There are 5 movies that I watched as a young teen and even now I would be happy to watch over and over again - I cannot wait until my kids are a little older so I have an excuse to watch them all over again. I could not decide on what order to place them in - so in no particular order the five movies I would recommend everyone watch are:
The Goonies - an American adventure-comedy film from 1985 directed by Richard Donner. The screenplay was written by Chris Columbus from a story by executive producer Steven Spielberg. A band of kids from the "Goon Docks" neighbourhood of Astoria, Oregon, hope to save their homes from demolition for the expanding Astoria Country Club, set off on an adventure to find the buried treasure of One-Eyed Willy, a legendary 17th-century pirate after finding a map in the attic. Stars Sean Astin and Corey Feldman in a fun filled action packed movie about friendship, first kisses, adventure, gadgets, crooks, pirates and treasure.
Gremlins - Billy (Zach Galligan), receives a small furry creature called a Mogwai as a Christmas present from his grandfather with three instructions to follow: 1. Never expose the Mogwai to bright lights, 2. Never put it in water and 3. Never feed it after midnight. Billy names his Mogwai 'Gizmo'. Billy and Gizmo bond, but Billy's friend Pete accidentally spills a glass of water over Gizmo, causing five more Mogwai to spawn. These five turn out to be a little more mischievous. They manage to trick Billy into feeding them after midnight and it is not long before chaos erupts in the small town of Kingston Falls.
Back To The Future - An American science fiction adventure comedy film from Steven Spielberg released in 1985 starring Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd. Film tells the story of Marty McFly, a teenager accidentally sent back in time from 1985 to 1955. He bumps into his parents in high school and accidentally attracts his mother's romantic interest. Marty must repair the damage to history by causing his parents to fall in love, whilst finding a way to return to 1985.
Lost Boys - is a 1987 American horror film about two brothers from Arizona who move to California and end up fighting a group of teenage vampires. It stars Jason Patric, Corey Haim and Kiefer Sutherland, with co-stars Jami Gertz, Corey Feldman, Dianne West, Edward Herrmann, Alex Winter, Jamison Newlander and Barnard Hughes. The film was directed by Joel Schumacher and has to be one of the best vampire movies ever produced with the coolest soundtrack.
Ghostbusters - is a 1984 American comedy film written by co-stars Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis about three eccentric New York City parapsychologists-turned-ghost exterminators. After losing their jobs at Columbia University, a trio of misfit parapsychologists: Peter Venkman, Raymond Stantz and Egon Spengler start their own paranormal exterminator service called 'Ghostbusters'. They operate out of an abandoned fire station and get off to a slow start..."Who you gonna call?"
Confession time: I still have my 'Gizmo' from the 80's! But The 'Goonies' is probably my favourite of the 5 if I had to choose.
