A lot of people make derisory comments about the 1980’s and knock the fashions, hairstyles etc But you can’t deny it was a decade that produced some great movies.
For those in their mid twenties and younger, a lot of these movies are probably just names they hear they’re parents mention. When in fact they really should have seen them as they are modern classics.
Although over 20 years old now, these films still bring as much joy to the audiences today as they did the first time around and are still firm favorites.
Why not try out these 5 which are amongst my personal favorites. You have nothing to lose and a great nights entertainment to gain.
First of all I want to take you to Chicago and introduce you to the cult classic Adventures in Babysitting. Starring a young Elisabeth Shue, this was a smash hit in it’s time and is still a great movie.
If you enjoy a good sports comedy, then Major League will suit you down to the ground. It was a big hit and two sequels followed.
A truly iconic movie from the 1980’s in the Breakfast Club. Starring many of the young stars of that era including Molly Ringwald, you will probably have heard of it even if you haven’t gotten around to seeing it yet. This is a movie that really deserves the title ‘classic’.
Although a major star now, in the 1980’s Matthew Broderick was just starting out, and his first major role was in the extremely funny Ferris Bueller’s day off. The tale of a kid, his girlfriend and buddy skipping school for a day in the big city was a huge hit at the time and is still a great laugh.
A great action movie that for me has never been surpassed is the fabulous Die Hard. What else could you want from a leading man than the charismatic Bruce Willis? It’s a testimony to the brilliance of this film that the latest sequel only came out in the last few years. Two hours of pure action packed entertainment.
