80s movies for family viewing

Hmm... Also Sister Act and Coming to America - both *very* funny...

Coming to America is one of my all time favourites, I've lost count of the number of times I've seen it as I watch it nearly everytime it's on.

Even with the odd bit of language it's just the right side of the line for an eleven year old.

My little girl first watched it when she was about ten, and now she's eighteen she still loves it. 😄

Sometimes I Luuuurve Eddie Murphy. But Coming To America ... well, I suspect it's a bit of a marmite thing ...
(but I'm not 11, so a moot point)

I'm not a big fan of American comedy in general, but the three guys in the barbers, and the ott preacher, crack me up everytime.

The scene with the Dukes is a cracker too.

Return of the Living Dead has a great soudtrack, and "comedy" horror.

Slightly more seriously, the Addams Family were 90s, (but a good watch).

An American Werewolf in London... another great comedy horror, and a great transformation scene... maybe save that for when he's 13 though

Good shout, then if you've got Netflix you can get them into Cobra Kai afterwards.

rewatched it the other day and i actually cringe at the fight scenes now , as a kid it was great but after years of training and semi contact matches and then moving onto more combat orientated stuff ( before i had to stop due to an injury ) im thinking how did he win ? apart from the obvious reason

OK it's from the mid 70s not the 80s but what aboout Blazing Saddles - if only for the camp fire scene which any self respecting 11 year old would find funny.

Restless Natives. Bang in the middle of the 80s and with a cracking soundtrack.
