80s movies for family viewing

Has Cannonball Run been mentioned yet?

The scene with Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jnr dressed as priests in a bar, and having their conversation overhead, is brilliant.

Roger Moore playing up to the stereotype as well, it's a funny film. 😄

How are we defining 80s movies as a genre and how are we categorising family films? Because obviously he needs to watch Akira which came out in the 1980s, but I wouldn't class it as an '80s film' and it might be best for him to discover on his own when he's a bit older.

But if he's into video games, especially any Japanese RPGs, then he really really needs to watch Akira.

Blues Brothers

Blues brothers (for the swearing/nun)

The Blues Brothers may have been released in 1980 but it's totally a 70s movie.

Hard to argue with that.
It's also better on a Friday night after a few pints and a kebab ... but not if you're 11.
