An, the eighties! The days when movie ticket prices ranged from $2.69 (1980) to a high of $4.11 (1988). Wouldn't we all like to have those ticket prices back? In 1980, the highest grossing film was "The Empire Strikes Back", which cost $9.4 million and was the highest-grossing film of the year ($290,268,568). The other films that did well in 1980, as the decade kicked off, were "Superman II" ($108,185,706), "9 to 5" ($101,290,500), "Stir Crazy" (101,300,000) and "Airplane" ($84,400,000). Of course, "The Shining" and "Caddyshack" were 1980 films, too, and certainly memorable ones. The Best Actor at the Oscars in 1980 was Robert DeNiro in "Raging Bull" and the Best Actress was Sissy Spacek in "Coal Miner's Daughter." Robert Redford scored his first Oscar for directing "Ordinary People" and the picture, itself, was named the Best Picture of the Year. Timothy Hutton won a well-deserved Oscar for Best Supporting Performer in Redford's picture and Marty Steenburgen was honored for her work in "Melvin & Howard," the fictional story of how a hitchhiker turned out to be Howard Hughes. Wishful thinking, perhaps. In 1981, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" grossed $242,374,454, followed by "On Golden Pond" ($119,285,432), "Porky's ($105,500,000) in a move from the sublime to the ridiculous, "Arthur" ($95,461,682) and "Stripes" ($85,300,000). Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn walked off with the Best Actor and Actress awards and Jane Fonda delivered the little golden man to her dying father privately. Warren Beatty was pronounced Best Director for his long film "Reds" and Maureen Stapleton from that film won for Best Supporting Actress. As Best Picture, David Putnam's "Chariots of Fire" won and John Gielgud, as the comic butler to Dudley Moore in "Arthur" won. "E.T., the Extra-Terrestrial" made the most money ($399,804,539) in 1982, and, all-in-all, proved that, of the 688 movies made in this decade, films by giants like Steven Spielberg and George Lucas were still the best and the brightest. Some would say they still are the best and the brightest, fully 29 years later. I reviewed films and books for the (Davenport, Iowa) Quad City Times for roughly 15 years during the seventies and the eighties. My book entitled It Came from the '70s is due out this spring. I am at work on a book about the eighties, and the figures and facts and reminiscences above come from my scrapbooks and my own reviews, as well as the International Movie Data Base. When I went back over the films that meant the most to me from the decade, this was the list that held my interest, not necessarily because they made the most money or earned the most Oscars (although some did), but because I remember them vividly, and here they are, in alphabetical order: "9 to 5" (1980): This film reflects what was going on in our country, with the rise of women's lib and the working wife becoming the norm, rather than the exception. Dolly and the gang tying up oppressive boss Dabney Coleman may have made many a working woman secretly smile. "Body Heat" (1981): Kathleen Turner sizzled onscreen. William Hurt was "angry" in one scene, and Mickey Rourke makes a scene-stealing appearance as an arsonist, while Ted Danson puts in a tiny little jig of an appearance. Hot, hot hot! "Caddyshack" (1980): Harold Ramis directed Bill Murray in this All-star cast that has become a comedy classic. Featured were Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Michael O'Keefe, and Brian Doyle-Murray (Bill's brother) who also co-wrote the script with Ramis. "Cocoon" (1985): Getting old isn't for sissies. Don Ameche. Ron Howard's influence. Steve Guttenberg. "Color of Money" (1986): Tom Cruise and Paul Newman reprise "The Hustler." Need I say more? Paul finally gets his trophy. "The Color Purple" (1985): Little-known talk show hostess Oprah Winfrey catches Quincy Jones' eye on a local newscast and history begins to be made. "Conan the Barbarian" (1982): Who knew that Conan the Barbarian would some day become the Governor of California? "Colors" (1988): Sean Penn and the boys, including Robert Duvall, rumble in the gang-infested streets and alleys of the seedier side of L.A., the city of angels. "Cujo" (1983): Stephen King never met a canine he couldn't make scary. "Dead Poets' Society" (1989): Robin Williams as a professor. [God bless you, Robin. Get well soon!] "Death Wish" (3 and 4): 1985, 1987: One death wish was apparently not enough for Charles Bronson. "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" (1988): Fine funny fare with Steve Martin and Michael Caine and Frank Oz directing. "Down and Out in Beverley Hills" (1986): Nick Nolte seemed to be practicing for his future mug-shot as a bum down on his luck in Beverley Hills, who is selected for rehabilitation by Bette Midler and Richard Dreyfuss. "Drugstore Cowboy" (1989): Perhaps best remembered for the narcoleptic character portrayed by River Phoenix, may God rest his soul. "Dune" (1984): Sting and giant slugs. A sure-fire box-office combination, right? No? "Eddie & the Cruisers" (1983): I always liked the songs in this one and the mood and the Springsteen-like vibe. "The Elephant Man" (1980): "I AM NOT AN ANIMAL!" John Hurt gives neurofibromatosis a face (no pun intended.) "Empire of the Sun" (1987): Christian Bale as a young boy. Wonderful cinematography. "Escape from New York" (1987): Snake Plissken = Kurt Russell. "The Fabulous Baker Boys" (1989): Beau and Jeff Bridges and a sultry siren of a songstress draped across the piano in the lovely Michelle Pfeiffer. "Fatal Attraction" (1987): Glenn Close likes Michael Douglas, but apparently she doesn't care for rabbits that much. "Field of Dreams" (1989): "If you build it, they will come." Dysersville, Iowa, stood in for this lovely baseball story of a man's relationship to his dad. Kevin Costner. Amy Madigan. James Earl Jones and the incomparable Burt Lancaster. "Firestarter" (1984): Stephen King strikes again, and, this time, keep a fire extinguisher handy! "First Blood" (1982): David Morrell's story of Rambo strikes a responsive chord amongst Reagan Republicans and the quiet Iowa professor gets the cold shoulder from some of his contemporaries after the film is a huge success. Sylvester Stallone will milk this role for the next 27 years. "A Fish Called Wanda" (1988): Can you say Monty Python funny? Jamie Lee Curtis had so much more to offer than just screams in horror films. "The Fog" (1980): But, speaking of screams in horror films, Stevie, the female DJ at the lighthouse, will give out a few as the fog rolls in. "Good Morning, Vietnam" (1988): Robin Williams rocks and rolls with verve as a DJ in Vietnam. "Great Balls of Fire" (1989): Jerry Lee Lewis is immortalized in an Oscar-nominated performance by Gary Busey. (Yes, that Gary Busey.) "Gremlins" (1984): Remember how cute they were? "Halloween" (4 versions, 1981, 1982, 1988, 1989): "You can't see just one." And that has proven true even today, with a recent remake. "Hannah and her Sisters" (1986): Woody Allen and Diane Keaton, plus Dianne Wiest, who now functions (on television) as a psychoanalyst. "Hoosiers" (1987): Indiana basketball and Dennis Hopper as an alcoholic dad. "The Howling" (1980): Frightening and riveting at one and the same time, with some interesting camera special effects. "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" (1989): Classic. "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" (1984): Again, classic. And the boulder was immortalized at Universal Studios. "Ishtar" (1987): So bad that it hurts so good. Dustin Hoffman. Warren Beatty. Isabelle Adjani. Ranks right up there with "Heaven's Gate" as a classic miscue. "The Killing Fields" (1984): Sam Waterston and a chilling depiction of how we sold out our allies and left them for dead as we left Vietnam. "Kiss of the Spider Woman" (1987): William Hurt and the late, great Raul Julia. It's hard to get back into "macho man" William Hurt after this prison epic. "Lethal Weapon" (I and II) (1987 and 1989): Mel Gibson and Danny Glover knew a good thing when they saw it. "Little Shop of Horrors" (1986): Steve Martin's turn as the dentist, alone, is worth the price of admission, with Bill Murray as the masochistic patient. "Local Hero" (1983): An odd little film taking place across the pond, with an "Animal House" alum (Peter Riegert) holding down the fort and Burt Lancaster as well. "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome" (1980 and 1985): I used to have a HUGE cardboard cutout of Mel Gibson as Mad Max in my basement. Wish my husband hadn't dumped it. Tina sings and acts. Need I say more? Apocalyptic Australia. "Major League" (1989): Charlie Sheen and Corbin Bernsen get to exorcise their angst at the Great American Game. "Manhunter" (1986): William Pederson. Wang Chung. Great chase scene in L.A., going the wrong way on the freeway. Bad guy Willem Dafoe. Too bad they kill off our favorite "C.S.I." alumni before the film is over, though. "Melvin and Howard" (1980): See previous remarks about Howard Hughes. "Midnight Run" (1988): Robert DeNiro has to escort Charles Grodin cross-country to testify, but Grodin won't fly. Humor with heart. "Missing" (1982): Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek try to find his son (and her husband) amidst a war-torn Central American country that kills indiscriminately. A cautionary tale for our times. "The Mission" (1986): A not-that-great Robert DeNiro flick involving missionaries. "Mississippi Burning" (1988): Willem Dafoe and Gene Hackman. Still holds up today as a record of civil rights abuses in the sixties, based on the murder of the kids who went South to integrate lunch counters and never came home. "Mommie, Dearest" (1981): "NO WIRE HANGERS!" Joan Crawford's behavior as an adopted mother, limned for us by Faye Dunaway. "Moon Over Parador" (1988): Richard Dreyfuss looks so much like Parador's dictator that he is drafted to impersonate him. A very amusing film. "Moonstruck" (1987): Cher slaps Nicolas Cage: "Snap Out of It!" Cher wins Oscar. Get over it! "The Morning After" (1986): Grim post-apocalyptic film. "Mr. Mom" (1983): Back when Terry Garr wasn't crippled by M.S. and Michael Keaton was still funny, in a John Hughes film. "My Bodyguard" (1980): A film of adolescent angst, and Chicago never looked better. "My Left Foot" (1989): Daniel Day Lewis in a tour-de-force performance as a crippled man who can only use his left foot to write, etc. "Mystic Pizza" (1988): This film introduced a lot of young actors who have gone on to have big careers, including Julia Roberts, Lili Taylor and Vincent D'Onofrio. (And Annabeth Gish, too). "National Lampoon" (three of them) (1983, 1985, 1989) "Nightmare on Elm Street" (five of them) (1984, 1985, 1987, 1988, 1989) Freddie lives! "No Mercy" (1986): Richard Gere and Kim Basinger in a hot, hot film set in New Orleans. "When passion and hatred know no limits, expect no mercy." "No Way Out" (1987): Kevin Costner and Sean Young in the back of the limo, with Gene Hackman as the bad guy. Another hot film! "Octopussy" (1983): Bond, James Bond. "An Officer and a Gentleman" (1982): Richard Gere carries Debra Winger out of the factory and we all cheer. "On Golden Pond" (1981): Old people can still act. (see previous comments) "Ordinary People" (1980): Robert Redford directs Mary Tyler Young, Donald Sutherland and Timothy Hutton in this pitch perfect adaptation of the best-selling novel. "Out of Africa" (1985): Robert Redford and Meryl Streep in an African adventure that was beautiful but boring. "Parenthood" (1989): Ron Howard directed an All-Star cast: Steve Martin, Mary Steenburgen, Joaquin Phoenix, Keanu Reeves, Dianne Wiest, Jason Robards, Tom Hulce, Rick Moranis and Dennis Dugan. How can you go wrong? "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" (1985): Pee Wee Herman and his bicycle before the theater bust. "Pet Semetary" (1989): Another Stephen King epic hits the big screen. "Police Academy" (6 of them, in 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, and 1989). A case of arrested development. "Popeye" (1980): Robin Williams in the title role. Shelley Duval as Olive Oyl (inspired casting there). I was caught in the crossfire of two groups throwing hard candy at one another during this one. "Porky's" (1981): Note how much money it made, as reported earlier. Nobody ever said that the American viewing public always had the best taste. "Predator" (1987): Green goo in the jungle and the future Governators of California and Minnesota. "Prizzi's Honor" (1985): Jack Nicholson and his real-life squeeze Angelica Huston are male/female hit people who duke it out. "Punchline" (1988): Tom Hanks and Sally Fields and stand-up comedy. "Purple Rain" (1984): The purple one (i.e., Prince) has a semi-autobiographical movie with television's "Link" playing his dad. "Quest for Fire" (1981): Rae Dawn Chong. Who knew that Tommy Chong's daughter would turn out this well? "Rain Man" (1988): "I'm an excellent driver." Tom Cruise ably assists Dustin Hoffman as his autistic brother to both Vegas and an Oscar. "Raising Arizona" (1987): Nicolas Cage. Holly Hunter. John Goodman. Still one of the oddest Coen Brothers films out there. "Rambo - First Blood II (1985): Sylvester Stallone toughs it out for us. "Rambo III" (1988): Ditto. "Red Dawn" (1984) What would happen if Communists took over your town?Another all-star cast, directed by John Milius, including Charlie Sheen, Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas Howell, Jennifer Grey before her nose job, Ben Johnson, Harry Dean Stanton and Powers Boothe. "Repo Man" (1984): Harry Dean Stanton and Emilio Estevez repossess cars. "The Right Stuff" (1983): A closer look at America's heroes, the original astronauts. "Road Warrior" (1981): More from Mel Gibson and Mad Max. "Robocop" (1987): Paul Verhoeven directs Peter Weller, Nancy Allen and Ronny Cox. Surprisingly, nominated for 2 Oscars. "Rocky III" (1982): the Stallone hits just keep on coming. "Rocky IV" (1985): Again. "Romancing the Stone" (1984): Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner, still hot from "Body Heat." "Say Anything" (1989): Who can forget Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack) telling John Mahoney that he is going to be a kick-boxer! Ione Skye provides the eye candy and the scene with Cusack holding the jambox on his shoulder while "In Your Eyes" (Peter Gabriel) plays is classic. "Sea of Love" (1989): Al Pacino and Ellen Barkin co-star. Al, at this point, has not been in a film for four years and looks nothing like is former self, but the chemistry between Pacino and Barkin makes up for Al's new look. "Silkwood" (1983): Meryl Streep and Cher and Kurt Russell star in this true drama about Karen Silkwood, who blows the whistle on nuclear contamination and pays the ultimate price for her bravery. "Silverado" (1985): Kevin Kline. Kevin Costner. Scott Glenn. Danny Glover. Directed by Lawrence Kasdan. A western for all seasons. "Somewhere in Time" (1980): Superman (Christopher Reeves) and Jane Seymour make time travel in Michigan's Mackinac Island setting seem very romantic. "Sophie's Choice" (1982): Meryl Streep, faced with the worst decision a mother can ever face, must survive the concentration camp...and she does a flawless Polish accent. "Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan" (1984): Old classmate (University of Iowa) Nick Meyer directs Ricardo Montalban in this Trekkie movie and somewhat restores the franchise. "Staying Alive" (1983): John Travolta tries to recapture the lightning in a bottle that "Saturday Night Fever" provided. As an interesting sidelight, the beat to this song is correct if you're doing CPR. "Steel Magnolias" (1989): All the women, emoting: Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Julia Roberts, Dolly Parton. Bring your hankies. "Stir Crazy" (1980): Gene Wilder and the brilliant Richard Pryor. Sidney Poitier directed from a script by Bruce Jay Friedman. "Stripes" (1981): Harold Ramis. Bill Murray, Sean Young, John Candy, John Larroquette. "You're in the Army now!" "Superman II" (1980) and "Superman III" (1983) and "Superman IV" (1987): If you've got a cash cow, milk it till there's no milk left! "The Shining" (1980): Stanley Kubrick directs Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall in this Stephen King thriller about a man slowly losing his mind to his demons while isolated in a lodge in winter. "Teen Wolf" (1985): Michael J. Fox learns he is a werewolf, but it has its advantages. "Tender Mercies" (1983): Robert Duvall wins an Oscar as a C&W singer, but the singing is painful. "Terms of Endearment" (1983): Another three-hankie performance as Debra Winger bids life good-bye while Shirley MacLaine as her mother and Jeff Daniels as her husband stand by. Jack Nicholson as an aging astronaut playboy gets another Oscar. Danny DeVito is also in this James L. Brooks film. Jack Nicholson, Shirley MacLaine, James L. Brooks and the film, itself, all take home little gold statuettes. "The Thing" (1982): John Carpenter's film with Kurt Russell still has the power to haunt. "This Is Spinal Tap" (1984): Rob Reiner directs and he and his buddies (Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, Bruno Kirby) mock rock bands...with music and guitars, yet. "Time Bandits" (1982): Terry Gilliam proves once again that he is a brilliant visual director. "Tootsie" (1982): Dustin Hoffman becomes so desperate for roles that he masquerades as a woman: "I can be taller. I can be shorter. I can be younger. I can be older." Jessica Lange wins the Best Supporting Oscar. Teri Garr, Dabney Coleman, Charles Durning and Bill Murray ably support. "Top Gun" (1986): Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, and Anthony Edwards fly jets. Kelly McGillis is the love interest. Only years later does Quentin Tarantino vamp hilariously on the homo-erotic subtext of the "Iceman" and "Maverick." Worst use of the theme song? During John McCain's campaign in 2008. "Tron" (1982): Widely considered to be the first CG (computer generated) film, Jeff Bridges is more interesting than the crude special effects. "Twilight Zone: the Movie" (1983): Probably the most memorable thing about this movie was the horrific accident that killed some of the child actors and actor Vic Morrow and caused a lawsuit over the shooting of the helicopter scene (which took place at 1:00 a.m., the lack of any stunt doubles, etc.). John Landis directed and dealt with the after-effects for quite some time. Also in the film: Dan Ackroyd and Albert Brooks. Not one of the decade's finest hours. Jennifer Jason Leigh (Vic Morrow's then-teenaged daughter) and his first wife were horror-struck when Landis came to the funeral and eulogized Morrow. "Under the Rainbow" (1981): This amusing film told the true story of what happens when you hire a bunch of "little people" to play munchkins in "The Wizard of Oz." Chevy Chase starred. "Urban Cowboy" (1980): John Travolta and Debra Winger and the mechanical bull. Scott Glenn drinks a mean shot of tequila. "The Verdict" (1982): Paul Newman plays an alcoholic attorney who must prove negligence on the part of a doctor who denies it. The true stand-out in the film was Lindsay Krause, as the nurse on whose testimony the trial hinges. Charlotte Rampling drifts in and out as the love interest. "Wall Street" (1987): Michael Douglas. Charlie Sheen. Gordon Gekko: "Greed is good." Sounds like a fable for today. Oliver Stone directed Martin and Charlie in a father-son role. (Sounds like typecasting.) "War of the Roses" (1989): Michael Douglas again stars opposite Kathleen Turner, but not as romantically as in "Romancing the Stone." The couple is divorcing and will stop at nothing to get revenge. Danny DeVito directed. Tagline: "Once in a lifetime, comes a movie that make you feel like falling in love all over again. This is not that movie." "Weekend at Bernie's" (1989): Bernie is dead, but he gets dragged around for days by Jonathan Silverman and Andrew McCarthy. (And this is funny why?) "Weird Science" (1985): Anthony Michael Hall. Robert Downey, Jr. Kelly LeBrock. Bill Paxton. "Two nerdish boys attempt to recreate the perfect woman, but she turns out to be more than that." "When Harry Met Sally" (1989): Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan meet and fall in love. Bruno Kirby (now deceased) is Billy's best friend and Carrie Fisher is his wife. A sweet movie from the days when Billy Crystal was "cute." "The Witches of Eastwick" (1987): Cher. Susan Sarandon. Michelle Pfeiffer. Jack Nicholson. "The devil made them do it." "Witness" (1985): Harrison Ford hides out on an Amish farm in Pennsylvania in an attempt to protect Lukas Haas, (who grew up to be really spooky-looking). Kelly McGillis gives up jets ("Top Gun") to play the potential love interest. "Working Girl" (1988): Another great cast, and another film reflecting the rise of Women's Lib and working women. Melanie Griffith plays Tess McGill and, as the blurb says, "When a secretary's idea is stolen by her boss, she seizes an opportunity to steal it back by pretending that she has his job." Another terrific cast, including Harrison Ford, Sigourney Weaver, Alec Baldwin, Joan Cusack, Nora Dunn, Oliver Platt, Kevin Spacey and Olympia Dukakis. "The World According to Garp" (1982): Based on the John Irving novel, it is curious to note that Glenn Close plays Robin Williams' mother in the film, despite being younger than he is. George Roy Hill directed and, in addition to Williams and Close, the cast featured Mary Beth Hurt, John Lithgow, Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy and Swoosie Kurtz. Both Glenn Close and John Lithgow were Oscar-nominated for their supporting performances. "Yentl" (1983): Nobody could talk Barbra Streisand out of playing this part of a Jewish girl who disguises herself as a boy to be able to take religious training. Amy Irving and Mandy Patinkin also took part in this fiasco. "Young Guns" (1988): A great cast for this western about Billy the Kid: Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Dermot Mulroney, Jack Palance, Brian Keith, Patrick Wayne. If you've seen all of these, you've seen the best and most entertaining of the 80's. Stay tuned for further discussion of the decade in my sequel to It Came from the '70's (due out this spring from Bear Manor Media with cast lists, pictures and trivia), It Came from the '80s. |
