Return Of The 80s!

Big hair, Michael Jackson, materialism, synthesisers... the 80s had a lot to be happy about and a lot that we’d rather forget. Whether you have fond memories or not, or even if you weren’t there at all, you may have noticed that Tinseltown has picked up the 80s bug in a big way.

Tron is the latest in a slew of 1980s movies recently announced to be returning for an extra sequel or two. Is the sequel stomping on sacred turf? We think not in this case. But, perhaps not all of these revisits are great ideas. Meet the flock of sequels that will be bringing the 80s back over the next few years. Let’s hope there aren’t too many mullets...
