Monica’s 20 favorite 80’s movies to watch during quarantine

When 2020 came roaring in, we were greeted with a new decade and full of big expectations!  Little did we know, 2020 would bring a deadly virus, quarantine at home and panic buying!  If anybody told me in December 2019 that all this would be happening, I would have laughed in their face!  Then, there would be egg all over mine!  So, with so many things uncertain and in the air is the re-opening of businesses.  Not till May 1st though.

While in quarantine, you’ve snacked, you’ve done video workouts (kinda like the Jane Fonda or Richard Simmons workouts of the 80’s) and we’ve blown through our watch que on Netflix, Hulu, Disney + or Amazon Prime.  What to watch now?  Why not search for those classic 80’s movies…you know, those GREAT & ICONIC movies that Hollywood keeps remaking or rebooting these days?

This brought me to my favorite 80’s movies…so many!  I’m going to have to narrow it down!  Ugh, this was so hard!!!

20. Let’s start with this sci-fi classic, D.A.R.Y.L, remember this one?

19.  Big

18.  Rain Man

17. Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

16. Revenge of the Nerds
