The 1980s was not a decade of innovation and experimentation in film like the 1970s was. It was a decade in which filmmakers mostly played it safe. Still, there were movies that pushed the boundaries of what was considered acceptable or appropriate for mainstream audiences.
Today, the graphic violence and explicit sexuality depicted in these films may be more commonplace, but when they were released, they sparked debates about censorship and artistic freedom. Conversely, some films weren’t problematic at the time but have become so due to changing social mores.
Here are 15 controversial ’80s movies that continue to push buttons today.

WHAT FEARS HAVE YOU OVERCOME AND HOW?
Acrophobia (fear of heights) is my biggest weakness. It’s very odd, as I can go on roller coasters and walk out on the Skydeck of the Willis Tower in Chicago, and even be shot up from the ground 200 feet before freefalling back down on the SpaceShot here in town, but don’t put me on a Ferris wheel or make me cross a high bridge or drive in the Rockies, as I’m most likely to suffer a panic attack. So, I’ve not fully overcome my greatest fear, but I’m working on it!
