Cocktail (1988)
A whole generation of barman and mixologists choose their career because of this movie. One of the most '80s films you can watch, it still stands up today, and with one of Tom Cruise’s best performances, there’s plenty to love about this tale of cocktails and dreams.
It's not the '80s, so check out our low-proof cocktail series here.
