What are some common themes of movies in the 1980 s?

I grew up during the 1980s, and I remeber me and my male friend watching
- action movies (Rambo, Terminator etc)
- song and dance movies (Flashdance, Footloose - mostly with girlfriends)
- SciFi (HUGE topic among us whether Starwars or Startrek)
- ANYTHING, really ANYTHING with a fast car, and THUS, and that's the one who rules them all:

BACK TO THE FUTURE

All parts, everything

Except, and I didn't tell that to my friends then:
The Last Unicorn and Watership Down.
I had a girl then who loves unicorns and lonesome rabbits, and so ... -- Dear friends, if you read this, I apologise to my fraternity that I had to break my vow to not ever watch cartoon movies with sentimental songs. As a punishment, I'll watch "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" a dozen times over. Deal? ;)

Technology, the future, fantasy, supernatural

A lot of action, fantasy, and horror came from the 80's. I would also give this decade the credit of the official birth of the rom-com.

Society falling apart was a very prevalent theme

Group of kids go on an adventure and it's a growing up experience, like: Goonies, Stand By Me, Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead etc.

A lot of action movies like Rambo, Commando, etc.

The success of Star Wars started a trend for science fiction and fantasy.
