There's something so inherently striking and dynamic about the '80s as a period of filmmaking that made it one of the absolute best times for compelling family movies. Whether it was massive cultural milestones like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial or beloved cult classics like Time Bandits, the decade continuously brought its best when it came to family entertainment. Even some of the bad family movies of the era like Mac and Me and The Wizard have secured distinct niches as extremely memorable, so-bad-they're-good classics.
