This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Utica chapter.

Whether you are 17 or 70, movies that were released in the 1980’s are a hit among all age groups.  Many of these movies contained hidden messages about life, that is why I have compiled a list of 80s movies that I believe everyone should watch before they are 30.

1. The Breakfast Club

2. The Goonies

 

3. Ferris Bueller’s day off

 

 

4. Dirty Dancing

 

5. Pretty in Pink

 

6. Sixteen Candles

 

7. Stand By Me

 

8. Cant Be Me Love

9. The Lost Boys

10. E.T

 

Now, get your comfy clothes on, a blanket, and some popcorn and begin your own 80s movie marathon!

Utica '20

Meet Bianca, I am currently a Junior at Utica College in Utica, NY.  I am a Criminal Justice major with a concentration in Homeland Security.  Crime investigation has always been something that interests me.  I’m dedicated and passionate and it’s hard for me to quit things. I get that from my father so don’t hold it against me- he was a veteran and police officer for 20 years.   Growing up in a family centered around law enforcement has helped guide me in this direction, and I will forever be grateful.  After graduation I intend to continue on to law school where I can further my education in hopes of becoming a criminal defense lawyer and later on a District Attorney.  An interesting fact about myself is that I found the passion to be a criminal defense lawyer from watching the O.J. Simpson case.  The facts and conspiracy theories evoked a whole new passion behind criminal investigation that I intend to use in my future.  One of my most prominent moments in my writing career was when I wrote for an online magazine and had my most prevalent article hit 1.6k shares.  I believe in treating people with the same kind of respect and manners you would expect in return, and in a way it has helped shaped my expectations in life.   When you first meet me I won’t be the loudest in the room or the center of attention, but I will be intently listening to everything you say, for what you have to say may have a purpose. I believe in purpose. I believe that everyone is here to help you grow into who you are today and who you will be tomorrow.
