Manhuter, To Live And Die In L.A and The Legend of Billie Jean are the holy trinity of 80s aesthetics. But what lies beyond that, what else should i watch?

That’s because it isn’t a horror movie. It’s a goofy, super Chinesey slapstick comedy. Why don’t you recommend something instead of being a sourpuss?

They're aesthetic, but they're not the "holy trinity". I don't know where you got that. But I like you, so I'll help you out.
>Miami Vice - the series.- no explanation needed
>Risky Business
>Fast Times at Ridgemont High - music and style
>Lost Boys - music and style
>Streets of Fire - same vein as To Live and Die with a young DaFoe

Streets of Fire has a sledgehammer duel.
I'm actually surprised it's not mentioned here more.

Not a musical. But they were excited about the new media of music videos.
If OP wanted to explore 80's aesthetics through musicals, he should look at
-Xanadu
-Footloose
-Purple Rain
-Fame
- mayyyyybe Dirty Dancing. maybe

You weren't goth unless you'd seen The Hunger.
They later wouldn't let you into Hot Topic unless you could prove you'd seen The Hunger
