Movies of the 80s

I really enjoyed the movies we watched for the decade of the 80s. "Ferris Buellers Day Off" has always been one of my favorite movies and I think it is truly reflective of the 80s. The fashion alone in the movie with Ferris's leopard print vest is extremely reflective of the fashion the 80s. I also think some of the movies of the 80s reflected the tension among the United States and the USSR with "War Games", which we watched in class. The 80s were a big time for Stanley Kubrick directing wise as well. "The shining" and "Full Metal Jacket" are two great films by him and they reflect the culture of the 80s in unique ways. Both films show isolation in a way and "Full Metal Jacket" in a way address PTSD among the Vietnam war vets among America. Think the 80s were a solid time for movies because the movies that teens watched helped set a culture of typical teens. The movies of the 80s were a wide array of genres including comedy, drama, action and adventure, horror and thrillers. The 80s were a solid time for movies and I enjoyed the ones we watched in class and I enjoy many others as well. Movies such as "Goodfellas" and "Scarface" continue the mob films from the 70s and they do a particularly good job.
