1987 — The Princess Bride

Though the title may conjure up images of a House of Mouse rip-off fluff piece, this traditional fairy tale has been enjoyed by people of all ages. Audiences are immediately given the proper background for an adventurous and romantic fantasy, brilliantly structured as a grandfather reading a book to his grandchild.

1988 — Die Hard

Is this the ultimate action movie? What is the ultimate Christmas film? Although categorizing Die Hard is challenging, everyone can agree that it is a film that always succeeds when viewed. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Jean-Claude Van Damme were among the indomitable bruisers of the 1980s. John McClane, played by Bruce Willis, is no Superman. He’s in shape — a cop needs to be in shape — but his muscles aren’t bursting through his shirt. He’s skilled with whatever weapon he’s using, but he also forgets to put on his shoes before going into action.
