Robert B, thanks for the PM invite. Thought this thread was dead but maybe still "officially" alive, kinda like A Flock of Seagulls is still supposedly a going concern. :-) Cheesy 80s movies huh? I'll try...look ma, no online movie guide searches ! BTW here one I can't remember the title to - movie about a new year's eve rock and roll show at a classic rock club that greedy developers want to tear down - can you remember it?? A Adventures in Babysitting (Liz Shue is hottttt even with an 80's do.) A is alredy covered, but About Last Night deserves mention - probably the high water mark of Demi Moore's career (Striptease? GI Jane??) and for that matter Jim Belushi's too B=Blue City (Lame. I can't think of a likeable film that starred Judd Nelson. Ally Sheedy certainly didn't help either). B=Better off Dead (cheesy John Cusack film, not dark by any means as the title suggested) B=How could I forget Bad Boys? C D E F=Fast Times at Ridgemont High (one of the best cheesy 80s teen flicks) G=Goin' All the Way (Is this cheesy enough? LOL) H=Hair Spray (Set in the 50's maybe does not qualify...who was it who directed those movies which always featured Divine??) I=I'm With the Band (Now I remember reading ABOUT this film in Rolling Stone, based on the autobiography by that groupie gal [name?] from the 60's...did it ever get released? Starred Ally Sheedy (Hmmm, maybe I just answered my own question :-) J K L=Last American Virgin, The (dumb plot, lame acting, soooo 80s :-) L=Light of Day (for some reason Joan Jett got great reviews for her role in this lame flick with Michael J. Fox.) M=Manniquin (was Kim Katrall the manniquin? If so I bet this has seen an uptick in rentals thanks to Sex & the City) M=Meatballs (first one with Bill Murray) was fun too...Chris Makepeace was always typecast as the wimp kid, remember My Bodyguard? N O=One Crazy Summer - starring John Cusack, Demi Moore?, Bobcat Goldthwait, the embattled father/teacher in the Twisted Sister videos P=Pretty in Pink (very cheesy ending) P with extra cheese=Porky's Q R=Revenge of the Nerds - awesome! We ARE the champions!! R=Rumble Fish - saw it once, thought it 'way cool' S=St Elmos Fire (the brat pack...<rolf>) TOO EASY-more: S=Sixteen Candles (one of the better cheesy 80s teen flicks, Molly's best IMO) S=Spring Break (ah the good old days when Ft. Lauterdale was awash in alcohol and wet t-shirts :-) S=Satisfaction. Justine Bateman of Family Ties fame was the leader of a girl group. I remember how she sang (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction through her nose. Maybe she and nancy Kerrigan should hook up - LOL) T U V=Valley Girl (Nick Cage's BEST movie ever!-chuckle) W=Wisdom - Who was the brat pack star of this film, who stole from the banks and gave to the poor farmers? Anyway a review called it "so bad you'll cheer for the Feds." Agree. W=Does Wall Street count?? Certainly a period piece, and a very good one too. X Y Z Zapped (why again was this Scott Baio's only shot at the big screen?) Wasn't that enough? :-)
