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

Year: 1987

Why you should show it: Just like the little boy in the movie, my boys put up a fight about seeing this "princess" movie when I turned it on one night — and then they stayed up an hour past their bedtime to see the ending. With its unique storytelling technique, sweet story, and quotes that can pretty much explain life, this is sure to become one of your kids' favorites.

What to watch out for: Nothing. It is beyond safe for every age group.
