Reminder: Nearly every movie you loved from the 1980s is worse than you remember. Yes, there are exceptions. We're talking on average here. Pre-screen them before you show them to your kids. You'll save on a lot of "pausing and explaining" later.
(Also every single Disney animated film before ooooooh, let's say, 2000)
Incidentally, this is not me telling you that you can't ever enjoy your 80s favorites. Just to be aware that, especially if you haven't watched them for a while, they will likely vividly remind you the culture has, uhhhh, *moved on,* especially if you decide to show them to kids.
PS: I've noticed that just about every film someone here notes as an exception to the "aged poorly" thing, someone else (usually more than one) notes as having aged the most poorly of all, so, uh, yeah
(And those of you saying Sixteen Candles has aged well: My dude, what)

Also, be sure to check out the "Hidden Tweets" section of this thread for a fine collection of manly men huffing and puffing about political correctness! Bring your "BINGO for Bigots" card! It gets kinda spicy in there.
