With that in mind, when I offered to watch my faves with my two youngest children, I feared they would view them with similar disdain.īoy, was I wrong and glad to be so. After all, if my father had ever sat down to watch a movie with me during the 80s and busted out some black and white movie from the early 1950s, then, well, no offense to classic movie lovers, but that’s a hard pass. Simply put, I watch a LOT of 80s movies with my children, often several nights each week. When we first started, I wasn’t sure how they would take them. Therefore, it’s understandable that I have a lot to say about my beloved childhood films, and even more obvious is the fact that I love to share those experiences with my kids. I watched a fully rounded metric buttload (2.205 times larger than a SAE buttload) of movies as a kid, and as stated above, the 80s encompassed more than half of my childhood. That stated, get comfortable, because there’s a lot of ground to cover when it comes to 80s flicks. Disclaimer: I was 5 (and a half) in 1980 and 14 (and a half) when we rang in the new year in 1990.
