Well, let me tell ya, the ’80s was somethin’ else, wasn’t it? Back then, folks was sittin’ around the TV, watchin’ movies, and everythin’ seemed bigger, louder, and more colorful. You remember them big ol’ VHS tapes, don’t ya? Now, if you wasn’t watchin’ some fancy new release at the movie theater, you was probably watchin’ somethin’ on a little box in your living room, popcorn and all. I reckon you could talk all day about the good ol’ movies from that time! So, if you think you know them ’80s movies, here’s a little trivia to test ya. Let’s see if you got your facts straight, or if you’ve been watchin’ too much TV and not enough listenin’ to folks like me!
1. What was the last movie alphabetically in 1980?
Now, don’t be cheatin’! The last movie alphabetically in 1980 was “Xanadu”, and it starred Olivia Newton-John. The film was somethin’ of a musical fantasy, but you know, it wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Still, folks remember that roller disco scene, don’t they?
2. Who you gonna call?
Well, you know the answer to this one, don’t ya? Ghostbusters! Now, who didn’t love that movie? It had it all, didn’t it? Ghosts, gadgets, and those hilarious guys like Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd. It was a comedy, sure, but it scared ya good too! The quote “Who you gonna call?” still gets tossed around today, even if it’s just when somebody spills somethin’ on the floor!
3. The Big E.T. Question
Ah, E.T., the extraterrestrial. I reckon every kid wanted to have a big ol’ alien in their backyard after watchin’ that movie! But here’s the trivia: what was the famous line from E.T.? It wasn’t too hard to figure out – “E.T. phone home.” That little fella just wanted to call his mama! Ain’t that somethin’?
4. Let’s talk about the soundtracks
Now, y’all can’t talk ’bout ’80s movies without mentionin’ the music. Them soundtracks was just as iconic as the movies themselves! Take “Footloose”, for instance. That theme song still gets folks up and dancin’ at family gatherings. Ain’t nobody too old to cut a rug, right? You could turn on that tune, and folks would be kickin’ up their heels, like it was still 1984.
5. The Action Heroes
Now, if you was watchin’ action movies, you couldn’t miss the big ol’ tough guys like Arnold Schwarzenegger in “The Terminator.” You remember that line, don’t you? “I’ll be back.” Well, he sure was, over and over again. And then there was Bruce Willis in “Die Hard.” Ain’t no Christmas without that movie, they say. But it wasn’t just about the action, no sir! They had them one-liners that you couldn’t forget.
6. The Teen Comedies
Oh, and don’t get me started on them teen comedies! Everybody loved a good laugh in the ’80s, and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” was right up there with the best. Now, you know what Bueller’s day off was all about—skipping school and just livin’ the good life. But the question is, who played Ferris? It was the ever-lovable Matthew Broderick.
7. A Hero Named Indiana
If you didn’t know Indiana Jones, well, I’m afraid you missed out on one of the best adventure films of all time. Raiders of the Lost Ark? A classic! That whip-crackin’ hero had us all on the edge of our seats, and the good ol’ Harrison Ford made sure of it. Ain’t nobody else could pull off that look like he could!
8. The Police Academy Movies
And of course, we can’t forget ’bout Police Academy. That was a whole franchise that gave us a whole lotta laughs! Remember all them goofy characters like Steve Guttenberg’s character, Carey Mahoney? I reckon that series went on for about six sequels, didn’t it? It wasn’t just about law and order, it was about makin’ folks laugh ’til their bellies hurt!
9. The Horror Movies
And now, if you liked to be scared, the ’80s had some real good stuff. Like “Friday the 13th” with ol’ Jason, and “A Nightmare on Elm Street” with Freddy Krueger. Folks loved to get scared, but they’d still go back for more. You know, there’s somethin’ about watchin’ a movie where you know you’re gonna jump outta your seat but can’t help yourself. Like a scary fun rollercoaster ride!
10. The Ending of It All

Some of these movies defined a whole generation, and you could just watch ’em over and over again, like they was old friends. I reckon folks still quote lines from these movies to this day, don’t they?
