I did not live through the 80's (not the whole decade at least), but I have seen Robocop which I thought was supposed to be a parody. Obviously Alec Baldwin's speech from "Glengarry Glen Ross" is iconic as well.

Even a recent re-watch of "Tommy Boy" really drove home how much of a toll Reagonomics took on the industrial midwest. I never really understood why the man was so revered, but I guess he put on a good act that people bought into.
