'80: The Empire Strikes Back '81: The Evil Dead '82: Poltergeist '83: Sans Soleil '84: Paris, Texas '85: Angel's Egg '86: Street of Crocodiles '87: Evil Dead II '88: Spoorloos ....... though my heart says Cinema Paradiso '89: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
We can all agree mainstream American films took a decade to recover from that barrage of inspiration in the 70s. But this decade is far from bad. It's the decade of the cult imagination, horror, genre, and animation. So overall this is a pretty awesome decade that continues that brilliant streak of the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s.

This decade’s a lot more interesting than people give it credit for. Yeah, a lot of the mainstream American stuff sucked, but otherwise...and it’s the golden age for horror.

Yep, is a pity that the reputation for this decade is of a minor one, there are many years where is difficult to choose one instead of the other. Many of my all-time favorites were produced during this period
1980. Stardust Memories 1981. Possession 1982. Veronika Voss 1983. À Nos Amours 1984. Paris, Texas 1985. Vagabond 1986. Green Ray 1987. Wings of Desire 1988. The Unbearable Lightness of Being 1989. Crimes and Misdemeanors
