Flashdance
Footloose
Tremors

 

[Beebo]

Top Gun

It has quite a racy sex scene that will need fast forwarding.

Over the Top.
it’s a child friendly Stallone film about arm wrestling.

Oh no, I would love to be a fly on the wall when that scene comes on with an 11yo watching it with his mum. It's not that bad but I would love to know who was cringing the most. And it does come straight after the very homoerotic beach volleyball game.

Top Gun is a truly, truly awful film but an 11yo might like it.

I’ve tried my older teenagers on some of my favourite ‘80’s films and you forget how slow they are.

I tried to get my kids to watch the original superman with Christopher Reeve.
It was so slow. I quite enjoyed it but they didn’t last 30 mins.
