The 1980s were an extremely transformative decade in the history of cinema. After the creative highs of the 1970s under the New Hollywood system, studios began to turn their eyes towards blockbuster titles and began developing more franchise properties. These films began to dominate the box office, bringing in large crowds to the movie theaters on a weekly basis. The focus on blockbusters, however, didn't mean that Hollywood turned its back completely on creative filmmaking. Just the opposite: These films really hit home with audiences and critics alike; and by looking at the movies that took home the Best Picture award at the Academy Awards during the age of big hair and neon, the creativity that dominated 70s Hollywood was still alive and well.
