Book: 100 Films of the 2000s

The best films of a decade characterised by excess, grandeur and experimentation
From *Aliens* to *Amadeus*, indulge in some 1980s nostalgia with this definitive guide to the most over-the-top, bizarre and high-octane films. We have taken great care to compile a list of the most memorable feature films of the 1980s, which is sure to delight both popcorn-munching film buffs and discerning cinephiles alike. Bold, over-the-top and experimental, the cinema of those years treated audiences to films as diverse as *Blade Runner*, *Gandhi* and *Blue Velvet*.

Science fiction, horror and action emerged as the dominant genres of the decade: non-human characters such as E.T. won the hearts of millions, whilst *Ghostbusters* and *Back to the Future* combined comedy and science fiction to everyone’s delight. In this encyclopaedia from the 1980s, each cinematic masterpiece is presented through stills from the film, a synopsis, technical details and a list of the cast and crew.

Thanks to their over-the-top Hollywood blockbusters, the early days of computer-generated imagery and a wealth of special effects, the 1980s saw the creation of a new reality, a cinematic universe that was sometimes far-fetched, but always so compelling that audiences couldn’t resist the urge to immerse themselves in it.
