Relive the best the ’80s had to offer with Universal’s 10-Film 1980s Collection

The 'Burbs (1989) - Official Trailer

I was born and grew up in the 1980s, a time before Twitter, mobile phones, fake news, and Justin Bieber. While seemingly an ideal era, things weren’t perfect, as this was still the era of VHS. If you wanted to own your favorite movies, it usually cost you around $100, and that was with inferior picture quality and sound, and with absolutely no extras, save for a few trailers here and there.
