People really feel that strongly about Serpico?

And for me, I view the 80s as a decade of crap, not just for movies, but for tv and music as well. There's some great stuff from the 80s, but there just seems to be a lot more bad, including things that many people seem to think is great.

are all crap?
Curious which ones you think are bad that many people find great. I can see where parts of the 80s could rub people wrong, lots of synth and flashing lights and fake looking special effects in there, but there are also a ton of iconic works that came out of the decade.Bruce Almighty said:

I'm guessing I'm a "tweener" as I was 10 in '77 when Star Wars came out, and 16 in '83 when Jedi came out. I've had a few movies from outside that time frame infiltrate my all-time favorites, but for the most part it was that time that really defined my favorites list.MuckRaker96 said:
The "greatest movie" decade is entirely subjective to your age. To me and a legion of others on there, the 80s blows the 70s and the 90s away and it's not even close. But I was 6 in 1980 and 15 in 1989 so that makes sense. Those are your prime "movie discovering years"
I was a bit hyperbolic when I said it was a decade of crap as every decade has its share of good and bad, but considering I was born in 79, I should like stuff from the 80s more than I do, but if I were to rank my favorites of any form of media, there just seems to be fewer from that decade than all others. I think music from the 80s is pretty bad. I love Prince, GnR, The Police and Michael Jackson, but think most of the pop music from the era was bad and I don't like most of the rock music from the decade either. Music from the 60s, 70s and 90s is much better IMO.bluefire579 said:Curious which ones you think are bad that many people find great.

Shows like Airwolf, A-Team, Miami Vice, Love Boat, Dallas, and Knight Rider have not aged well.
Ah, a reference from the 90s.Quote:

A theory I read is if you take the year you were 13 and go 3 years on either side of that, your favorite movie is almost guaranteed to come from those years.
Absolutely true for me. (I was 13 when LOTR: FOTR came out.)
