If You Haven't Seen These "Old Movies," You Definitely Should

#1 Beaches (1988)

This late 80s comedic drama covers all of the bases of a lifelong friendship between women, love (including loving the same man), and a young woman pursuing her career in entertainment. It sounds heart-wrenching, and it is, but only in the best way.

#2 Sixteen Candles (1984)

A story about a teen who wakes up on her 16th birthday only to find out it has been completely overshadowed by her sisters upcoming nuptials. It is a mix of hilarious scenes, teen angst, and a crush on the popular high school senior who she is sure is out of her league.

#3 The Breakfast Club (1985)

Unless you have been living under a rock, you have seen this movie, and if you have not seen it, you need to. This is by far one of the best movies to come out in the 80s.

#4 The Great Gatsby (1974)

Robert Redford did give Leo DiCaprio a run for his money when it comes down to their roles in The Great Gatsby from 1974 and it's remake in 2013. If you have not seen this classic, we suggest that you do and read the book while you are at it.

Nothing gets better than The Goonies. The ragtag group of friends head off on a dangerous adventure to find the hidden treasure left behind by pirate One-Eyed Willy in order to save one of the group's home from being foreclosed on by the bank.

#8 Pretty in Pink (1985)

Another Molly Ringwald film that should be watched for the outrageous 80s fashion alone.

#9 Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

Ferris Bueller's Day Off features a young Matthew Broderick as the uncannily smooth and surprisingly inspirational truant Ferris Bueller, for whom countless adventures unfold when he and his friends skip school, usurp a parade float, and more.

#10 Stand By Me (1986)

This classic is bound to tug at your heart strings. A true coming of age movie about a group of friends who go on a hunt for a dead body of a missing boy.

#11 Dirty Dancing (1987)

If you have never seen this movie, you still know one of its famous quotes, "Nobody puts Baby in the corner."

#12 Big (1988)

This heartwarming movie is what made Tom Hanks in to the well sought after actor that he is today. It is a story about a young boy making a wish on an old fortune telling machine that he could just be big, and his wish came true.

If you are not familiar with this iconic fake orgasm scene in the diner, you have been living under a rock, and we suggest you get out and see this movie asap.
