If you've seen your fair share of '80s movies, there's no denying they have a sense of magic to them. Maybe it's because they give us a taste of simplicity or maybe just hope. Either way, they are undeniably unlike any other decade of movies.
These movies taught us valuable lessons on life while disguising them in a fun and adventurous script.
This is something I feel like we do not get much of in today's movies. "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" taught us that life is short and living spontaneously is good for us. "The Breakfast Club" taught us to listen to other peoples' stories whom you would often choose to ignore and that we're all a little weird.
Besides the many life lessons we gain from these films, we root for the too good to be true romances and situations that come along with them.
We get to see the story fall together perfectly (whilst set to a bomb soundtrack). I think, whether we want to admit it or not, we relate to characters in these movies and see ourselves in them. There is a sense of authenticity displayed in these movies. These movies give everyone a chance and they leave us with a feeling of true happiness.
These movies were things of their own. There were many directors that were at their peaks of creating great works. Their plots were unique and the characters, like I mentioned above, were relatable.
Everyone found a way to fit into the movie.
Films from the '80s give off a sense of nostalgia, which even I feel (I'm not sure how this is possible, considering I was not even living at this time). They make me wish for a time like the '80s. No constant cellphones and the clothes were pretty cute too.
'80s movies were simply magical. I end this article with a John Bender fist to the air.
