Why 80s Movies Fail

The 1980s in general is just an awkward decade. It seems that every movie from the 80s is very corny and archaic. Rather than transcending time, like many older movies, for example, the 1940s and 1970s, which produced in my opinion, some of the greatest movies, especially the 1970s (I haven't seen that many 1940s movies, though they are highly acclaimed) the 1980s seemed stuck in time. The science fiction movies seem ridiculous, with the exception of the Star Wars trilogy (1977-1983.) I have tried to watch Blade Runner three times and have fallen asleep all three times and I tried to watch Brazil today, but it seemed so passé in both theme and production, that I couldn't bear watching it pass the first ten minutes. Those 80s haircuts, sense of fashion, and odd comedic elements seem to override any sliver of intellectual or philosophical elements of those movies.
A typical 80s movie scene is on that takes place in some kind of office, like the one in Runaway Train. Everything from the glasses and the facial expressions, are overdone and seem completely unrealistic in comparison to modern times. It seems sad for those talented artists: actors, directors, cinematographers, key grips, and lightning crew members, whose artistic prime occurred during this dreadful time.
It seems strange how there were some great movies from 1980: The Shining and The Elephant Man, but after that year, it all falls short. Pass that, the mementum from the glorious 1970s wears off. And the vast majority of the movies that people like from that era are science fiction movies that are nearly completely for entertainment and lack intellectual themes, such as: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Back to the Future, and The Terminator. These movies often contain children who are full of angst and adventure and come to help shady characters, which is quite cliche, but still could produce a positive effect is done right. But 80s movies seem incapable of doing this, as the results are largely predictable.
After this miserable decade of film, the 1990s produced some of the all-time greats. Goodfellas in 1990s, Silence of the Lambs in 1991, Reservoir Dogs in 1992, Schindler's List in 1993, and quite possibly the best year of cinema in American history, 1994, with Forest Gump, Shawshank Redemption, and Pulp Fiction. Of course people will say "what about ______; it was my favorite movie and it was in 198_." Well for those people, maybe you should write a blog about how you feel the contrary about 1980s cinema, but for me, I rather watch silent films.
