People often overlook 80s movies, but I'm here to tell you that they are some of the most amazing movies you'll ever watch. Sure, they can be cheesy, but isn't that kind of the point?

So, for your own good, take the time to watch these movies and know that there are so many more not listed below.
1. Can't Buy Me Love
This is one of my all time favorite movies. The message behind the movie is incredible and I strongly believe that every teenager needs to watch this at some point in their life. It will definitely make you laugh, and you'll end up wishing you had a love story like Cindy Mancini and Ronald Miller. Added bonus: young Patrick Dempsey is the main character... ladies, you can't not watch this movie.
2. The Breakfast Club
This movie basically describes what it's like to be a teenager in high school, so, for all of you high school kids out there, you'd better watch this. It'll definitely make you laugh, and maybe even cry a little bit. And you'll finally understand where a lot of quotes that our parents say come from.
3. Ferris Beuller's Day Off
If you really want to laugh, then you have got to watch this movie asap. This movie is perfect to watch when you're stuck sitting on the couch surrounded by cough medicine and endless amounts of crumpled up tissues.
4. Dirty Dancing
You'll have the time of your life watching this move. This is one of those cheesy, "I want that," kind of movies that just makes you feel good. Though it may not be as humorous as some movies, it's definitely one that I recommend to watch. The overall story line portrays multiple good and relatable messages. And, another added bonus: Patrick Swayze.... that's all I'm going to say.
5. Adventures in Babysitting
Were your plans ruined? Well, so were the main characters from this movie. It is filled with humor and puns that will definitely make you laugh. It's a movie that I highly recommend after a stressful day.
6. The Goonies
Craving a sense of adventure but don't want to leave the safety of the couch? Then this movie is perfect for you. It's filled to the brim with hilarious scenes, jokes, and even some crude humor. This has been one of my favorites since I was a kid, and I used to watch it every time that I was home sick from school.
7. The Karate Kid
Wax on, wax off. Wax on, wax off... Sound familiar? Along with some pretty awesome martial arts, the main character is adorable, which only adds to the quality of this movie. There is a lot of meaning behind the plot and there are definitely some relatable scenes.
