Two ways to think of this.
For the original audience those movies were fairly compelling at least given by the revenues.
For the current audience those movies are a remarkably interesting glimpse into the worldview of the 1980s.
The specific years are largely irrelevant as the notion of far future wasn't as interesting at the time to the audience.
