ABOUT THIS COLLECTION
Hey, I'm Doren! Welcome to 1980s Rewind — my personal celebration of the movies and television that made the 1980s unforgettable.
Every movie and TV series here comes from my own viewing collection, originally tracked with Trakt. This isn't a definitive list of everything released in the decade; it's a look at the titles I've watched, rediscovered, and enjoyed.
My love of the 80s goes beyond the screen. Check out Doren’s Dare to Be Different 80s New Wave Show, my streaming radio show on CJ’s Awesome 80s. And for something completely different, visit my Personal Weather Station (PWS) page.
Explore the posters, jump between release years, discover the television shows in the archive, and see how much of the decade you remember. Grab some popcorn. We're going back to the 80s.

Broadcast attribution is editorial research, supplemented by historical schedules; multi-network and rerun cases are labeled rather than forced into ABC, CBS, or NBC. 1985–86 schedule · Historical 1980s schedules · TVmaze metadata reference.
