The ’80s were a wild time. This decade of provocative fun and frivolity managed to produce some phenomenally atrocious movies. But even years later, some are as unforgettable as they were comically wretched. Let’s see how much you remember. If you can match the correct movie title to the paraphrased synopsis preceding it, well, you’ve probably wasted more time than you should have watching movies in the Reagan-era.

  4. 7/8… Most of them, I just had to look at the picture. Never heard of the Harvard one though… The premise is so absurd, I may have to check it OUT!

    Sometimes I even amaze myself. :)

  7. 6 out of 8, even though I’d only seen one of these movies. And I saw a different new movie at least twice a week throughout the 80s!

  8. 100%. although, i should point out, side out is not an 80s movie. it was made in 1990.

  9. 100%
    And Sideout; while made in the 80’s, was released in 1990.

  10. Oh, the predictable 80’s. Now we need a 90’s quiz. (Do I hear Point Break being an answer?)

  11. Got them all, and I am ashamed.

  12. 7/8 – and I missed the second one. (Then again, I haven’t seen the second one… much less the first, third, fourth, and seventh. Even as a kid in the ’80s, I had taste!)
