3 classic '80s movies on Hulu you should absolutely rewatch

If you're in the mood to revisit the iconic 1980s, Hulu offers a variety of classic films that are perfect for a trip down memory lane. Three standout titles that deserve a rewatch are "The Princess Bride," "Labyrinth," and "Dirty Dancing."

"The Princess Bride," a 1987 fantasy-romance directed by Rob Reiner, is a delightful adaptation of William Goldman's novel. It follows Princess Buttercup's daring rescue by the hero Westley, along with his allies Fezzik and Inigo Montoya. The film masterfully combines action, comedy, and romance for an unforgettable viewing experience. Stream "The Princess Bride" on Hulu now.

Jim Henson's "Labyrinth," released in 1986, is another gem that deserves another look. Starring David Bowie as the enigmatic Goblin King Jareth, the movie follows Sarah as she embarks on a quest through a magical maze to save her baby brother. Filled with practical puppetry, a mesmerizing synth-pop soundtrack, and surreal visuals, "Labyrinth" remains a standout of the decade. Stream "Labyrinth" on Hulu now.

Finally, no 1980s film list would be complete without the timeless dance classic "Dirty Dancing." Set in 1963 Catskills, this Emile Ardolino-directed film tells the story of Baby, a bright high schooler who finds herself drawn into the world of sensual dancing when she meets instructor Johnny Castle. The chemistry between Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze, along with the iconic dance finale, make "Dirty Dancing" an enduring favorite. Stream "Dirty Dancing" on Hulu now.
