#398 - Films that Defined Their Decades: The 1980s - WatchThis W/RickRamos

<p><strong><span style="font-size: 36pt;">Fame, Cocaine, and Coming of Age: Defining the 80s</span></strong></p> <p>On this week's episode of WatchThis W/RickRamos, Ibrahim & I continue our exploration of the films that defined their decades. Naming "The Best Films of Their Decades" would be too easy (and boring) an endeavor. These are the films that Mr. Chavez & I see as <em>The Good, The Bad, & The Very, Very Ugly</em> of each decade. The 1980s is probably the most striking example of troubling, jingoistic, and mindless filmmaking. Yeah, there are some good films within each of our lists, but the decade is overrun by films that trouble us and are an ugly examination of Cinema and The Culture as a whole. Take a listen. We hope you agree, and if you don't, we hope the discussion triggers your own opinions. </p> <p>Questions, Comments, Complaints, & Suggestions can be directed to <a href="mailto:gondoramos@yahoo.com">gondoramos@yahoo.com</a>.
