1. The Breakfast Club (1985)

With a plethora of 80s movies to choose from, first up is an absolute classic, The Breakfast Club. This teen flick features some of the most eye-catching and iconic scenes of the 80s, but who can forget the detention crew's fabulous dance party? Boogie down like Mr. Vernon isn’t watching.

2. Footloose (1984)

We’ve got this feeling, you gotta cut loose with this next scene. Footloose has all the components that we adore in an 80s movie; love, music, dancing, and the classic tale of teenage rebellion. Kick off your Sunday shoes and lets dance!

3. Pretty In Pink (1986)

We can’t help but love the cooky and totally out-there character Duckie of Pretty In Pink. His charming Otis Redding impression of “Try a Little Tenderness” sealed the deal for us. We’ve learned a thing or two from Duckie about making a musical grand entrance.

4. Say Anything (1989)

What 80s girl hasn't dreamed of a boy like Lloyd holding up a boombox outside of their window to win their love? Especially with “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel playing. This wouldn’t be a true 80s nostalgia list without the honorable mention of the 1989 classic, Say Anything.

5. Beetlejuice (1988)

Arguably the greatest ghostly possession in history, this dinner turned into one hellish dance party. We can only hope that the afterlife is as fun as this film.

6. Risky Business (1983)

This flick features the dance sensation that sent thousands of kids crashing into their parent’s furniture. Tom Cruise in Risky Business gave us hope that our parents would leave us home alone so we could get down in our socks.

7. Dirty Dancing (1987)

Who could forget the thrill ride that was the final dance scene in Dirty Dancing?. The intense chemistry between Johnny and Baby backed by the classic “Time of My Life” recorded by Billy Medley and Jennifer Warnes, inspired us to get out and dance. Oh, and that lift was pretty radical too.

8. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1983)

Bueller… Bueller… Bueller… Last but not least, the flashmob during Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is truly one of those memorable scenes that will go down in history. Twist and shout your way through this famous scene!
