(6) National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation vs. (11) Lethal Weapon
(6) National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989)
Clark’s lights, the Christmas bonus, Cousin Eddie, the squirrel, the sled, and dozens of quotable scenes gave Christmas Vacation a cultural life far beyond its original release. Its annual holiday rewatchability has made it one of the most enduring comedies produced during the decade. It received a middle seed because its identity is more specifically Christmas than broadly ’80s.
(11) Lethal Weapon (1987)
Buddy-cop chemistry, Los Angeles, practical stunts, action, humor, Mel Gibson, and Danny Glover helped establish one of the defining action franchises of the era. Riggs and Murtaugh became lasting characters, and the movie’s blend of danger, comedy, and partnership influenced action films for years afterward.
