Growing up, I had no interest in current movies (aside from Disney's last animated classic). I was wrapped up in the pizazz, sparkle and big hair of the 1980's. My movie nights were spent swooning over Emilio Estevez or crying my eyes out over some teen heartbreak. My obsession has only grown as I get older, so here is my top five 1980's movie I think every teen should watch.

1. The Outsiders

Based on the classic S.E. Hinton novel with a star-studded cast, a tale of kids on the wrong side of town. A tale of friendship, brotherhood and growing up without, anyone who knows me this is my favorite book or movie. Starring Rob Lowe, C. Thomas Howell, Ralph Macchio, Emilio Estevez, Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon and Patrick Swayze.

2. The Goonies

Another perfect adventure story, Goonies never say die and that's forever. Sean Astin has a special place in my heart as it is, and this was the beginning of it all. When the two brothers realize they may lose the place they call home, they'll do anything to keep it all.

3. Beetlejuice

Michael Keaton, Alec Baldwin, and Wynonna Ryder come together in Tim Burton's masterpiece involving death, a shotgun wedding and a dysfunctional family

4. Pretty in Pink

Is it really even possible to get through this list without at least one Molly Ringwald film? Pretty in Pink is one of my all times favorite, it's the perfect amount of edge mixed with a high school fairytale

5. Heathers

Another Wynonna Ryder classic! This one isn't for the faint of heart or those who can't handle strong language, but Christian Slater and Queen Wynonna make one heck of a team in the 1989 cult classic.
