"The Breakfast Club." "The Goonies." "Ghostbusters." "Footloose." All of these movies not only defined a generation, but also became instant classic with a life span that is never ending. Now, thanks to the recent Netflix series "Stranger Things," which combines countless '80s movie references like "The Goonies" and "Poltergeist," there seems to be a resurgence in '80s film classics.
One of our favorite '80s film, and another film that heavily influenced "Stranger Things," was Steven Spielberg's "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial."

The now 45-year-old Henry Thomas who played Elliot has stayed quiet busy since his break-out hit in 1982. For the past 34 years, Thomas has starred in a variety of TV and film projects like "Misunderstood," and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation."
