The 80s Music Guide

By Jackson Zane


As the 80s was the ultimate era for movie making, churning out some of the favourite classic movies of all time, it seems only right to suggest but a few to get you going on your quest for the best 80s movies. For those who enjoy a good comedy, look no further than the Naked Gun series, Airplane!, Blazin' Saddles, See No Evil Hear No Evil, Coming to America and Trading Places. The slapstick and downright stupid comedy style makes them some of the most entertaining and original of their time.

For those who enjoy singing into hairbrushes and swinging their hips in front of the mirror, what better to sample than some classic Madonna 'Like A Virgin' or 'Express Yourself', or Cyndi Lauper's timeless classic hit 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun'. They are just some of the 80s feel good tunes that you can't help but sing along to. That bit cheesier and therefore all the more enjoyable is Culture Club, whose hits such as 'Karma Chameleon' and 'Church Of The Poison Mind' make even the most stubborn of feet tap.

For those a bit more partial to some rocking out, with crazy hair and even crazier outfits, Kiss are perfect. Check out their 80s album release 'Lick It Up' for glam metal galore. Guns 'n' Roses may also float your rocking boat, whose 'Appetite for Destruction' album will introduce you to all their earliest and most renowned tracks. If you enjoy what you hear, also check out Alice Cooper and Motley Crue for more ego fuelled and brilliant rock talent.

The cheese ridden guilty pleasures that are 80s movies are still thriving from generation to generation, and there seems no end in sight for their popularity. Whether its remakes of old classics, or even re-releases of timeless feature films, it would seem no-one can deny the draw of the 80s movie age.

The list could go on, with such unmissable and timeless classics as Scarface, Stand By Me, E.T, The Elephant Man and so many more. It just goes to show, the 80s really do come out on top when it comes to the best era in movies.
