18 Awesome ’80s Movies You Need To See With Your Family

The Princess Bride

The Princess Bride

Year: 1987

Just like the little boy in the movie, my boys put up a fight about seeing this “princess” movie when I turned it on one night — and then they stayed up an hour past their bedtime to see the ending. With its unique storytelling technique, sweet story, and quotes that can pretty much explain life, this is sure to become one of your kids’ favorites.

Top Gun

Top Gun

Year: 1986

This one’s definitely for your teen, but well worth it! If for no other reason than to show your kids who Tom Cruise was before all of the craziness! But there’s also the great naval pilot story, crazy dog fight scenes to raise your blood pressure to the Top Gun standard. There is also second movie coming out.

Rocky IV

Rocky IV

Year: 1985

I would have placed the original Rocky on the list, but that one’s actually from 1976. Rocky IV epitomizes US-Russian relations in the ’80s, and sadly, it isn’t that different today. There are a few great fight scenes, but it is the soundtrack that will stay with your kids long after the closing credits — that, and Rocky’s line after winning over Drago’s hometown crowd, “I guess what I’m trying to say, is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!”

The Karate Kid

Year: 1984

Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita are the masters, and their relationship is one for the ages. Do your kids a favor and don’t show them the most recent remake of this classic, the original is always better and after watching this masterpiece you will agree with me 100%.

Can't Buy Me Love

Can’t Buy Me Love

Year: 1987

Cindy Mancini had it all, didn’t she? I mean, the convertible Cabriolet and McDreamy before anyone even realized it! Sure, the storyline was predictable, but there are lessons in there that kids today can benefit from, too.
