Brush off your Cabbage Patch Kids, get out your Bangles album and squeeze some air into your Reebok Pumps. The ’80s are back – at least when it comes to this year’s holiday movie releases.

Just think about the lineup of films in movie theaters now and scheduled by Christmas: A remake of the 1984 classic “Red Dawn” opens this week and “Wreck-It Ralph,” which deals with characters from popular arcade games from three decades ago, is a hit for Disney. James Bond – who spied his way through five movies in the ’80s – returned to the big screen, plus coming is a film version of “Les Miserables,” a musical that debuted on Broadway in 1987. Even Barbra Streisand, who starred in the ’80s films “Nuts” and “Yentl,” is back with “Guilt Trip.”

For those of you who are less nostalgic, you can go see the finale of the “Twilight” film saga (if you haven’t already) and the beginning of the new “Hobbit” franchise.

Here’s a look at some of the films scheduled to open this holiday season:
