The 80s continue to be a time that generates a lot of fascination in our present, be it for aesthetics, music or, in the case at hand, for cinema (of which we can find a good sample on Amazon Prime Video). And it is that the best eighties films are still some of the best films in the history of cinema today, but even more so: in that prodigious decade, for better or for worse, Hollywood shaped the strategies and structures that support it. today. It was the decade in which action and adventure sagas like 'Indiana Jones', 'Star Wars', 'Rocky', 'Back to the Future' and many more imploded.

At that time, the North American industry had just allowed new directors with European influences to enter the cinematographic Olympus: it is what we know as the New Hollywood of the 70s, with names like Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese conquering the Oscars. and the box office. But his reign had an expiration date, and the arrival of the works of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas at the end of the seventies changed things. Well into the 80s, the panorama of the billboard was already completely different. And Spielberg became in a matter of years the King Midas of Hollywood: everything he touched became Prayed millionaire gross at the box office.

Of course, Spielberg is part of this list of the best movies of the 80s on Amazon Prime Video. He does it with one of his most iconic films, 'ET, the extraterrestrial', which in 1982 became the favorite film of an entire generation, featuring one of the best soundtracks by John Williams and breaking our hearts with his emotional final. Along with it, in this list we have tried to gather some options of all kinds, from adventure films to the most crazy comedies, and without forgetting the Spanish representation with two of the best films in the history of our cinema: 'Los santos innocents', the adaptation of Miguel Delibes directed by Mario Camus and turned into an icon, and 'Dawn, which is not little', a comedy as absurd as it is hilarious signed by José Luis Cuerda.

Without further ado, here is our selection of recommendations available in the Prime Video catalog, perfect for traveling back in time for a couple of hours and feeling the eighties spirit.
