Feel good movies ran rampant in the 80s and it’s one of the reasons why there are so many fond film memories from the decade. We stumbled upon a list of “The Five Best Feel Good Movies of the 80s” and we are sure you all will be holding a debate in the comments section after we reveal the list.

“It’s been said more than once, but the 80s were a transition decade that was basically pulling away from the 70s and somehow getting ready for the 90s by completing a major overhaul of what people knew and recognized within many facets of their daily lives,” according to TVOvermind.
“The movies that came out during this decade were a good indication of that since between the 70s and the 90s the 80s acted as a kind of buffer to get people ready.”
It’s this thinking that put some pretty heavy hitters on the list that the publication developed. In short the list includes: Stand By Me, The Breakfast Club, Back to the Future, The Goonies and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
