Rhin Pretty in Pink was one of the first one's I thought of, but I didn't want to admit, that I was a diehard Molly Ringwald fan in the 80's. It couldn't be helped...I grew up with the 'bratpack'! *laughing* 001214

monde i loved labyrinth because david bowie had his hair kinda long and wore those silver lame pants and was an evil master of a marvellous wonderland.

the end really peeved me when i saw it for the first time, and still peeves me today. i mean, what the hell was up with that girl?

that's what pisses me off about MOVIES. there's some sort of story regulations that explicitly state that we can't have something happen in a more sensible way. like, i wanted to see him TAKE her, damnit. it wouldn't have even needed to have been graphically portrayed; suggested would have been fine. but noooo, we have to have the goody two shoes "resisting temptation" thing.

as for other 1980s movies:

fast times at ridgemont high - because of sean penn with long hair taking bong hits. i wanted to see HIM down in the dugout with that wannabe slut girl, not that ugly ticket scalper guy.

scanners - remember that one? where psi warriors went around blowing each other's heads apart with their minds

dark crystal - around the time this came out i was SO into pink floyd that i wore a prism around my neck everywhere, and i even had a razorblade "pseudotattoo" of one on my right leg (i can still sort of see the scar.) i am mostly into guys...but i met this one girl named Stormer, this Czechoslovakian girl who my b/f in 1983 had been cheating on me with. long and the short of it is i took some acid, then i took more acid, and i wasn't jealous any more. i met her, and fell in love with the wonderfully loquacious and hebephrenic way she talked. she used to call me "gelfling" - she said i had hair like one. (i did, definitely.)

phantasm - technically not an 80s movie but i think of it as one because it's when i saw it. it was the first horror movie to actually creep me out, and the last. i don't know why (i think it had a lot to do with that silver ball thingie...) but i do remember that scene in which the older brother stood in the mausoleum room with his hands on the metal dimensional-gate poles and there's this droney humming everything blowing around and...it turned me on...it made me hot in the most intense way, just that one scene. creeped out and turned on by the same movie: weird.

pobodys nerfect User 24--if you had said this back when Stand By Me was still a new movie, I would've wanted to clobber you. I had the biggest crush on him back then. So much,in fact,that I used to watch S.B.M.
in the mornings before and also after school. *covers face in embarassment*

pipedream Love 86. A horrible Indian flick with actors who were still nobodies and it was putrid....but for some odd reason it's a cult movie in my cousin brigade. the memory of our obession still makes us laugh our butts off *lol*

Pretty Woman was 90's- was it?

pobodys nerfect "Glory"--the only war movie I've seen that I liked(so far,at least). Beautiful,sad,and thought-provoking. It was one of those movies that deserved alot more recognition than it got. Would make a wonderful addition to any movie collection, and totally worth searching for. :) 030618
