15 Essential 80s Movies to Enjoy with your Parents

Growing up our parents enjoyed some timeless classics, meaning they are enjoyable for all age groups! This summer take your parents back to their high school/college days and watch at least one of these top 15 best 80s movies. In my house, my mom prides herself in her knowledge of these movies, therefore I was forced to watch them with her, but I truly enjoyed all of them and they are now some of my favorite movies! This is a fun way you can spend some quality time with your parents this summer after being gone all school year. Plus, you get to enjoy some great films!
