25 80’s Movies That Every Kid Should See
I will admit that the 80's were not the best decade. Lots of bad clothes and hairstyles - and loads of bad movies! But hidden among the bad were a lot of treasures that as a parent it is your duty to make sure your kids see. Below are the top 25 80's movies that every kid should see. I'm sure there are a few that you think should be on the list too - what are they. Also - on a side note - are these movies as good as you remember them being? I went back and watched An American Tale and it was super boring!
