Just curious to see what you folks were watching in the 80s.

My top 10 usually revolves but today I'm thinking (in no particular order)

Some are first rate cheese, but fun nonetheless.

1. Fast Times At Ridgemont High
2. Last American Virgin
3. 16 Candles
4. Better Off Dead
5. The Wild Life
6. Hardbodies
7. Fright Night
8. The Breakfast Club
9. Can't Buy Me Love
10. Valley Girl (Even though she was "toothy" the chick was hot.)

I love that movie, I've never seen the second one (that was never in theatres). I like Breakfast Club now more than I did then, nostalgia I guess.

I have to list "Breakfast Club" for the number of times I've watched it. I was burnt out on it for awhile. However, it's been on cable and it's fun to just watch for the fuckin' edits.

I've never seen the second "Heavy Metal" either. They did a good job transferring the second one to DVD in my opinion. I remember video taping that one in '83 and watching it like every day for a month after school.

First Blood was good. To me, the first movies of Rocky & Rambo were good and more believable if you can block out the sequels.

I think part of the reason I enjoyed alot of the 80s teen movies is simply because the teens were played by TEENS.

Nowadays you have 37 year olds appearing in movies as High School Sophomores.

Back To The Future 2 was my fave of the trilogy.

God, I should never say the word "trilogy."

Sounds like an Yngwie song / album title.
