If yes, then trust us, you want this book... it includes cast and crew listings, actor and director bios, box office figures, trivia, film stills and lots more. So pull-up your leg-warmers, sling them shoulder-pads on and relive the wonderful world of eighties cinema."

"Another addictive guide is Best Movies of the 80s, the latest in TASCHEN`s flashy, inexpensive smart line of chronological collections, featuring 140 of the most influential movies from that decade of excess, as well as film stills and tech trivia."

"This diligently compiled list of 140 of the most influential movies of the 1980s were a time for adventurers, an era of excess, pomp and bravado."

"Comme on le sait, les éditions TASCHEN sont passées maîtres dans l`art de trouver une iconographie riche, inédite et toujours très pertinemment mise en page. Reste à trouver un moyen de la compiler. D`où sans doute l`idée de ces épais volumes qui inventorient une centaine de films par décennie. Et les illustrent de résumés, de notes de tournage et d`analyses critiques très agréables à lire. Du coup, la mémoire cinéphilique voyage au gré des pages. Les images permettent de capter rapidement l`air du temps, le parfum des époques. Et des envies naissent, de découvrir des monuments que l`on a négligés et de revoir des films que l`on aurait sous-évolués. Ces livres, qui paraissent gadgets au premier abord, se révèlent finalement des compagnons que l`on aime rouvrir régulièrement."

"In diesem Jahrzehnt gab es wirklich brilliante Arbeiten der Filmemacher und wie auch in den anderen Büchern dieser Reihe wurde auch hier kein wichtiger Film ausgelassen: 145 Filme, die dieses Jahrzehnt gebührend repräsentieren und mit sehr vielen Abbildungen vorgestellt werden."

"TASCHENs ultimative Bibel zu den Filmen der 80er wartet auf Sie … Die Zusammenstellung der 145 erfolg- und einflussreichsten Filme beleuchtet die Hintergründe ihrer Entstehung, erklärt ihre Ästhetik, stellt Macher und Stars vor … Spannende Texte und spektakuläre Bilder lassen ein aufregendes filmgeschichtliches Panorama entstehen, das Sie wie die großen Filme dieser Zeit fesseln und in seinen Bann schlagen wird."

"According to our film critic, Ciaran Carty, if you love movies then don't miss Movies of the 90s, Movies of the 80s and Movies of the 70s..( ) each with lavish picture spread - chosen not necessarily because they are the best of the most successful but because they (in Müller's opinion) represent cinema of the past three decades."
The Sunday Tribune, Dublin

"Offering excellent images and detailed plot synopsis from 145 of the decade's most influential and successful flicks, Movies of the 80s is a compendium that will thrill and entertain those with even the slightest interest in film."
