I never spent much time watching movies back then. We spent the majority of our time outside doing shite. Most of my free time indoors was spent reading and listening to music.
Now as an adult you spend your days on message boards. Seems like you have time to watch those 80's classics you missed as a child.

Mean Girls. Being in high school in the early 2000s was the tits.
Mean Girls and Superbad both did a good job at capturing the era

Umm.. how could you not include: The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles and Weird Science.. all 3 were about kids in HS in the 80s.
This confusion results from the two different ways that the oldest GenXers and oldest Millennials experienced the decade. I was a teenager and would throw out Fast Times or Scarface while Millennials are going to remember through the lens of Goonies, ET etc. I’m sure Baby Boomer’s wistful memories of the 70’s were very different than the way I experienced it as a child.

Gen X is generally those born around 1965-1980. The entire decade of the 80's would squarely fall to Gen Xers and not really any crossover with Millennials.

Goonies
Not a movie, but Stranger Things. I was those kids.

Half the joy people get from movies like The Goonies and E.T. is the nostalgia. It wouldn't be the same thing to watch those films now. Besides, both of them looked dumb to me at the time, and that hasn't changed.

Nostalgia always plays a part, but I remember coming back from watching Goonies and going to my grandparents and spent hours looking for secret passages at their house. Goonies is a classic.

All of these movies from the 80s and no one has mentioned Heathers. I have the sads.
