80's Movies

There are many movies that could be in the top ten 80's Movies of all time. The Academy Award winner by year for the 80’s Movies presents an interesting list. While there are around 20 award categories in total, here are the big three: Best film, Best actor in a leading role and Best actress in a leading role. Each year the Oscars are presented as the official trophy of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awards, but interestingly very few of the 80’s Movies blockbusters appear. The only film from the top 20 box office list to score in these categories was Rain Man. Neither of the Star Wars films (Empire or Jedi) picked up an award in these categories, but they did scoop many of the technical awards. Likewise ET, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Aliens all failed to pick up Best Picture or Best Actor/Actress.

Horror movies had a golden period from the early 70s to the mid-80's Movies. By the late 80’s Movies, they transformed into fairly bland imitations. There have been few horror films that have scared and shocked audiences in the last 10-15 years. Some movies had their moments, but few of the major studios will now take on a gritty horror movie. Most recent productions are empty - they have lost their humor, tension and shock value.

If you have any doubts about how lame recent horror films have become, then see one of the all time classics, The Exorcist (1973). When your sleep returns to normal, catch these classic horror films or 80's Movies.
