Me and DH have have recently discovered old Top of the Pops episodes on BBC 4 and a lot of the songs featured in old films, prompting a lot of nostalgia in our house!
So I’m making a list of classic 80’s and early 90’s films to rewatch.
So far I’ve got:
At Elmo’s Fire
Mannequin
Ferris Bueller’s day off
Pretty in pink
Girls just wanna have fun
Top Gun
Dead Poets Society
Ghost
Anyone care to add anymore?
