One of the great tragedies of online streaming services is that they often don’t offer a very good selection of older films. Type in “1980s” into Netflix’s search engine, for example, and you’ll probably be very disappointed to discover that most of the decade’s best films aren’t available. In fact, most of the whole decade is unavailable, period. If you’re feeling nostalgic for any time period earlier than the 2000s you’re basically out of luck, and that’s a shame.
Fortunately, Netflix does still have a smattering of great 1980s classics. It’s just that, with the exception of the occasional highbrow art film (Kagemusha is available on Netflix, believe it or not), they seem to represent the 1980s as a cultural idea. The sorts of films that seemed to define the most popular of popular culture are reasonably well represented. The blockbusters, the cult flicks, the sorts of entertainment you see name-checked on — fittingly enough — the Netflix original series Stranger Things.
