1980s Film Quotations
The 1980s saw the beginning of the end of Soviet Russia, the fall of the Berlin Wall, baggy pants, and hairstyles that should never be spoken of again. In film, 2/3s of the original Star Wars was released and Indiana Jones was a box office hit. The developed world saw economic lberalization, rapid economic growth in Japan and West Germany, economic stagnation, and debt crisis in the West. The Middle East saw wars and the East saw authoritarianism's beginning of the end.
