Diana's must-see 80's movies list!

Updated: May 22, 2020

I love 80's movies, music and the decade! I have listed my favorite movies below, but I am sure I missed a lot of them and will need to revise my list!

You can also check out our latest podcast #84, where we share our favorite memories, trends, TV shows and movies from the decade. There is such a lightness in so many of these movies and it's just a good way to relax, laugh and enjoy, especially as we SIP. Thanks for dropping by and we appreciate your continued support!


Cheers!
