Talk:1980s in film

Untitled
Hello. Nice start. I think the title is wrong, though: first, it should be "1980s", not "1980's". Aside from that, though, the movies are all U.S. movies and I don't think it was your intention to talk about 1980s French movies. --KQ 19:04 Oct 25, 2002 (UTC)

Maybe this should be something like "List of 1980s movies". Headings could be added to separate movies based on production language/location. --Mrwojo 18:35 Oct 26, 2002 (UTC)

Oh thank God. Someone else who blows his top every time he sees things like 1980's, etc. Only last week I saw a sign that read TOILET'S. Then there was the Cheap phone's I saw advertised. Not to mention the hideous Buy your car's here. Aaagh. I hate it. JtdIrL 04:30 Mar 8, 2003 (UTC)

Just a quick note that "The Last Unicorn" was not an original film, it's based on a book. 23:54, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Shouldn't list be moved to a category?
I'm curious why a separate list is being maintained here instead of a category for 1980s films. As it stands right now, if you go the individual articles for any of these films, there's no reference back to this list like we'd have with a category. Just curious if that was ever discussed/considered/ruled out or what. (Also, I'm a huge stickler for the proper use of apostrophes in dates. :) It's 1980s, not 1980's unless you mean the films belonging to 1980. The only other proper use of the apostrophe is '80s because you're actually dropping letters. --Robb0995 18:59, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Order Discrepancy
The order shows Beverly Hills Cop (1984) listed at number 9 and grossing $234 million, under Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) listed at number 8 and grossing $109 million. Is this discrepancy intentional or overlooked?--Behaelter (talk) 04:23, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Untouchables
The Untouchables article says the film grossed "Total U.S. box office gross: $76,270,454". This article puts it at $36M. Drcwright (talk) 06:24, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Top Grossing Films
See also the above comment about The Untouchables. The list of top grossing films on this page lists the figures for a film's rentals rather than their box office receipts (except for the first two movies). Just a note for further reference, as this should probably be clarified and/or changed. PBP (talk) 05:20, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Missing Films:
Sorry to be lazy. I am just in a hurry. Is there a reason Good Morning, Vietnam is not on the list?--Robert Waalk (talk) 22:32, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Box office chart is a mess.
People can't decide whether to use the original release numbers or combine earnings from all releases throughout the decades. ShiranuiAensland (talk) 05:14, 9 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Furthermore, Box Office Mojo seems to be missing most of the international numbers. ShiranuiAensland (talk) 21:17, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The 1990s chart also has the same problems. ShiranuiAensland (talk) 09:56, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
