When I was little I used to stay at my grandparents' house, and raid their carefully indexed library of VHS tapes. And top of my watch list was always "Laybrinth." The 1986 movie featured a tights-wearing David Bowie, a young Jennifer Connelly and a cast of enchanting Jim Henson puppets. I lapped up the magic, the jeopardy and the firm friendships that Sarah (Connelly) builds with the creatures she meets in her quest. Upon rewatching my DVD version, the movie feels distinctly 80s, and I think that's to its credit.

I'm clearly not alone in my love of 1980s classics. Our streaming team's recent op-ed arguing "'Ferris Bueller' is the ultimate '80s feel-good movie" resonated with tens of thousands of readers, and hundreds of you voted on your favorite line from the film. So in honor of the decade that we love, I've made this fun picture quiz. Match up the friend character at the top with the correct protagonist from the four options.

How did you do this time? Too hard? Too easy? Did I miss your favorite '80s movie? Let us know in the comments below.
