"They gave us the gutsy action hero, the maverick cop, the brassy heroine and the comedy sidekick. They left behind some of the greatest movies the world has ever seen. They were, in short, the '80s; a time when the hair was big, the stunts bigger and the bad guys were usually Russian. For the next chapter of Empire's unique tribute to ten movie magical years, we've begun our countdown of the greatest 80 movies of the '80s."
