Oh, Learned F-List...

Please to be recommending 80s films. I've rediscovered my love for them over a computerless weekend (and there's a sale on at the local DVD shop) but The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller will only get a girl so far. The trashiest, sharpest ones will get priority spandex.

How on earth did I forget that? I used to be obsessed with the soundtrack. In fact, that might require a downloading...

St. Elmo's Fire, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Weird Science. ANYTHING BY JOHN HUGHES. Please to be sending me *pink* spandex!!!

[rebness.livejournal.com]

John Hughes is the greatest, in that funky 80s way. I'm out of pink spandex, but I can offer you blue and red zig-zag spandex?

[avariecaita.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping that's blue *OR* red zig-zag and not together :p

I just thought of more: Legend, The Dark Crystal, and Splash!. Though any of them could be really early 90's. Am too lazy to look them up >:)

I was trying to think of that name weird science rocks.

[avariecaita.livejournal.com]

I like The Breakfast Club better. Somewhere in my sieve of a brain I've got the whole thing memorised :D :D

One from Weird Science: "Give me the keys, Lisa!"

EAT MY SHORTS!

I didn't realise how much that film has influenced aspects of The Simpsons and Futurama. All hail that fount of knowledge, Wikipedia.

Good question. There's something about those puppy-dog eyes of his...

Consider this bought.

Goonies

Outsiders

[rebness.livejournal.com]

The Goonies rocks. Hey, did you ever read The Outsiders? It made me cry, and then I became jealous when I realised how old the girl was when she wrote that story. Damned overachiever.

[tsaress.livejournal.com]

OMG yes I loved the the book I did a kind of essay thing for my g.c.s.e's at school on it.
I wrote a diary from sodapop's point of view.

'Gotcha' ~ 'Nerd,'(Anthony Edwards with hair), travels Europe with cool friend, meets girl, and gets mixed up with spies.

'Revenge of the Nerds' ~ Anthony Edwards, again with hair, and nerdy friends, erm, have their revenge on those who torment them.

'Children of the Corn' ~ Cheesy horror with the 'Terminator's' Linda Hamilton.

'Ladyhawke' ~ Fantasy, adventure, romance, and a bit of humour starring Rutger Hauer, Michelle Pfeiffer and Matthew Broderick. It would be a really good film if it weren't for the very dated, distracting, and annoying out of place with the film's setting, '80's synth music.

'The Princess Bride' ~ One of the best films ever. Watch out for the R.O.U.S's!

'Suburbia' ~ Best enjoyed while under the influence http://videodetective.com/home.asp?PublishedID=55410
