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.
What if you could go back and own not one, not two, but 10 of the best comedies from the 1980s all in one package? Universal is making dreams come true this fall with the 10-Film 1980s Collection, which packages some of the best comedies from that decade. You can see such stars as Tom Hanks, Sean Penn, John Candy, Nicolas Cage, Carrie Fisher, Michael J. Fox, and many others in now classics like Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Breakfast Club, and more. Here’s a full list of all the movies available in the collection, plus all the bonus content you’ll get.
Now don’t be a Jeff Spicoli and miss out on this opportunity to own some of the 1980’s best comedies. Head over to Amazon Prime during Prime Day on October 8 and get these 10 movies for $23. That’s 43% off the lost price of $40, which is already a steal.

It is a smart, calculated move toward what the tech industry calls a "lean-back" experience. Instead of hunching over a laptop or squinting at a smartphone screen to watch a forty-minute interview or a deep-dive lecture, you can now throw it on the TV while you cook dinner, fold laundry, or just relax on the couch.
