What is the most 80's movie?


I think it might be St. Elmo's Fire. It has aspiring upward yuppies, the fashion and feel of that decade. The 80's themselves were something that either you liked or didn't including the culture just like the film. I imagine most think it was bad, like the film.

What's your candidate?

I'm not a fan at all, but The Breakfast Club is VERY 80s.

Shadows in Paradise (1986)

filmed right in the middle of the decade. Minimalist and funny/quirky but full of great performance and writing.
