Galley Friend Michael Brandon McClellan has written a stirring ode to the ’80s which, as an essay, is worth reading on its own. But it’s actually just the wind-up to his asking: What is the Greatest ’80s Movie?
Note, he’s not asking for the greatest movie of the ’80s, but for the best and most representative film of the decade. He lists a number of excellent contenders. I would narrow the field to five nominees, each for a different reason:
The Empire Strikes Back
Rocky IV
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Top Gun
Big
