The 1980s was the era of big hair, big shoulder pads, and big blockbuster movies like ET and Indiana Jones. At the same time, the launch of MTV and the explosion of video rental stores completely changed the landscape of home entertainment, giving audiences unlimited access to a whole new slew of genres that weren't always mainstream. Never before had TV and film fans been so spoiled for choice, with some of the best movies of the '80s comprising the most eclectic mix of actors, themes, and styles.
