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::
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.
Oh, GOD, anyone remember Red Dawn?(The Russians are coming!) First PG-13 movie I ever saw. I thought I was SO FUCKING COOL!
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.
Wasn't Red Dawn the first PG-13 movie at all? It was the first something, I'm pretty sure.
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::

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.
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.
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!
Yay finished draft!
I am disgusted at my commute and my general life right now, but it is all tied in with the shittiness that is the MBTA.
