why are they so well liked? Movies from the 1980's are known for their adventurous themes and their relatable plots. They're easy to watch again and again because they are fun stories that everyone wants to relive. Movies like the Goonies and Ferris Bueller's Day Off made kids want to be more adventurous, and gave them a sense of freedom. Movies like The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink were relatable to all teens of the era because the characters didn't have overly perfected lives. This gave kids a sense of belonging. It's said that these movies have such a freeing feel because the people that wrote and directed them grew up in earlier times of war. Focusing away from their harsh times, they wanted to put out adventurous franchises for all ages like Back to The Future or Indiana Jones, but they also put out movies like Dead Poets Society to give kids just a little perspective on what their lives may have been like if they were born just a few decades earlier.
