11 Classic Movies That Are A Must For The New Year

In This Article:

There are two types of people in our generation. Those who see a publish date before the 2000s and refuse to watch it, and those who take the chances and throw it on. I've seen my share of good and bad films both new and old, but most of my all-time favorites are movies from a few decades ago, and I highly recommend you try them out.

1. "Animal House" (1978)

When I saw this for the first time, I realized "Animal House" portrays college exactly how I imagined it growing up. It takes so many funny turns, and it's truly one of a kind.

2. "Halloween" (1978)

Scary movies have been in a downward spiral, especially the ones we've grown up with. Halloween is the classic slashing thriller, which will send chills down your spine the entire time.

3. "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" (1975) 

This cult movie is truly legendary. If you can find a theater that's doing a showing of it, you really need to go. Fans come from all over, dress the parts and know the words to every song. Even though the film itself is odd, the experience is like nothing else.

4. "Grease" (1978)

Well, duh. If you haven't seen this my heart is shattered until you fix your mistake.

5. "Saturday Night Fever" (1977) 

Another John Travolta classic, but less hyped up than some of his other classics, like "Grease." Still, it's a feel-good, music-filled drama that is a must see.

6. "When Harry Met Sally" (1989)

Somehow, I just saw this for the first time the other day. It's a romance filled, entertaining story about two polar opposite individuals who are trying to figure out what true love is. Funny and relatable.

7. "Sixteen Candles" (1984) 

Another well known one, but it's one of the only movies I can watch on repeat. Molly Ringwald brings us all back to our cringey teenage years, and you fall in love with the characters more and more throughout the movie.

8. "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (1986) 

If you haven't seen this, do yourself a favor and cancel all plans and watch it immediately.

9. "The Shining" (1980)

Jack Nicholson will scare you straight in this classic psychological thriller. It gets better every time I watch it.

10. "Silence of the Lambs" (1991)

Anthony Hopkins and Johnathan Demme do not fail to impress, and keep you on the edge of your seat the entire film. It's one of the most intense movies I've ever seen, and no horror film of our time can compare.

11. "The Breakfast Club" (1985) 

I wasn't going to put this on here, because duh x100. One of the best feel good, diverse character movies that makes you fall in love with each character for such different reasons. One of the best of all time.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
