Introduction to this blog

Movies have brought laughter, sadness, and frightened hearts to people all around the world for decades. The first movie was created in the late 70’s, which was a picture of a man riding a moving horse (SLAC linac Coherent light source). Movies have come a long way since then. There are thousands and thousands of movies out there. This blog is about the ones from the 80’s specifically. Many of the movies from the 80's are now considered classics. Movies from the 80's tested the way that people acted, dressed, or went about everyday life. Film budgets skyrocketed and more people tried to gain a career in the film industry. The weekly postings for this blog will be about movies all throughout the 80’s. I chose this topic because most of the movies I enjoy are from the 80’s. Although my favorite movie from the 80's is Dirty Dancing.
