We all have our favorite classic '80s movies, from The Breakfast Club to The Shining to Blade Runner; it was an exceptional decade for film and included several new-at-the-time genres. But the decade's also known for movies that were ahead of their time, either because they dealt with mature topics that audiences weren't quite ready for or they arrived around the release of a more popular blockbuster and got buried.
Many of these cult classics, from iconic horror movies to incredible romances, still hold up—and are absolute must-watch films. So, if you love the '80s and need something new on your screen, consider this round-up of underrated movies a to-do list.
