80's movies to watch with your kids

[Road Guy]

This is a family thing we like to do, and as much as I consider myself a movie buff, I always seem to come across movies I like to share with my kids (1 pre teen - 2 teenagers) they usually like them very much..

so consider this a working list:

Better of Dead- we watch before every ski season

Teen Wolf

Back to the Future(s)

Lost Boys

Goonies (duhh)

Alien

Terminator (original never gets much air time on re runs)

Breakfast Club, all the brat pack movies

Last Star fighter (they didn't enjoy as much )

Stand by Me (younger two kids cried at the end)

Vacation movies

The Burbs (starts slow but force your kids to stick with it!)

One Crazy Summer (I cant find this movie for less than $40 bucks) anyone find it for $25 bucks or less please get it (I am good for the $ I promise)

Summer Rental - John Candy - got this from ebay, disc skips but its a great pre beach movie

Great Outdoors - "spin cycle" RIP John Candy RIP

So I am sure there are others lets here them!

Also, we watched Summer Vacation before our road trip and joked constantly about having to tie my mom to the roof of the car.

I could download "One Crazy Summer" for you and host it online somewhere.

Also, have you seen Out Cold? Not an 80's movie but a hilarious snow boarding movie. Not the most family friendly, but still a good watch to get you pumped for the season.

To add to your list above:

Weird Science

16 Candles

Star Wars (originals)

Indiana Jones

Hook

Both Bill & Ted's

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Ghostbusters

The Princess Bride

The Lost Boys

Adventures in Babysitting

Beetlejuice

Mannequin

Both Weekend at Bernie's

Die Hard

Lethal Weapon

The Never Ending Story

Big

Bloodsport (LOL....probably not family friendly)

....and I'm spent.

We've watched The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. Labyrinth brought up a lot of discussion about tightness of pants.
