About This Quiz

The '80s were all about trendy Walkmans, mixtapes, Doritos "cool ranch" chips and, of course, memorable movies. With so many funny, adventurous and suspenseful '80s movies from which to choose, it might be difficult for us to match just one to your fun personality!

Who can forget the chemistry between Marty McFly and Doc Brown in the classic "Back to the Future" series? These movies are packed with time-traveling adventures, humorous dialogue and many different '80s references. 

If you're a fan of terrifying alien creatures, suspenseful situations and deep space exploration, then you'll love "Aliens" with Sigourney Weaver. 

How about a movie about space adventures but without any of that horror stuff? Look no further than "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back." This movie shows how evil Darth Vader has become while balancing the fun and lighthearted adventures that Luke, Leia and Han have to go through. 

Finally, every Tom Cruise fan has most likely seen "Top Gun," where Maverick has to put his fighter pilot skills to the ultimate test. But enough talk about '80s movies, because it's time for you to take our retro personality quiz to find out which '80s movie you are!
