Best of the 1980s/1990s
I was born in 1987, and so got a taste of the 80s and 90s. This is a list of features from both eras which represent the best of the culture of those years. These features are mostly comedy/drama, with no major fantasy stories.
This list will also include features that showcase stories from that era (period pieces).
