Nostalgia
This is a list of films I grew up watching. My parents let me and my brothers watch horror films, and my grandma used to take us to the video store to rent out 80s horror on the weekend when we stayed. I was born in 1987 so there are a lot of classic 80s horror and adventure films along with some early 90s stuff.
The list contains some pleasant films, too!
