Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

The only summer my parents had HBO was the summer Grease II was playing ALL THE TIME. (Along with "The Reflex" video on MTV.) My little sister and I LOVED it -- watched it a zillion times, could sing all the songs.

My little sister had a Dirty Dancing obsession when it came out -- she was, 12? 11? -- we had it on tape. I've probably watched the damn thing 25 times. At 15, I knew it was cheesy, but still sighed over it.

Molly Ringwald always bugged me, but I loved The Breakfast Club and Some Kind of Wonderful. Oh, and I watched Back to the Future about a million times. I thought Lea Thompson was cooler that Molly Ringwald.

Oh, GOD, anyone remember Red Dawn?(The Russians are coming!) First PG-13 movie I ever saw. I thought I was SO FUCKING COOL!

Because books.

Valley Girl ! Oh my god, I adored that movie. Went out and bought a Plimsouls album, even. And of course Lost Boys, which I forgot to mention before, but somehow I don't associate it as an 80s movie. I don't know why.

::smooches Cindy, just because::

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I just admitted to myself that in the next few days I'm going to rummage through some boxes to see if I still have my movie poster for Lost Boys. If I do, I'm putting it up in my office. I'm pretty sure this action will fall into the "hopelessly cheesy" category, but I don't care.

Because it came out in the summer of 1987, so it was very late 80s. My friends and I spent a lot of nights going to the local dollar theatre to see it over and over.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I LOVED Red Dawn! I saw it when it came out on video when I was 17. It made me cry. (What? I can be a sap.)

I am a sap for all the 80's movies noted so far.

I remember renting Valley Girl and running to my friend's house during lunch from school to watch it in 30 minute chunks. We thought we were too cool.

DH proposed during Ferris Bueller. Right before the Stock Market scene.

Footloose, Fame, Lost Boys, Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club..... Movie heaven.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Wasn't Red Dawn the first PG-13 movie at all? It was the first something, I'm pretty sure.

Because books.

Damn, I forgot to mention Flashdance ! That I saw a zillion times -- and, again, bought the album. (And did indeed cut up a sweatshirt or two.) I can still watch that one. The ending still makes me tear up, with the yay! jump and the roses and dog ... ::sniffles::

Because it came out in the summer of 1987, so it was very late 80s.

Ah. That would have been my second year of college. I think I actually saw it when I was working at a video store in town. Which still rented Betamax at the time. Oy.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Many happy birthday greetings from Alaska, juliana!!! I hope you have been having a perfect day.

Red Dawn. I adore Red Dawn. I cried every time I saw it. Cried, no, I sobbed. And the Lost Boys. OMG, I'm turning back into a teenager before my very eyes.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

My brain is too dead to be able to add much to the 80's movies talk, but my paper (at least the draft that was due today) is done done done!
