In our first official episode of Hitting Rewind, AC and Jose kick things off with a draft built from the movies that shaped a generation.

Each of us selects 7 films from the 1980s and 7 films from the 1990s—28 total movies that defined our childhood, filled our living rooms, and helped shape who we are today.

From cable TV classics to VHS staples and weekend network broadcasts, we break down why these films mattered then—and why they still hit now.

This isn’t just a list. It’s a draft of the movies that raised us.
