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.

Although over 20 years old now, these films still bring as much joy to the audiences today as they did the first time around and are still firm favorites.

Why not try out these 5 which are amongst my personal favorites. You have nothing to lose and a great nights entertainment to gain.

First of all I want to take you to Chicago and introduce you to the cult classic Adventures in Babysitting. Starring a young Elisabeth Shue, this was a smash hit in it’s time and is still a great movie.

There have been some great sports comedies made over the years, but Major League is one of the funniest ever in my opinion. It was so successful that 2 sequels were made.

Even if you haven’t seen the Breakfast Club, chances are that you will have heard of it. It is one of the best known movies of the 1980′s and its story is still relevant today. If you only see one of these 5 movies, make it this one.

Although a major star now, in the 1980′s Matthew Broderick was just starting out, and his first major role was in the extremely funny Ferris Bueller’s day off. The tale of a kid, his girlfriend and buddy skipping school for a day in the big city was a huge hit at the time and is still a great laugh.

A great action movie that for me has never been surpassed is the fabulous Die Hard. What else could you want from a leading man than the charismatic Bruce Willis? It’s a testimony to the brilliance of this film that the latest sequel only came out in the last few years. Two hours of pure action packed entertainment.
