When I think of the 1980's, I immediately think movies and music. I will argue that the 1980's produced the greatest movies thus far in American history. It was also filled with great music.
Some of the best movies of every genre were produced in the 1980's including, "The Breakfast Club," "Heathers," "Sixteen Candles," "Footloose," "The Princess Bride," "The Shining," "Die Hard," and "Empire Strikes Back."
Even the movies that did not do well in their time, have now been coined as "Cult Classics" by movie lovers of today.
Alongside movies, music was thriving in the 80's. Artists like Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Rick Springfield, and Queen were all making great music. While you are doing homework, or just have some free time, click the song titles, and listen:
"Crazy Little Thing Called Love" - Queen
"Another Brick in the Wall pt. II" - Pink Floyd
"Still Rock and Roll to Me" - Billy Joel
"Jack and Diane" - John Mellencamp
"Billy Jean" - Michael Jackson
"Come on Eileen" - Dexys Midnight Runners
