Best feel-good 80s movies to watch, straight from a Gen Xer
Back in the 1980s, multiplex movie theaters grew to offer more than 10 movie screens — and supersized movie theater candy and snacks matched the bigger-is-better-trend. The movie theater popcorn was great, but the suddenly enormous box of Milk Duds, giant pretzels, huge sodas, and other movie theater food made the concession stand a new and exciting experience all its own.It’s no surprise that the first 19-screen multiplex opened in 1987 in Universal City, CA, as Cineplex joined forces with Universal Studios.
