I'll give you Ghostbusters. Blue Velvet isn't really "quintessentially 80s." It mimics the 50s/60s more than anything. I don't remember much in either movie that would make them obviously from the 80s.

And obviously my "argument" wasn't a proven scientific fact, just a generalised opinion. I can think of at least one movie that I loved that had 80s culture written all over it (moreso than Ghostbusters or Blue Velvet), Do the Right Thing.
