80s Sockbuster Movie Kits!

In a time full of reboots and remakes, we tend to look back on the days when films were truly . . . fun!

And if you’re looking for fun blockbusters, we’ll want to travel back to the 80s! The 1980s, that is

(not the 1880s, things weren’t as fun back then). So many classics emerged from this decade:

The Breakfast Club, Terminator, Aliens, The Shining, Die Hard, Gremlins, The Goonies. . . When we

were putting together these kits, we certainly had A LOT from which to choose.

Back to the Future

What’s cooler than a time traveling Delorean? Not much, to be honest! Robert Zemeckis’

Back to the Future is an absolute classic. Marty McFly goes back in time 30 years and must find

a way back. . . TO THE FUTURE! Now that’s heavy. Good thing he’s got the past version of his pal,

Doc Brown, to help!

Sixteen Candles

Sixteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen Candleeeeeeeeeesssss! It’s hard to think of a time when

Facebook wasn’t around to send birthday reminders! If that were the case, Samantha Baker

just might’ve had a happier day! But if you thought Back to the Future had some crazy time

travel, just watch this one. Okay, so it doesn’t *literally* have time travel, but Sixteen Candles

absolutely serves as a reminder as to what the 80s were like and the type of humor that was around

at the time. Let’s face it, this movie is not a squeaky-clean, family film. But if you’re wishing for

some 80’s nostalgia, then Sixteen Candles might just take the cake.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

“Life moves pretty fast, if you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

So true Ferris, so very true. But maybe Ferris is stopping to look around. . . too much. Just this

semester alone, he's skipped school niiiiiiine tiiiiimeeees. But audiences everywhere were

elated when we got to tag along with Ferris, Sloane, and Cameron on what is, unquestionably,

the greatest playing of hookie of all time. I think Ferris Bueller did more in one day than many

of us could’ve done in a week. How? He’s Ferris *freakin* Bueller, that’s how!

What's your favorite movie from the 80s??
