    I vote Point Break (1991). Surfing, bright colors, a soundtrack with Ratt on it, Gary Busey, plenty of "witty retort followed by a punch to the face" cliche...

    Convince me otherwise.

    Agreed wholeheartedly. Point Break is a pretty perfect bridge from 80’s to 90’s. The Rewatchables podcast on Point Break is pretty fantastic too.

    i think you nailed it. I looked at the 1991, 1992 movies and nothing really comes close.

    Good one. Lacks the soundtrack, though.

    More of a parody of the 80's, IMO.

    Thought about that, but I've never seen it. From what I've heard I thought it was kind of a parody too. But killer soundtrack.

    Charles Dance is great in it.

    Last Action Hero is very 90's especially with that awesome soundtrack.... (Judgement Night; The Crow territory imo)

    The Wedding Singer pays homage to the 80's; but it is not really an 80's movie, tbh.

    at cuck Blake voting it up with his new alt though.

    Can we throw American Psycho into the mix? I know that just being set in the 80’s doesn’t make it an 80’s movie, but I think it fits.

    It has like the 90's high-end stereo and apartment studio; and the fashion and what not. I guess I can see some build-off off of the 80's with the sort of big city 80's movie feel. But it seems more 90's than 80's to me on the whole. Also, nobody associates Christian Bale with 80's movies either, tbh. The OP example with Nick Nolte and something that had the same type of film, feel, actors, plot, etc all matching up. I ain't seen that movie even, but that's the impression I was getting.

    I think it seems like a movie that could have been made in the 80's, but it was pretty unique for its time. I don't know what other 80's movies I'd even be able to compare it to. It also lacked a happy/resolved ending or a real love interest.

    Tell us more about how American Psycho had " like the 90's high-end stereo and apartment studio; and the fashion and what not."
