The 1980s gave us some of the most iconic films ever made, and in this episode of Opinyarns, we dive into IMDb’s highest-rated movies from the decade that helped define modern cinema.

We break down the standouts, the untouchable classics, and the films that still hold up today, but we also call out a few entries we don’t fully agree deserve their spot on the list. Not every ranking goes unchallenged. We also flag some of the titles we haven’t seen yet and decide whether they deserve a place on our watchlists.

Expect nostalgia, debate, hot takes, and a few controversial opinions as we unpack one of film’s most influential decades.

Rewind the VHS, dim the lights, and press play, we’re heading back to the ’80s.

We dive headfirst into the Upside Down to talk everything Stranger Things , with a heavy focus on the finale. From its Spielberg soaked nostalgia and synth heavy vibes to the monsters, characters, and moments that made the show a pop-culture phenomenon, we break down what worked, what shocked us, and what divided fans.

We spend serious time unpacking the ending, the emotional beats, big reveals, unanswered questions, and whether the finale truly sticks the landing. Favourite seasons, standout episodes, and where Stranger Things sits among the greats of modern TV.

Let’s talk Hawkins, OpinYarns style.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… for movies.

In this episode of Opinyarns, we count down our Top 10 Christmas Films of all time, the ones we rewatch every December, the films that define the season, and the movies that prove Christmas cinema can be heartfelt, hilarious, dark, and surprisingly epic.

From timeless classics to modern favourites, we debate what truly makes a film a Christmas movie, argue over rankings, and celebrate the stories that have become part of our annual traditions.

Whether you’re wrapping presents, driving through holiday traffic, or just need an excuse to put another film on the watchlist.. this one’s for you.

So pour a drink, grab the mince pies, and settle in…
🎅🎄 It’s Christmas at Opinyarns.
