That's because 80s movies are so fun and colorful. It was the rising of special effects, directors of gritty story oriented 70s flicks were discovering new tools and letting their imagination explode and reach new frontiers. It led to a new generation of filmmakers who eventually forgot the story side of things and concentrated on the gizmo instead, leading to the uninspired 90s.
Welcome T-Shine. The 80s were awesome.
