I didn’t see a bubble chart for the 1980s. Was there a reason for its absence?

Musicals are a favorite of mine. It seems that part of the decline of interest from general audiences is b/c they are now so heavily associated with children’s movies-- thank you Disney. The more that studios take a chance on flicks like LaLa Land, the more we can associate them with more diverse age brackets and themes.

There were no movies from the 1980s that made the cut of highest grossing films 😞

Grease, Wizard of Oz, Purple Rain, A Star Is Born (newest), Willy Wonka (original), and Sweeney Todd. Can’t choose just one 😂

Ooh Purple Rain! There is a meme going around that gen x is so diverse in taste and culture and politics that no one word or phrase can unite and excite them. Except, of course “Dearly beloved. . . “
