10 Of The Best Movies From The 80's

I think we all can agree that some of the best movies came from the 80’s. Here’s a list of all my favorites. If you haven’t seen them, watch them immediately.

1. The Breakfast Club (1985)

I don’t know a single person who HASN’T seen this movie. But if you’re the exception to that, watch it immediately. It’s funny and sad, but it’s got an iconic ending. Also, the cast is amazing. Molly Ringwald is iconic.

2. Pretty In Pink (1986)

I have no regrets about listing a second Molly Ringwald movie. She’s such an amazing actress. I love her so much.

3. Dirty Dancing (1987)

Everyone loves a good love story. Baby and Johnny’s forbidden love gives the movies a Romeo and Juliet vibe, without the suicide.

4. Top Gun (1986)

Two words: Tom Cruise

5. Footloose (1984)

I love this movie because it’s a movie about a guy fighting against the system. Ren starts a revolution with Ariel and the gang by his side.

6. Labyrinth (1986)

This one is self explanatory. Also, David Bowie was so amazing in this role.

7. Risky Business (1983)

Oh, Tom Cruise. How I love that man. This is the movie that put Tom Cruise on the map. It also produced the iconic scene where Cruise slides into the room in a dress shirt and underwear.

8. The Outsiders (1983)

I talked about the book in my last article and I usually don’t like movies as much as I liked the book, but I loved this movie. Also, Tom Cruise AND Patrick Swayze are both in it. They’re both amazing. “Stay gold, Ponyboy.”

9. The Shining (1980)

I haven’t seen the last 20 minutes of it, but the majority of it was good. A bit weird, but good.

10. Sixteen Candles (1984)

I started with Molly and I’m ending with Molly.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
