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

Year: 1988

Why you should show it: It's silly. It's whimsical. It features the most classic dinner party scene, probably ever. And then there's Winona Ryder (no '80s movie list would be complete without a Winona movie — Mermaids, anyone?).

What to watch out for: It is a bit scary at times, but nothing bigger kids can't handle.
