Without a doubt, sci-fi was the most important genre of the decade, with non-human characters like E.T. winning the hearts of millions, while the slimy creatures from "Aliens" became the stuff of nightmares, and movies like "Ghostbusters" and "Back to the Future" fused comedy and sci-fi, to the delight of audiences everywhere. In fact, the 1980s saw the invention of a new reality, a movieworld so convincingly real - no matter now far-fetched - that spectators could not help but abandon themselves to it. Now that's entertainment, folks.
