walking on sunshine is a good nod back to the 80's though not made in the 80's. fun for a girls night in for singing and dancing to.

Breakfast Club is very "of its time"
everybody can identify either themselves or one of their friends in it
but the acting and music are just fab
if you were a teenager when it came out you'll get it

I found Breakfast Club a bit dull and I was the right age to watch it. I loved Pretty in Pink but the last time I watched it I noticed loads of flaws.

I had a similar experience with drinking Tizer.

Sometimes you should never go back.

Another one was Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Another vote for Overboard! I love that film so much, Goldie Hawn is hilarious Grin.

I've downloaded The Lost Boys but I want to watch it ASAP.
I don't think I can wait for my friends. I'll have pretend Im watching it for the first time in ages when I watch it with them.
