Classic Movies From the 1980s That Earn Must Watch Status

A lot of people make derisory comments about the 1980's and knock the fashions, hairstyles etc. But you can't deny it was a decade that produced some great movies.

It recently occurred to me that many of the younger generation will never have seen many of these films. If you are younger than the mid twenties, you really should get the chance to see these great movies.

These movies still stand out today and their influences can be heavily seen in today's cinema. They are still great to watch today, nearly 30 years later.

Let's cut to the chase, these are 5 movies which I have loved since I first saw them. Give them a try yourself to see what I'm talking about.

A little movie which gained a huge cult following is set in Chicago, stars Christina Applegate among others, and is called Adventures in Babysitting. This is a great romp and is still very funny.

If you enjoy a good sports comedy, then Major League will suit you down to the ground. It was a big hit and two sequels followed. Neither sequel was as good as the first, but the original Major League was an absolute classic. With great acting from Charlie Sheen, Jake Berenger, and Ed Harris, this was both gripping and hilarious.

A truly iconic movie from the 1980's in the Breakfast Club. Starring many of the young stars of that era including Molly Ringwald, you will probably have heard of it even if you haven't gotten around to seeing it yet. This is a movie that really deserves the title 'classic' and so many people who grew up in that era still relate to this movie to this day.

A massive box office hit that every kid related to at the time was Ferris Bueller's Day Off. This is the tale of the kid who skipped school to take his buddy and girlfriend on a trip to Chicago. Every kid wanted to be Ferris Bueller and have the guts to do that for a day. If you have somehow missed out on seeing this, make the effort to see this cinematic treat.

Two hours of action and shoot em ups shouldn't make great cinema, but when the leading man is Bruce Willis in THAT vest, you will see why Die Hard was, and is, one of the greatest action movies of all time. They are still producing sequels to this these days, but for me, this is still the best.

Another area that Mark commonly writes about is the stainless steel utility cart. With so many rolling and wheeled utility carts on the market, choosing the best one can be a challenge and http://stainlesssteelutilitycart.com addresses this very point.
