Stuck at home? 📼 This is your sign to watch an ’80s movie!

Remember when movie night meant wandering the aisles of a video store, reading the backs of VHS boxes, and hoping you picked the right flick?

We’re taking a trek back to the ’80s with seven road trip movies worth revisiting. Some are old favorites, some might have slipped under the radar, but all of them remind us that hitting the road is always fun.

🎬 Here’s what’s on the shelf:

1. Pee-wee’s Big Adventure (1985) — Paul Reubens, E.G. Daily
2. Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) — Steve Martin, John Candy
3. Starman (1984) — Jeff Bridges, Karen Allen
4. Midnight Run (1988) — Robert De Niro, Charles Grodin
5. Fandango (1985) — Kevin Costner, Judd Nelson
6. Lost in America (1985) — Albert Brooks, Julie Hagerty
7. The Sure Thing (1985) — John Cusack, Daphne Zuniga

Laughs, romance, and wrong turns — all add up to the kind of ’80s nostalgia that makes you miss your VCR. (Please be kind and rewind.)

🚗 Which movie are you stopping for? And which road trip classic did we leave out?
