"I don't mean what is the best 80's movie, or the most popular 80's movie, but what is the movie that most encapsulates everything about the decade. I'm talking the aesthetics, the politics, the cultural trends, developments in the film industry, the music. I'm talking about a movie that could not exist in any other decade. Something that you could hand to someone who's never seen a movie and say this is the 1980s embodied in one film." The top 10 contenders,…

neutral · AI labelView post →Since I’ve watched “Flashdance” and “The Last Dragon”, I decided to keep the #80s fest going with “Repo Man”. This is one I’ve once seen once. But an 80s movie is an 80s movie, meant to be enjoyed and scrutinized for the look and pop culture.

The film earned over $90.4 million to become the 4th highest-grossing film of 1983 in the United States (Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi was #1, Tootsie was #2, Flashdance was #3 and WarGames was #5).
neutral · AI labelView post →that meme going around of age yourself by sharing a movie you saw in the theater when you were a kid ... well, I pretty much saw all of them. Notable exceptions: Flashdance (I was *just* on the cusp or maybe my parents didn't want to go). Too young when The Godfather came out.
neutral · AI labelView post →I have a theory that TOP GUN and Flashdance are the same movie, same plot, same character arcs etc, but less sitting and more bouncing around half naked, aka beach volleyball. And when the hero does sit, it's THE MOST 80s FILM IMAGE EVER!

positive · AI labelView post →“Flashdance”, dir. Adrian Lyne (1983). While the movie was definitely coded throw the male gaze time place Jennifer Beals' performance as an lesbian icon.

neutral · AI labelView post →Hughes knew the soundtrack would be key to the film’s success. He wanted the music heavy on bass and drums to mirror the angst of the characters. As such, he chose drummer Keith Forsey to score the film, who had co-written Irene Cara’s What A Feeling for Flashdance. 31/45

neutral · AI labelView post →Between starring in music videos and epic dance flicks like Flashdance, Staying Alive and Dirty Dancing, plus singing with Animotion, Cynthia Rhodes had a legendary career in the 80s. And then in 1991 she made this movie, for some reason. 😅

neutral · AI labelView post →Maniac (William Lustig, 1980) Joe Spinell in this film for me remains unparalleled; a great horror film, and a devastating tragedy about how toxic masculinity hurts *everyone*. Also this film is the origin of the song of the same name from the Flashdance soundtrack, it's an amazing story:
neutral · AI labelView post →November 25, 2022 Irene Cara died as a result of hypertensive heart disease at age 63. In 1983, Cara co-wrote and sang the song "Flashdance... What a Feeling" (from the film Flashdance), for which she shared an Academy Award for Best Original Song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pge_...
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw it in the theater when it came out, lots of good movies from back then. IIRC the gag was everyone was worried that the wolves were eating caribou and he discovered they were living on mice instead. His whole "eating mice" thing was a proof of concept. Can a higher order mammal subsist on a mouse diet? Apparently, yes! But 1983 was a tough year for films. It was #140 at the box office. Same year Return of the Jedi was #1, Tootsie, Flashdance, Trading Places, War Games, Octopussy, Risky…
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's horror film is NINJA III: THE DOMINATION. This is Cannon Films' magnum opus in the ninja genre. Imagine a ninja film crossed with THE EXORCIST and FLASHDANCE that also features a massive bodycount. This is a film that must be seen to be believed. There's never been anything quite like it.
