I cant sleep tonight so Im watching Footloose which is defenitely one of my favorite movies from the 80's. I mean I love the soundtrack and love Kevin Bacon so what could be better? :-) What is your favorite movie from the 80's?
 
Hmmmm I have a couple I like to watch over and over....Dirty Dancing, Breakfast Club and of course the Big Chill.
 
Dirty Dancing is my favorite, but I love
Shag
Sixteen Candles
Pretty In Pink
Teen Witch
Girls Just Want to Have Fun
Breakfast Club
Weird Science
 
Since I grew up in the 80s, a lot of them bring back memories. Here's some of my favorites:
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
The Breakfast Club
Pretty in Pink
Say Anything
Dirty Dancing
Sixteen Candles
 
I LOVE Shag too! My all time faves are 16 Candles (we would always play house and Jake Ryan was always my boyfriend LOL), Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Less Than Zero (yum Robert Downey Jr.), and of course The Goonies.
 
Oh thought of another one:
Valley Girl-not the best movie of all times but OMGosh Nikolas Cage looks soooooo YUMMY!!!! That was the beginning of my huge crush on him LOL.
 
Love Shag too!

What else...
The Outsiders (had the movie poster on my door for ages)
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
The Goonies
The Breakfast Club (Judd Nelson....*swoon*)
Sixteen Candles
Pretty in Pink (ok...have to say...book was better---->she winds up with Duckie Dale in the book instead of boring Blaine)
Just One of the Guys
 
Wow has it really been so long since these classics came out? Ughh, I am old!
Top Gun
Highlander
The Wrath of Khan
Terminator
(I know..., I am a total geek)
 
Bueller....Bueller.....Loved that movie!

Also,
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
The Breakfast Club
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Footloose

I love Dirty Dancing, but I don't think of that as an 80's movie...mostly because I was already married and out of college when it came out. LOL!

Anyone ever see St. Elmo's Fire? That came out after TBC, but I can't remember if I liked it or not. LOL!
