Out of any decade in film history, arguably none produced quite as many crowd-pleasing flicks as the 1980s, whether you want treasure-hunting action-adventures (“Indiana Jones”), heart-warming alien encounters (“E.T.”) or a Christmastime crime thriller (“Die Hard”).And if you’re in the mood to televisually travel back that neon-drenched decade, Hulu — one of the best streaming services around — has plenty of throwback ‘80s flicks among its sprawling streaming selection. Tom’s Guide is helping you sort through all of that retro choice by narrowing things down to three top-notch titles that are worth a rewatch, from a David Bowie-led fantasy favorite to one of the late Rob Reiner’s most enduring love stories.Here are three ‘80s movies available to stream now on Hulu that are worth a rewatch.'The Princess Bride'

We lost filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle Singer Reiner earlier this year, but that doesn’t mean that the director’s legacy doesn’t live on via his beloved films, including his 1987 fantasy-romance “The Princess Bride.” An adaptation of William Goldman’s novel of the same name, the spirited tale centers on Princess Buttercup (Robin Wright), who’s stolen from her true love Westley (Cary Elwes) by the dastardly Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon).After years apart, Westley — who has transformed from being a humble farm boy to the heroic Dread Pirate Roberts — sets off to rescue his beloved with the help of kindhearted giant Fezzik (Andre the Giant) and skilled swordsman Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin). Combining action-comedy with swoon-worthy romance, “The Princess Bride” is a lasting testament to Reiner’s varied gifts and there’s no better way to honor his memory than with a rewatch.Stream "The Princess Bride" on Hulu now'Labyrinth'
