Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

Maybe it is our encyclopedic knowledge of all things Go-Go's. Or perhaps it is because we learned about love from John Hughes. Of course, there's also the pining for the good ol' days of Reaganomics.

No matter what the reason, we love the 80s, and so does Delta Air Lines. Delta has a viral hit with its latest in-flight video, featuring the best (and worst) of the greatest decade of all time.

Take a look and appreciate the creativity.
