Ready for a movie word scramble puzzle? Just think back to big glasses, big hair and the Reagan years as you try to unscramble these popular movie titles. All were released between 1980 and 1989.

Here's a peek at the Printable Word Scramble Puzzle. The full text also appears below.  For best results, use the PDF version. The number in ( ) tells how many words are in the movie title.

Solving Hints:

  • Try to solve the titles with the fewest letters first.
  • For those titles with a lot of letters, it may help to jot down a few of the big titles that you already know or remember between 1980 and 1989. Look for those on the list first.
