What was it that made '80s movies so amazing? The best '80s movies remind many of us of the good old days: loud outfits, big hair, perfect love stories—and lots of laughs. Whether you were a teenager in the '80s, like Ree Drummond was, or you've just learned to appreciate this awesome decade of movie-making, you're going to love the picks on this list.
This collection of the top '80s movies sums up all of our favorite things from the decade—and we aren't just talking about leg warmers and perms. You'll see Molly Ringwald falling for the rich kid (and Molly Ringwald playing the rich kid). Kevin Bacon and Patrick Swayze will inspire you to learn how to dance. You'll get to spend the day with Ferris Bueller—sorry, Matthew Broderick. You'll see Maverick saving the country and the Ghostbusters saving New York, and you'll root for the Karate Kid as he defeats the bullies and gets the girl. (I mean, didn't we all want to be Elisabeth Shue, or at least dress like her?)
