De Aliens a Amadeus, alégrese el día con una buena dosis de nostalgia con esta biblia dedicada al cine más atrevido, insólito y animado de los años ochenta. Elaborada con esmero, esta lista de las películas más influyentes de la década hará las delicias de los aficionados al cine de palomitas pero también de los cinéfilos más sesudos. Aventureros, excesivos y experimentales, estos filmes hicieron felices a los espectadores con títulos tan diversos como Blade Runner, Gandhi y Terciopelo azul (Blue Velvet).
La ciencia ficción, el terror y la acción se impusieron como los géneros que iban a definir esta década. Personajes no humanos como E.T. se ganaron el corazón de medio mundo y películas como Cazafantasmas y Regreso al futuro mezclaron deliciosamente comedia y ciencia ficción. En esta enciclopedia del cine de los ochenta, cada obra maestra viene presentada con fotogramas, sinopsis, reparto, relación de los miembros del equipo de rodaje y detalles técnicos.
Con unas premisas propias del cine más taquillero de Hollywood, con las primeras imágenes generadas por ordenador y brillantes efectos especiales, la década de 1980 vio el nacimiento de una nueva realidad, un mundo cinematográfico tan convincentemente real no importa lo descabellado que pueda parecer hoy que los espectadores no pudieron evitar la inmersión.
