Btw, at 17:38 it is actually Damon Wayans jr (his son), not Damon Wayans, so sorry for that mistake! 😭 (thank you to those who brought that to my attention!)
I apologize in advance if I pronounce any names weirdly or entirely wrong. I tried not to mess up names, but I’m not perfect, and slip ups can happen! 😅

Don’t apologize, it’s not easy to
pronounce names you aren’t privy to on the daily. I think you did an awesome job.
I recently discovered your channel (a week or more ago) and I cannot express enough how much joy your content has brought me. I am going to share your content with my kids and their friends because they are obsessed with the 80’s and I’m all out of stories.
@@nickles7112 Thank you! Aww, I'm so glad to hear you enjoy my content and are kind enough to share it, that means so much to me!! 🤗💜✨
My family owned a VHS copy of The Heavenly Kid growing up, and I later found out that no one else has ever heard of this movie.
That's so awesome! It's a great movie and its sucks that not more people have heard/seen it, just got lost in time. That's why it had to be in this vid 😂
My sister taped it off HBO. I remember watching it over and over again. Recently found it on Roku (I think), and got totally stuck on it for about a week. LOL
Heavenly Kid was very popular when I was a kid,very well known movie IMO
I see this as a sign to have a 80'a movie night 🥰
Also, yes! Please do the 80's horror movies 🖤
Haha, hope you enjoy some of these films!! 🤗 (And, that 80s horror vid is coming today if you happen to see this before it drops!👀)
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. I was born in 1980, so the 80’s and 90’s are so nostalgic for me! Like this was my childhood and I seriously go into my happy place anytime I am taken back down memory lane! ❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing this! The Legend of Billie Jean is a GEM 💎
Awww, thank you! 💜 And, I'm so glad that you have such fond memories and nostalgia for that time! ✨✨I hear such good things about the Legend of Billie Jean, I'll watch it soon btw! 😁
I haven't heard of most of these movies, but now I am so excited to give them a try! I'm always down for any new 80s movie I haven't seen. Also, any movie that uses Broken Wings by Mister Mister is going to go straight to my watch list.
You also need to give Legend of Billie Jean a go, it is the DEFINITION of camp!
Iconic video as always
Thank you so much!😭😭 I'm actually surpised you havent heard about most of these Avery! I'm super excited for you to see some of them!!😁🙌🏻✨ (omg going to go watch the legend of billie jean rn!)
Another banger of a video! I love how all of these are actually hidden gems haven't heard of
Thank you so much!💜 Yes, these are definitely ones that are hardly mentioned! Super excited for you to see any of them that caught your interest !
You really need to check out the movie The last American Virgin it came out in 1982 its seriously a must watch if you haven't seen it yet, its just like Fast times at Ridgemont High but better and has an amazing soundtrack, hope you watch it.
I've definitely heard about The Last American Virgin! I wasn't blown away with Fast times at Ridgemont High, so maybe The Last American Virgin will do it for me - I'll take your word for it, thanks! 😂
Ooh, this is so cool! Love your picks and I even discovered a few I need to watch. Some of the movie clips you used also had me cracking up 🤣. Your editing style is everything! ✨
Omg, thank you for the compliment!😭😭 I hope you get around to watching a few that interest you! 😁✨
I found "Night of the Comet" on your Letterbox earlier this year and I'm so glad I did! Such a great movie. Now it's easily one of my faves. ♥✨
Wow, so glad to hear that! 😱😱✨✨
I love your videos, love your channel and love that you love the '80s!! Thank you so much for putting together this list. There were a few movies you mentioned here that I somehow missed during childhood in the '80s that I'll have to go back and watch now. Really hope to see your favorite '80s horror movies in your next vid!
Thank you very much, I'm so glad you like my content! Super excited for you to see some of these films! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 (yes! my horror movie vid is gonna be posted today if you happen to see this before it drops!)
Love this!! I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s and some of these movies were a total blast from the past! 💖
Wow! So glad to hear that! 💜💜✨✨
For most of my youth I watch any movie on tv made in the 80s, i to love the 80s and there are sooo many underrated films!! youre so right about that.. I really love your content!
So glad to hear you love 80s movies, and yes, there are many, many underrated 80s films out there!😭 Thank you so much for loving my content! 💜
You should watch the film “Just One of the Guys (1985)” I think it’s super underrated, it’s my favorite 80s film! 📼💗
I've seen the film and I absolutely love it!
One of my all-time faves!
Joyce Heyser/Heiser ("Valley Girl" (Nicholas Cage, Deborah Foreman ("My Chauffeur," "April Fool's Day," "Real Genius" with Val Kilmer ("Top Gun," "Top Gun: Maverick," "The Doors," "Top Secret"), singer/actress, E.G. Daily ("Pee Wee's Big Adventure") and the "Hollywood Knights" (with Tony Danza from "Taxi," a 1970's ensemble cast sitcom; Fran Drescher ("The Nanny" sitcom), Robert Wuhl (filmmaker Tim Burton's "Batman" and "Bull Durham"). (credit: IMDB)
I love this list! Modern Girls is my all time favorite 80s movie. I'm so glad there are a couple on here I haven't seen yet, excited to get to them!
Heck yeah, another Modern Girls fan! 🙌🏻 And thank you! I'm so excited for you to see some of these films!!
I just recently rewatched Howard and man I don't know what or why I like it so much as kid
Refreshing list. I was expecting more cliché films listed but you actually gave me some ones I have never seen. Will be looking into them.
Thank you! I was pretty tired of lists with the same films, so throwing ones that maybe someone hasn't heard about was my goal and much more fun!
I’m going to watch these all! I have been looking for more 80s movies to watch:))
Yay! I'm so excited for you to see some of these movie Kami! 😁✨
You went down the obscure rabbit hole for a few of these. Good research too. The people need to know about Vibes. Earth Girls are Easy is the primmest cut of what L.A. in the 80s was.
Indeed I did 😂 Thank you for enjoying my video and picks! Yes! More people need to know about Vibes 🤗 Earth Girls are Easy has wonderful visuals, I'm glad to hear they captured that time in L.A. perfectly.
Cool list!
I grew up with The Heavenly Kid. Always enjoyed it & yea awesome soundtrack. I managed to turn it on to a few friends but oh man It Takes Two (88) no one takes about this film. I first saw it late one night on tv & loved it. Again great soundtrack & idk there’s just something about this film. I might be it feels a bit dream like in a few places & sports car. Boys & there toys. A unseen 80’s gem for me is Spellbinder 1988 with Kelly Preston if you get the chance. Cheers
This was great! Thanks for sharing YOUR top 9 underrated 80s movies. I felt like I learned a lot. Some of the movies you mentioned, I've actually seen like Modern Girls, and I agree it's awesome!
Thank you so much, glad to hear you really enjoyed the video!🙌🏻 Yes, Modern Girls is wonderful, so hard to dislike!
@@turnbacktothe80s you're very welcome!! I really enjoy your videos. I especially love seeing your animated self in the Jem art style!!🥰💜
And yes, Modern Girls is very hard to dislike!!😁
at 17:38 that is actually damon wayans jr.!! i almost flipped out because i was like "there's no way he's that old!!" hahahaha
amazing video! i never heard of any of these movies and i can't wait to check them out. thank you for sharing :D
Oh gosh, darn it! Can't believe I used the wrong pic😱😱Haha, thank gosh you caught that! And thank you, excited for you to see some of these movies!
This review is amazing - thank you!
Sometimes I don't get the notifications about your newest videos. But as a fan I always check from time to time if anything new had dropped ❤
Darn you UA-cam!😭😭 Haha! Aww thank you Nancy! 💜✨(psst, new vid today if you happen to see this before it drops!👀)
Wow Beastmaster was on HBO regularly in the late 1980s. Great fantasy movie.
I LOVE THE 80S! I WISH I WAS BORN IN THE 80S! It seems so free and exciting
Totally agree! 😭✨
It was AMAZING ❤
The 80s were filled with "One Magic Night" movies with varying budgets. You could do a whole post on just this plot alone. They were usually fun because if you did not like the situation it would change in about five minutes. They were also filled with supernatural themes like The Heavenly Kid, and I suggest you watch "Date With an Angel" (1987) with Phoebe Cates, Michael E. Knight & Emmanuelle Béart.
Great list. Thank you.
Love this AND love your channel. The style, editing, content - everything about it is perfection! Just subscribed and binged all your videos. Can’t wait to see future content. I’m especially looking forward to your 80s horror list. BTW, just FYI - that pic is actually Damon Wayans, Jr. (his son). 😊
I can't believe I used the wrong picture of Damon Wayans and instead used his sons photo! Thank you for also being the other person to bring that to my attention! 😭
And, thank you so much for enjoying my content, very happy to hear that!💜✨ (psst, the 80s horror list is coming out today if you happen to see this before it drops!👀)
@@turnbacktothe80s Thank YOU for creating such awesome content! 😘
You're giving me Lucy from Degrassi High vibes!! 💛
Love your time !! Thank you 😊
One movie I recommend that I never hear anyone talk about is My Best Friend Is A Vampire. Plotwise I'd say it's like Fright Night, not as good but enjoyable. Another interesting plot point is the parents in the movie are ready to accept their son as they think he's gay, no slurs thrown or anything, which is something for the time.
I swear I've heard of My Best Friend Is A Vampire, adding that to my Watchlist and I'll definitely give it a go when I can, thank you! Oh, thank gosh, an 80s movies without the gay slurs 🤣
Holy crow, I just noticed: the actress who played love interest in _The Heavenly Kid_ also played the mom from _Malcolm in the Middle!_
Love Earth Girls Are Easy! It's also free to see on UA-cam. I'll have to check out your other recommendations!
Yes, such a great film, so glad to see its on UA-cam for others to watch! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Super excited for you to see some of the movies that interest you!
omg the hair accuracy! I love it!
Thank you!!😁
Love nite of the comet and earth girls are easy. Personally i think “They Live” is one that should be on there. But to me my #1 80’s movie hands down is “Barry Gordy’s The Last Dragon” . Have it on dvd to this day.
In fact im gonna go watch it now.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I love hearing about other peoples picks for underrated films! The Last Dragon is on my watchlist and today might be the day I see it 😂
Good list and GREAT call on Vibes and The Heavenly Kid. I would add Midnight Madness and The Wild Life.
Been wanting to watch the original Quantam Leap since I love Scott Bakula on Star Trek Enterprise. And I've yet to watch The Wonder Years 😔
Speaking of Scott he did a movie/pilot movie for unsold show called "I Man" that seems to only be available on UA-cam!
Ohmygosh, I love Scott Bakula too and you need to start watching the og Quantum Leap, I swear you won't regret it! 🤩 The Wonder Years is only available on Hulu, so I get it! 😭
Woah, I've never heard about that, I'm going to give it a watch, thank you for that info!
Omg I'm early!! I love your vids!!♡♡
Heck yeah! And, aww, hank you so much! 💜😭
My top 10 80s movies
Footloose 1984
The goonies
Dirty Dancing
The outsider's
St Elmo's Fire
The breakfast club
She's having a baby
License to drive
Cocktail
Adventures and babysitting
Bonus Manaquine and 3 men and a little baby
This is such a GOOD list! Glad to see License to Drive and 3 Men and a Baby on there!
@@turnbacktothe80s there's so much more but I'd be here forever lol
Love vibes and totally agree with that one. Have you seen Hiding out or Morgan Stewart's coming home? both are with Jon Cryer
Yes, Vibes is so good! And not yet, they are actually both on my Watchlist, I've been so busy I haven't gotten around to them! 😭
I remember heavenly kid! hadn't seen or heard about it in ages but i remember liking it. I believe last time i saw it was probably mid 90s on TV.
Great content as always...but just 9...but the list is endless as far a genres is concerned...lol. That Major Video commercial jingle sounds like the Blockbuster Video jingle as I recall.
Thank you! If I did more than 9 this video would've taken forever to release, so many good titles, so little time 😂 Major Videos jingle DOES sound like the Blockbusters jingle, I can't believe I didn't notice that.
If you don’t already know about them you should check out “The Night Before” with Keanu reeves, and “tuff turf” with RDJ and James spader, 2 of my “forgotten” 80’s gems👌🏼
AWWW I LOVE YOUR CAT😍😍
OMG THANK YOU AHSJDAKS 😭💜
You should check out Electric Dreams (1984)
I have! I'm a big fan of Lenny Von Dohlen so I had to see it
NEVER apologize for the kitty being in the video ❤❤❤🐱
Fraggle Rock if you watched it in the U.K. or bought the U.K. DVD's the old man and his dog are in a light house. I bought the U.K. DVD's from Ebay and I have a DVD player that plays PAL. Also you can play them on the PC. Also if you rip a DVD you can and encode the files out you can load them on a video game console and maybe another device and it will let you play them on a North America TV.
I have seen or own most of the movies on this list, so 👍👍
And, yes, you need to watch Streets of Fire. The soundtrack alone is worth it, but the film itself rocks.
Omg i feel famous now lol i just clicked on the notification, nice timing to save me from the boredom of my workplace , hope you are doing well!! 💜
I really really want to watch Vibes hope i can find it somewhere online
Haha! Bask in the fame! 😁 Glad this video was able to save you from such awful boredom! Hope you're doing good as well!
@@mikhael4808 If its avaliable where you live (which I hope it is) UA-cam has it for free, if you haven't seen it yet! ua-cam.com/video/eIY6rQ4qAlM/v-deo.html
@@turnbacktothe80s Oh i just checked and it isnt avaiable here :( but im gonna try to find it online! Thank you very much tho!! Hope you are doing well ♡
@@mikhael4808 Aw darn! Hope you find it! 😭Hope you're doing well too!
I don’t know what you talking about. You got to do more like this.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I love your videos very much. ❤️😍
Thank you so much! 😭😭
I'm going to watch all of these films and write my reviews on letterboxd
May I also recommend The All Nighter (Susannah Hoffs, Joan Cusack, Deedee Pfeiffer), River's Edge (Keanu Reeves, Crispin Glover, Ione Skye Leitch, Daniel Roebuck), A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon (River Phoenix, Matthew Perry, Ione Skye Leitch, and Meredith Salenger), and She's Out of Control (Tony Danza, Ami Dolenz, Matthew Perry, Wallace Shawn)? Okay, I think I just planned my Saturday.
"Band of the Hand" was actually a cool movie; "Night of the Comet" (1984) = it is realistic in one way; there are many abandoned shopping malls now (in different spots around the entire continental U.S.). A sad day for shoppers (I blame online shopping: Amazon/(Jeff) Bezos, Netflix (no more Blockbuster Video (rental stores); there are no more Borders Books and Music, Toys "R" Us, Kaybee Toys (and Hobby store), Waldenbooks, Kmart/Sears (Roebuck); MP3's (Metallica music on Napster) or big box stores (Sam's Club, Costco, Walmart), which helped speed the process, of record stores (like Tower Records or Sam Goody's) closing down. "The Fly" horror/drama/sci-fi film starred both: Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum...
YES i love Earth Girls Are Easy! Comedy Central used to show it aaaall the time
Heck yeah! Such a great movie! 😁🌟
IT TAKES TWO is coming out on bluray
How do i lose the subtitles, i can read/ listen
ABOUT LAST NIGHT.../MODERN GIRLS/NOTHING IN COMMON/ONE MORE SATURDAY NIGHT/TAPEHEADS
Dopeness

Aww! Thank you! 😭💜
Love it.
Thank you!!
@@turnbacktothe80s You're welcome.
Beast master and earth girls are easy were too popular to be called underrated. Here's 2 to replace them. Fraternity vacation and super fuzz.
🥰🥰🥰
