Which decade had the better movies? 80s or 90s?

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Comedy wise I would say 80s.

Action....i would say 80s too.

Drama, probably 90s.

Horror probably 80s easily.

What y'all think? Sci Fi, Fantasy gangster etc. Which decade did it better?

 

[Deltron]

might be nostalgia and bias but I'mma roll with the 80's

 

[OmegaK2099]

80's gave us big trouble in little China and the golden child I'm going with the 80's

 

[Mike809]

Imma go with the 90s with classics like :
Malcolm X
The Matrix
Pulp Fiction
Goodfellas
Titanic
Jurrasic Park
Forrest Gump
Blade
The Fifth Element
The Sixth sense
Independence day
and way more.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

80s got
Terminator
Aliens
Predator
Die Hard
Robocop
Lethal Weapon 1 and 2
Batman


I don't think 90a can match that line up. Action wise.

 

[WhoShotCha]

Lol. 90s is arguably the greatest decade of cinema ever

As are the 80s. Wanna fight?

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Most movie buffs claim the 80s as one of the worst decades in cinema history

 

[JP_614]

90s hands down

 

[Tasha And]

80s got
Terminator
Aliens
Predator
Die Hard
Robocop
Lethal Weapon 1 and 2
Batman

80's def set the standard some of those won't ever be topped but if you're including action/adventure in the mix then the 90's packs a punch on that front

Terminator 2
The Matrix
Jurassic Park
Totall Recall
Rush Hour
Men in Black
Independence Day
Batman Returns
Blade
Starship Troopers

If you start talking about violent dramas with action set pieces, then I think the 90's easily starts to pull away. But yeah, traditional hard 80's action is unmatched.

I agree.

It's a close call when you really break it down.
