Nah, totally a 90's movie.
Another reason I think Point Break works is that there's still some connectivity to the 80's. It exists in a time before Grunge, Clinton, Fresh Prince, The Chronic, and other touch-points that helped define the 90's and shape the direction films would be taken in.
A lot of 80's-ish movies have been named ITT, but they were produced in a way that was intended to mimic 80's style... whether it's for parody or tribute or irony or nostalgia. Similar to how Grease mimicked the 50's, I probably wouldn't call Grease a 50's movie.
With Point Break, there wasn't really mimickry, because that type of movie was still relevant at the time. No one watched Point Break in 1991 and said "This reminds me of an 80's movie." There's an authenticity to it because the producers weren't purposefully trying to make it follow a nostalgic blueprint.
It was made in the 90’s but set in the late 70’s and mostly 80’s. I guess I misunderstood the question.
Gotcha. I took it as "which movie was made the way(filming techniques, sounds, cultural relevance stuff, etc.) that 80's movies templated".
