The Worst ’80s Movies, According to Letterboxd

I like Letterboxd, the social community web site and app for film lovers. I take advantage of it to log the flicks I watch, maintain lists of titles, and to see what my pals are up to (cinematically talking, in fact). And I additionally like to use its database to see what movies are widespread and unpopular with customers.

For instance, with only a couple clicks, it’s very straightforward to kind each single film on Letterboxd — all 791,369 titles and counting — by yr of launch, their score, reputation, style, and even by streaming service availability. Want to know what’s highest-rated horror film on Letterboxd? No downside. (It’s John Carpenter’s The Thing, by the best way.) Wondering what comedy is the most-despised? You acquired it. (That could be Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas.) You may spend hours exploring these things.

I not too long ago took a deep dive into ’80s films on the location. According to Letterboxd, 49,330 movies have been launched within the Eighties. The highest-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 Talking Heads live performance doc Stop Making Sense. 

And then, on the reverse finish of the spectrum, are the movies beneath; the 15 lowest-rated films on Letterboxd launched throughout the Eighties, ranked from the most effective rating (properly, finest relative to the remainder of this disasters) to the worst. The titles embrace infamous sequels, bombs starring among the Eighties’ largest movie and tv stars, and a few extraordinarily obscure sci-fi movies. This record is a useful gizmo when attempting to work out what ’80s movies to keep away from — or perhaps to observe down in the event you’re planning a foul film night time with pals.
