1980s Movies – Page 4 – Movie Valhalla

TOOTSIE (1982)

Dustin Hoffman shows women how to be a real feminist in maybe my least favorite of the AFI’s “Top 100” American movies.

Sort of a punk rock apocalypse. Or a comedy about some sort of alien invasion. Or a cautionary tale about the Neutron Bomb. Or…

A kid and his lovable alien pal try to escape from some government scientists. I found myself rooting for the scientists.

A gentle story about a young girl growing up who just happens to be a witch who rides around on broomsticks and stuff.

Daniel Day-Lewis had his first starring role in this low-key 1980s British LGBT romance.

There are very few perfect movies in the world. This is one of them.

Madonna’s first major movie role was in this extremely 80s update of the screwball comedy.

A mostly forgettable High Fantasy romp, with Warwick Davis playing a literal little guy fighting an evil sorceress.

An absolutely essential first-person historical document about one of the worst events in history.

A surprisingly down-to-earth and enjoyable movie about a bunch of 80s teens who have no idea what they’re doing.
