There were certain <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-new-kids-movies-of-the-last-few-years/ranker-film">movies</a> growing up that just had managed to grab our attention – but specifically because of how jealous they made us. We either wanted something in the movie or wanted to live out the story as one of the characters and that desire consumed us. These are the movies that had as wrapped up in jealousy as kids.

American audiences in the 1980s and ‘90s had their pick of the litter when it came to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/tags/sitcoms">sitcoms </a>like Full House, Friends, and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Family -&nbsp;by birth, choice, and circumstance - was at the heart of many of these series.&nbsp;Although the stars were usually, but not always, the parents, the shows also featured a cast of siblings who fulfilled various functions, including as mischief-makers and straight-laced foils. Sitcom siblings often found their own spotlight, like Michael J.

Cinema is perpetually evolving, so <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movie-marketing-blitzes-80s-and-90s/tracey-graham">every decade in film</a> has its own distinct feel. The 1980s were about irresistible “high-concept” movies, while the 1990s took advantage of newfound CGI capabilities to create new forms of onscreen adventure that had never been possible before. So many people get nostalgic for movies from those years because, as the saying goes, they don't make 'em like they used to.Except once in a while, they do. The following throwback films were all made in the 2010s and 2020s, yet they have some element that aligns them with popular fare from <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/80s-90s-actors-who-always-play-bad-guys/mike-mcgranaghan">the ‘80s and ’90s</a>. If you want to see something new but long for a retro feel, these titles will deliver exactly what you're looking for. They've got that awesome vibe of movies you loved in the past wrapped up in a modern-day package.&nbsp;

Modern Movies That Feel Like Throwbacks To The ’80s & ’90s

Mike McGranaghan

In an era when one small, handheld device has essentially replaced all other needs for technological inventions, those of us who remember “simpler” times can easily grow nostalgic for our beloved devices of the past. Machines we thought we'd always use, like video recorders, CDs, video game cartridges, and portable music players, have suddenly become outdated technology of yesteryear.&nbsp;Still, just because our smartphones now act as digital typewriters, music players, answering machines, and recording devices all in one doesn't mean we don't get nostalgic for the once state-of-the-art machines that brought so much joy and ease into our lives. This list features outdated technology that we can't help but miss.&nbsp;

Most &#39;90s kids (or really anybody who didn&#39;t care to go out on Friday nights in the 1990s) can tell you tales of the wondrous array of parental figures TV sitcoms introduced in the last decade of the 20th century. &#39;90s TV dads are comedy gold, and they always delivered the best laughs and the most heart-felt father figure speeches. From Danny Tanner, the head of a Full House, to Carl Winslow, who could nail the sh*t out of perps, but couldn&#39;t always handle his Family Matters, there were plenty of clever, caring father figures for the kids and teens of the 1990s to look up to. Such actors <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-father-figure-actors/tyler-mitchell" target="_blank">unmistakably defined dad-ness</a> for an entire generation, and these are the best of them.

Would you have picked a dad who was firm, but jovial like Jason Seaver, or someone more roll-with-the-punches like Frank Lambert?

Many things about high school ring true no matter the last time you walked the halls: first love, fights with friends, prom, detention, and the pressure to fit in and do well. It's easy to revisit those moments on-screen with films like Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. While the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-movies-for-teenagers/ranker-film">high-school teen movie</a> is a seminal part of the American film canon, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movies-that-did-not-age-well-/will-morgan-1">not all movies have aged well</a>.&nbsp;Whether it's one scene that comes off as sexist or a series of events that are harder to watch in the 2020s, some teen flicks peaked upon release.

Pee-wee's Playhouse

Each episode featured a secret word that, once it was said, resulted in screams <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/paul-reubens-pee-wee-herman-death-career-in-photos/damon-davis">for Pee-wee</a> and the gang as well as for the viewers at home. Finding out what the secret word was may have been dreaded by parents, but it made for a great experience to wait and see just how many times the off-limits word was said - and how many times the at-home fans got to scream in response.Generally, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-children_s-television-series-tv-shows/ranker-tv?page=7">Pee-wee's Playhouse</a> didn't opt for obscure words but made the word common enough that it was difficult to avoid.

Back in the dark ages of the late '80s and early '90s,&nbsp;home computers were fairly rare. In those days, gamers were forced to take their gaming opportunities where they could. Outside the shelter of an arcade, that meant the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/all-educational-games-list/reference">edutainment computer games</a> that came pre-loaded on the blocky Macs which lined the walls of your school’s computer lab.While the other kids were actually memorizing the home keys or boning up on their spreadsheet skills, educational computer games were helping a fledgling generation of gamers kill the time until the bell.Even if you didn’t grow up to terrorize people in Call of Duty or wander the historical streets of an Assassin’s Creed game, the odds are solid you played one of these '80s and '90s edutainment games while silently&nbsp;praying that the teacher didn’t come by to check your work.

Back in the 1980s, it seemed that no new cartoon could hit the Saturday morning lineup without first having a toy line to back it up. This wasn&#39;t a &quot;chicken or the egg&quot; kind of scenario either; <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-most-nostalgia-inducing-_80s-toys/brian-gilmore" target="_blank">television studios paired up with toy companies </a>to animate their creations so each could promote the other. &quot;Why not play with those adorable characters you see on screen&quot; was just as good a question for the people behind hits like the&nbsp;Transformers&nbsp;and&nbsp;G.I. Joe: The Real American Hero&nbsp;as was &quot;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/toys-that-never-got-cartoons/greg-hahn" target="_blank">Why not</a> watch your favorite characters on TV?&quot;

Looking back, there were a ton of animated series created from toys, but not every one of them was good. The toy inspired cartoons that make it to the top of lists like this one had something special. They weren&#39;t simply 22-minute-long commercials about toys... well, they were, but they also had amazing stories, great characters, animation, and voice actors working <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/dark-coming-of-age-films/griffin-peters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">behind the scenes</a> to bring our favorite toys to life! Some came long after the &#39;80s and some right at the beginning, but they were all fun and entertaining! Many of these toy series were so beloved they&#39;ve been rebooted for the next generation, bringing My Little Pony and She-Ra to the children of millennials - right along with the toys they were made to sell.

The 1990s was a time when all types of cartoons were introduced to the general public and thrived within the the realm of pop culture. 90s cartoon characters are some of the most beloved of all time and certainly some of the most iconic. Characters range from more mature characters like Homer Simpson to Beavis and Butthead to classic children's cartoon characters like SpongeBob SquarePants, Blue, Rocko, and Doug Funnie. We also can't forget about famous female 90s cartoon characters, like Leela (Futurama), Marge (The Simpsons), and The Powerpuff Girls.&nbsp;During the '90s, mature cartoons started to become popular with many teens and young adults. Mike Judge was at the forefront of this movement creating the aforementioned Beavis and Butthead TV show along with King of the Hill, whose main character Hank Hill can be seen on this list. These famous cartoons are the forefathers to characters like Peter Griffin, Stan Smith, and the rest of the Seth MacFarlane universe. The same goes for the Nickelodeon cartoons of the same time period.Anyone can contribute to this list of who the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-cartoon-characters-on-tv/greg-hahn?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best cartoon characters</a> of the '90s is, which makes this ranking an accurate, real-time reflection of the crowd's collective opinion.If you have a favorite–boy or girl, blue, green, black, or yellow– that is not on the list, be sure to add it.
