You remember how back in school, everyone had a lunchbox with some sort of memorable character on them? There were always tons of awesome, movie-themed lunchboxes back in the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s, and they always made you jealous in comparison to your brown-bag lunch. While these cool lunchboxes are still around today, they aren’t as common as they used to be.

Check out these photos of some vintage lunchboxes that will absolutely take you back in time. Did you ever own any of these back in the school days?

This is a cool design, but I would’ve loved to bring in a Superman-themed lunchbox with Superman in his usual superhero get-up on it!

5. ‘Ghostbusters’

This would be an awesome lunchbox to bring in during the month of October, a.k.a. spooky season!

Another retro classic and what’s even better, you can tell this lunchbox has some wear and tear on it, making it look even more authentic!

7. ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’

Yet another classic, complete with the additional thermos. I would’ve totally brought this to school as a kid — unfortunately, I was more in the brown-bag lunch group.

8. ‘Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom’
