Please. Making your kids watch the prequels should qualify for child abuse.

While these are a little more on the adultish side I watched them growing up and you should totally watch them with the kids.

Bloodsport,
Terminator,
Terminator 2,
The Running Man

You know what scratch that. there should just be a thread for older awesome action movies.

Fuck yes... there was a revival of Labyrinth after Bowie died, actually. It aged pretty well but I wouldn't say it's quite a children's movie.

A few more that DIDN'T age too well but that I saw with the kids when they were little:


This one is a favorite that definitely hasn't aged well... but there's a bit of a scene on youtube with film/editing buffs making modern trailers of 80's classics and this one is pretty good:

Excellent choice. For the grownups, try to think of them as Claire Underwood and Inigo Montoya as Saul from Homeland.

What does it say about the state of cinema today, that my kids like Ghostbusters/Karate Kid/Back to the Future more than anything (with the exception of the Marvel movies).

That's complicated lol. Theaters have to bring SPECTACLE to justify the $15 bucks per ass nowadays. They know they can't compete with the HBO's for the quality and they know they can't compete with the netflixes for the volume, so they need to cram as much bang into those 90 minutes for the buck.

Back in the 80s we had a choice between reruns of Three's Company or shitty B-movies and first base... easy decision.
