One can sit and reminisce about the joys of film in the 80's, but I can almost gaurantee that it won't take you to at least three out of four of these movies. See, what makes these particular masterpieces of American filmaking so special is their attention to the gratutious scene in which no character is revealed to the audience or developed further. It just leaves you scratching your head wondering how and why you just watched what you watched. This anomaly isn't limited to 80's movies, but no time during filmmaking history have they been so uneffectively effective. I can only describe this as the WTF scene...where the audience is following the plot along, waiting on baited breath, anticipating the denouement and this (WTF) happens.
