Film still from Stranger Than Paradise, Jim Jarmusch's first feature. Though it came out in 1984, it officially ushered in the culture of "the 80s" for me; the deadpan irony, Screamin' Jay Hawkins' retro-cool sound, and the peculiar sensation that wherever you went in the U.S., it was all the same because that was your world-view, no matter how limited. More stills here from Nostalgia Party No. 2.
