10 Forgotten Movies: Rediscovering 1980s Hidden Gems
They couldn't all be hits... During a decade that gave us so many beloved classics, there were other great movies that just flew under the radar.
Whether it was too much competition, inadequate marketing, or bad timing, there are plenty of 1980s movies that could have been big hits, but just weren't.
Today we look back at ten of those movies. Movies that had everything going for them; big-time directors, huge stars, exciting stories, and cutting-edge special effects. But because of a variety of issues, they just didn't reach the heights of other classics from the 80s.

Welcome to Rewind and an all-new version of my review of 1983. We look back on all the big pop culture moments along with sports and the tech that made up a remarkable year.
And speaking of tech, 1983 brings us two critical innovations. Innovations that would have a bigger impact on our lives today than anyone could have ever imagined...

The First Cell Phone: The Mobile Revolution Begins...
There's a good chance you're reading this on your phone right now. And that phone of yours has some humble origins that go all the way back to 1983...
This is the history of the Motorola Dynatac 8000x: the world's very first commercial cell phone. It's a story that begins in the 1970s and is followed by a massive uphill battle that lasted a decade and cost more than $100 million. But in 1983, the Dynatac 8000x finally hit the market.
The giant brick of a phone slowly caught on, and also became a part of pop culture; from Wall Street to Bayside, the mobile revolution was truly underway...

The Discovery of The Titanic
Titanic was called the 'Ship of Dreams,' and for oceanographer Robert Ballard, his dream had always been to find the most famous shipwreck of them all. Today, we travel back to September 1985 and revisit an event many thought would never happen.
The discovery of The Titanic made headlines around the world, but was there more going on beneath the surface than we realized? Was the search for the legendary ship just a coverup for a top-secret, Cold War mission...?

Flight of the Navigator: The Groundbreaking & Beloved Movie
It all came from a dream... In the summer of 1986, a new movie hit theatres. It mixed science-fiction and adventure and when it came to computer-generated imagery; it was quite ahead of its time.
This is a look back at Flight of the Navigator, a movie that many see as an underrated sci-fi gem, but had a big influence on the future of movie-making. It combined cutting-edge tech with practical effects and even featured a pretty recognizable voice...
Because of some extremely tough competition, Flight of the Navigator wasn't a box office blockbuster but eventually found a big audience on home video. Today, we look back on the innovation, imagination, and making of an 80s classic. Compliance!

Nostalgia to the Max!!!!
If you’re into having memories from your childhood or teenage years, triggered, this is a podcast for you. The host details, a wide variety of events, products, and notable media from the 1980s. Wicked awesome!
My Decade.
I was 15 in 1980. From 15 to 25 the 80’s were my decade.
Jamie does a terrific job of research and he just keeps coming up with topics! It really was an incredible decade.
Best of all, anybody can get something from it. The 80’s started so much. Atari to X Box. Movie franchises that are STILL with us to this day.
As always, I’m left feeling disappointed with myself for not hanging on to some of my old gear. Boy do I miss my Pioneer stereo system. It had it all! Cassette, turn table and a CD player.
Most shows come in around 30 - 45 minutes making it an easy binge.
