So we're all agreed that the 1980's are the most overrated decade for film, right?...Right?
Phew, ok then, I was worried for a second.
Cocaine drove everything that decade.

pretty sure the driving force of the 80's was money, Rich
Nope. Everything great about the 80s was due to people who grew up in the 50s watching old classics and paying homage to them
Then you had a good economy leading to overconsumption which was ripe for satirizing.
Then you had the Cold War still going on. When the world could end at any moment, people just wanted to have fun.
Then people were more emotionally mature back then and didn't mind that kid's movies could get a bit dark or serious.

That's entirely from the cold war though.
What do kids have to fear now?

Thanks, OP, I'm going to go watch Thief and follow it up with Manhunter.
1980's are the best era for comfy flicks, though

Internet validation is the best feeling, Thanks!

Die Hard came out in the 80s, your argument is invalid

Overrated would mean that the movies made in that time period are highly rated...which isn't the case, so no.
Overrated? Blockbusters were at their peak and there is a wealth of great films beyond that. Not sure it's the best decade for film, but it's the best in recent history. If you want an overrated decade, that's the 70's.

You couldn't be more wrong if you tried
