9 Times 80s Movies Taught Us Important Life Lessons

By Emma Sheedy
The 80s were the best decade for movies ever, and we all knew that. But 80s movies did more than just provide entertainment. I could just be speaking for myself, but I learned some of the greatest life lessons from my favorite 80s movies.1. Life is too short to not have fun. Ferris Bueller taught us that sometimes you have to let loose a bit and have fun. Throughout the movie he shows this by doing irresponsible and spontaneous things, which in the end shows his anxious friend, Cameron, it was exactly what he needed. When I was growing

It all started with Encino Man, but our obsession with his movies would only grow and grow over the next few years.It seemed like he was in every movie, playing the hunky yet funny star of all the greatest action adventures and comedies from our younger years. But suddenly, his career seemed to get a little bit out of control. The quality of the movies wasn't up to snuff. There were no more hits like George of the Jungle or The Mummy, instead we

10 Things You Miss From Your Childhood, Even Though You Pretend Not To

By Meg
Y'know those things we all loved in the 90s but pretend to hate? We don't really hate them. It just seems like something we have to say when we're talking to everyone else about "how lame" everything was and how things are better now. Well LISTEN UP. They are not better. Things now are dumb and confusing and all around not cool. Do I sound like a cranky old lady when I say this? Yes. Do I care? Not even a little bit. Maybe it's because all the things we do or have now relate to being an adult, but

Celebrate Friday The 13th At Camp Crystal Lake By Spending The Night And (Probably) Not Dying

By Devin
There's another Friday the 13th (the date, not the movie) coming up in April, so it's time to start planning how to celebrate the second spookiest day of the year. Luckily, Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco has the perfect solution.The New Jersey campground was the setting for "Camp Crystal Lake" in the original 1980 Friday the 13th. Unfortunately, since it's still an active Boy Scout camp, it's normally closed to the public (which does include hockey-mask-wearing, machete-wielding slashers). However, the New Jersey Council of the BSA have started occasionally offering horror fans guided tours as a fundraiser for the camp. Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco

Growing up in the 80s meant that you got to experience some of the greatest music, shows, and movies that have ever been made. Yes, obviously great stuff is still being made, but the 80s really was one-of-a-kind.

Drew Barrymore's Oldest Daughter Honestly Looks Like Her Twin

By Moojan
There's nothing more special to a mother than her children. I think a big part of that is because mothers see so much of themselves in their kids. My mother and I always get mistaken for being sisters, even though we have a 20-year age difference. One time we swapped faces on a mobile app and the image didn't even change! Not all mother-daughters are like this, but there are many cases where you know a daughter is going to look just like their mother when they grow up. Sometimes they already do...upsocl42-year-old actress Drew Barrymore gave birth to

By Tanya
Watching TV when you were little was always a big treat. When we were kids, there wasn't a screen in every room or in your pocket on your phone. You had to fight for that remote to be able to watch your favorite show. It turned out that the best way to get your siblings to agree on what to watch was often to pick something that tried to have a little something for everyone. So what was better than a variety show? Our parents could tolerate them, and us kids loved them! There were so many goofy skits, great
