"I don't mean what is the best 80's movie, or the most popular 80's movie, but what is the movie that most encapsulates everything about the decade. I'm talking the aesthetics, the politics, the cultural trends, developments in the film industry, the music. I'm talking about a movie that could not exist in any other decade. Something that you could hand to someone who's never seen a movie and say this is the 1980s embodied in one film."

The top 10 contenders, in alphabetical order.

Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo 1984
Flashdance 1983
Invasion 1985 Chuck Norrissssss
Purple Rain 1984
Rocky IV 1985
Scarface 1983
The Secret of My Success 1987
Staying Alive 1983
Thrashin' 1986
Top Gun 1986

Winner

Rocky IV

Lacking Short Circuit (86) and Real Genius (85), two of the most iconic 80s scifi films. They just don't make them casually bigoted like those anymore!

Real Genius is such a great movie too!
