The Best '80s Movies to Pair With An Ice-Cold New Coke
Cue: Ferris Bueller’s “Oh... Yeah” track. Hop in, we’re heading back to the future.
Despite their now retro feel, the '80s have always maintained a sense of futurism to them. Dripping in chrome and neon, the decade welcomed a peak for New Wave culture and technological advancements galore. Even the decade’s objectively obsolete trends have an innovative spirit to them. (Sure, you laugh at leg warmers now, both those were a fashion statement and a practical purchase.)
With all of this risk-taking and rebelling, the '80s also welcomed a vibrant energy of invention in its cinema. The decade ushered in something of a John Hughes-esque “coming of age” for the film industry as a whole, welcoming in next-level special effects, soundtracks, stories, and style. So, make sure your blow dryer’s unplugged and cozy up to one of these classic '80s flicks.
Chicka-chickahhhh.
Step into your DeLoran and go back to a decade of John Hughes.
