReviews.Com
		Firstly, action films from the 80's are all exceedingly homoerotic.
		Of course all of the heroes in 80s Action flicks talk like tough guys, but there is rarely any hetero-sex and by the end of the movie they are typically locked in mortal, lascivious combat with another muscular, shirtless man.
		Furthermore, the heroes of these great films are men who in real life could actually beat the living fuck out of you.

	DVD In My Pants - Review: The Breakfast Club
		In my opinion, the catalogue of '80s films that Hughes either wrote or directed is immune to this type of scrutiny.
		All of the students are serving their detentions for different reasons, none of which are revealed for the first 50 minutes of the film.
		The film’s message, the relatable characters and their recognition and acceptance of their flaws transcend time.

		From the '50s through the '80s, the warrior movie was a staple of Japanese film culture and industry (it seems to have abated now, or at least morphed into a sort of "ironic" phase).
		In fact, the action may be the most consistently enthralling of all the samurai films (even the "Lone Wolf and Cub" films, drawn from the graphic novels, that set the highest standards for '80s films).
		At the core of his films, as at the core of most samurai films (and most westerns), is the warrior's code.

		How fitting that the first major films to depict hip-hop culture were set in Los Angeles and New York, creating the first East vs. West rap battle in terms of which film you like better.
		The movie is as shiny and overblown as its predecessor was gritty and believable, a perfect metaphor for comparing '80s films to their '70s counterparts.
		No doubt we left off some of your favorite '80s flicks (slasher films, for instance, are something to which very few of us can actually relate, hence their absence).

		The twist, of course, is that rather than dealing with scholarly subjects, PCAT deals with questions about '80s television, '80s films, '80s music, and '80s trivia.
		The most surprising thing about the book is how genuinely difficult the test is: To get a decent score, you need to have a fairly comprehensive understanding of such disparate topics as new-wave obscurities, unsuccessful television shows, and big-screen Scott Valentine vehicles.
		Sellers also includes a number of sidebars, ranging from the uninspired (shows that should have starred Robert Urich) to the feeble (contests pitting one '80s staple against another) to the ploddingly obvious (a chronological list of number-one songs from the '80s).
