    Besides Dirty Dancing being my favourite
    I also like:

    - Scarface
    - Roadhouse
    - Lost Boys
    - Red Dawn
    - Labyrinth
    & a few more that I can't think of right now, but those are my ultimate best :]

    How did I forget Red Dawn, it's either tied or a close second with Roadhouse for me.

    I can watch that over and over and over and never get bored and can quote it pretty much from start to end

    I adore about all of these listed, but my all time favorite movie (much to my teenaged children's dismay) is, and will forever be Labyrinth!!!! :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

    OMG so many fab films, which have already been listed.... St Elmo's Fire, The Outsiders, Pretty in Pink and Raiders of the Lost Ark, but what about 'About Last Night' (how hot is Rob Lowe?!)

    This might seem like a strange one, but another favourite of mine is Once Upon a Time in America...I absolutely lurve Robert De Niro and I have a strange fascination with the old style gangsters...maybe I was a gangsters moll in a previous life, lol!!!

    Top Gun! Or maybe The Karate Kid! I was born in 88 so I don't remember them in the 80's but Top Gun is great!

    Probably Breakfast Club, it was THE quintessential 80s movie. Good times.

    LOL ... Popeye... Really ??? :)) I was an extra in that movie when I was 8 yrs old ... I thought it was a floppp

    No way! We loved it! And my boyfriend told me recently that it was one of his favorites when he was a kid too. Me and my sisters could probably still sing the songs from the movie.

    Haha!! Awesome !!! ... It was such a fun experience being on set with Robin Williams ... He would gather us kids and tell us jokes and do skits from Mork and Mindi :))
