The Worst ’80s Movies, According to Letterboxd

I like Letterboxd, the social community web site and app for film lovers. I exploit it to log the films I watch, hold lists of titles, and to see what my pals are as much as (cinematically talking, in fact). And I additionally like to make use of its database to see what movies are widespread and unpopular with customers.

For instance, with only a couple clicks, it’s very simple to type each single film on Letterboxd — all 791,369 titles and counting — by yr of launch, their ranking, reputation, style, and even by streaming service availability. Need to know what’s highest-rated horror film on Letterboxd? No drawback. (It’s John Carpenter’s The Factor, by the best way.) Questioning what comedy is the most-despised? You bought it. (That will be Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas.) You would spend hours exploring these things.

I not too long ago took a deep dive into ’80s films on the location. In keeping with Letterboxd, 49,330 movies have been launched within the Eighties. The very best-rated title out of all of them is Elem Klimov’s Come and See, adopted by Carl Sagan’s Cosmos, Eduardo Coutinho’s Twenty Years Later, Krzysztof Kieślowski’s The Decalogue, and the Speaking Heads live performance doc Cease Making Sense. 

After which, on the reverse finish of the spectrum, are the movies under; the 15 lowest-rated films on Letterboxd launched throughout the Eighties, ranked from the very best rating (nicely, greatest relative to the remainder of this disasters) to the worst. The titles embrace infamous sequels, bombs starring a few of the Eighties’ largest movie and tv stars, and a few extraordinarily obscure sci-fi movies. This checklist is a great tool when making an attempt to determine what ’80s movies to keep away from — or possibly to trace down in the event you’re planning a nasty film evening with pals.
