Where are my 80s kids at? You know who you are, the ones who survived the years of big hair, leg warmers, stirrup pants, neon everything, crimped hair, off-the-shoulder shirts, Jazzercise, fanny packs and scrunchies. It’s funny how some of those trends have come full circle! I’m looking at you scrunchies and fanny packs. The 80s wasn’t just about questionable fashion statements; there was a lot of classic entertainment that came out of that decade, including one of the most classic lines of all time, “Bueller?” Here’s a list of the best family-friendly 80’s movies to watch with your kids. Grab some popcorn, a cozy blanket and cuddle up on the couch with your people for a trip down nostalgia lane with any one of these favorites.
