14 '80s Movies You NEED to Show Your Kids Today (and Not a Disney Movie in Sight)

Year: 1986

Why you should show it: Is there a single adult out there who doesn't still love Ferris Bueller? The most popular boy in school, his hot girlfriend, and his downtrodden best friend make for the greatest "squad" of all time. There are both funny and sentimental scenes, classic lines ("Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it!"), and enough life lessons to last, well, a lifetime.

What to watch out for: Definitely better suited for the tweens and teens in your home, the rebellious film — and the police station scene with Jennifer Gray and Charlie Sheen — features themes that are definitely mature.
