What movies did people look up to during the 80s/90s?
You know how, today, we take inspiration or look up to “classic” films like The Godfather and The Shawshank Redemption? Well, what did people in the 80s/90s look up to? 70s movies? Black and white movies? What were seen as classics back then?

The Godfather came out in 1972
Planet of the Apes in 1968

Great cinema existed before the 80's.
Alien, Star Wars, too
don't forget Star Trek: The Motion Picture!

You’re right! Although, I have already heard the news. Hooray!
Thanks for sharing anyway!
I was gonna say, people were parodying and mimicing those movies then in the 80s and 90s.
Animaniacs alone had parodies of all that. Muppet babies too.
Just using Letterboxd decade filters gives a pretty good snapshot of the great cinema from each decade.
That's a fun feature. Thanks for posting it!
And before then would have been movies like The Searchers, and before that, stuff like It's a Wonderful life. The golden age of cinema was loooong before the 90's. Heh.
