Glad you enjoyed the list, Jennie. And I’ve always had the personal philosophy of keeping any and all babysitters on my good side.

I did mention the importance of pre-screening the movies you haven’t seen, but thanks for pointing out some of the specific ones to be aware of!

What a great list! At least half of them are movies I would happily sit down to watch, anytime they show up on TV. Thanks for the reminder!

Don’t (mess) with the babysitter!

Hi, nice list, but just a warning that many of those films include parts probably not suitable for younger kids.

Some include just some scary scenes like Gremlins, Goonies or Ghostbusters.
Some include some strong sexual inuendo like Real Genius.
And almost all include some inappropriate language.

That does not mean they are still not great movies that you can watch with your family, but just be warned if you have little ones that you might have to cover some eyes or ears for certain parts until they are old enough to understand.

I love the 80s. Thanks.
