Cinemablend's 15 Popular '80s Movies That Are Actually Terrible

"It was a time of neon colors; of spandex and pop music laced with synthesizers. You can take some of the best movies from the 1980s, pop them on now, and enjoy them as excellent films, regardless of their release year. That's not the case with every beloved '80s movie. Nostalgia's a funny thing, and sentiments shared for popular movies tends to cloud our better judgments, allowing passion to affect taste. Now that several decades have passed between the release of these films and today, we're able to recalibrate our opinions of accepted "hits" from the 1980s and realize, perhaps a little sheepishly, that there are movies that aren't nearly as good as we once thought. Let's fire up the flux capacitor and revisit some gems from the '80s that just don't hold up to scrutiny these days. " - cinemablend.com
