This volume features a compilation list of the most influential films of the 1980s that's sure to please popcorn gobblers and highbrow chin-strokers alike. Adventurous, excessive, and experimental, '80s cinema saw moviegoers get their kicks from pictures as wide-ranging as 'Blade Runner', 'Gandhi', and 'Blue Velvet'.
