5 Reasons 1980 Wasn't the Best Year for Movie Musicals
By Ben Smith

While movie musicals had their heyday in the 1940s through the 60s, by the 70s they were beginning to wane, and by 1980, they weren't doing well at all. With the selection present at the time, however, it's no big shock that they didn't. Here are some of 1980's notoriously cheesy musicals which haven't gotten any better with age.
1. The Apple
2. Can't Stop the Music
3. Xanadu
4. Popeye
5. The Jazz Singer
