The Most Important Movie of Every Year of the 1980s

Ah, the 80s. The era of Reaganomics, bright neon, big hair, glam metal, hip hop, gory slasher movies, and excessive commercialism. In the same way that the 50s became the most nostalgic era of that time, the 80s have become a nostalgic trend in their own right, with many references over the last decade or so in film, television, fashion, and pretty much every other artistic medium. And as the 80s passed, every year there had that special new song, TV show, or movie that set the standard of the period.
