Quiz: Can You Name the ‘80s Movie From the Fictional Town?

There’s no doubt that the 1980s had some of the best movies. Whether it’s The Goonies or Platoon, there were memorable lines, characters, and moments. What about the fictional town, though? Can you name the movie just from the fictional town that we either wanted to live in or completely avoid? We have a quiz that will test that part of your movie knowledge.

How did you do? Did you manage to get all eight questions right? If you did, then we’re impressed, and we definitely think that you should share this with your friends. Why not turn it into a movie night afterward, especially for any of the movies with towns you couldn’t name?

Top Movies of the 1980s

There are plenty of movies from the ‘80s that will stand out. Maybe you were a fan of Blade Runner or Jaws; then there are those who adore The Princess Bride and Carrie. There are just so many fun and fantastical movies that we can happily rewatch. Of course, there are others like The NeverEnding Story, which absolutely broke our hearts with just one scene.

There are some movies that will always stand the test of time, though, and Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of them. Now try thinking of this movie without immediately singing the theme song. Sorry, not sorry that it’s now stuck in your head! Raiders of the Lost Ark brought us an archeologist to our screens who did more than just teach his skills. He would hunt down long-lost treasures to make sure they didn’t end up in the wrong hands.

Of course, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial will always be in our hearts. We got a look at what people are likely to do if they ever come across an alien species. While Elliot and his family helped E.T. get home, others wanted to run tests. It was up to this family to keep E.T. safe and make sure he was reunited with his parents.

Raging Bull sits at the top of the list of best ‘80s movies for many. It just comes down to the quality of the storytelling, directing, and acting. If you haven’t seen it, Raging Bull follows the life of boxer Jake LaMotta, whose temper was worse outside of the ring than it was inside.
