    We stay in the 1980s for this classic coming-of-age adventure comedy, which follows a group of teens searching for a lost treasure in hopes of saving their childhood homes.

    Patrick Swayze once more is on the list, this time trading his dancing shoes for guns and a surfboard.

    In “Point Break,” he plays the head of a bank-robbing team known as the “Ex-Presidents” (they rob banks wearing masks of, you guessed it, former presidents). Keanu Reeves plays the FBI agent who goes undercover to infiltrate the group, which he comes to learn are thrill-seeking surfers.
