Films from the 80s

I don't know how you feel, but I'm pretty sure that films were definitely more fun to watch back in the 1980's. Maybe this was because we were all younger and, therefore, more easily excited, but I still find myself watching more of the old movies than newer ones. I will be adding an ever-growing number of eighties movies to this new page over the coming months - watch this space!
