This was an era that was embracing new technology and producing some great results on the big screen. Another factor for the 80s and it's movies was the new hardware that was being produced - VHS, Laser Disc with better quality Television sets.
It was also the decade that produce many genres; from romance, thriller, horror, sci-fi, comedy to name a few.
Big blockbusters produced big budgets, stars and more importantly big earnings at the box office.
To be honest, if I was to sit down and name my favourite movie from the 80s... Well I don't think I can as there were so many that I could choose from, but still find another that was as equal or better.
From the Back To The Future franchise, to the brat pack collection and back to the Nightmare On Elm Street films, this was a defining and special time for Movie lovers.
Look at the reboots that are coming out today. The majority are based on the originals that were filmed in the 80s (but with not the same passion and excitement that the originals had). In addition, the franchise chain is making the follow ups to these 80s classics and the results are in the box office takings.
There is no doubt, the 80s were a special time to us all, but it was also an excellent time for those who visited the cinemas on a regular basis.
Over the next few weeks (and beyond) we will explorer the movies that help shape the 80s...
