    Almost any of them will do for me. My favorites are the horror flicks like Return of the Living Dead and The Thing. Nightmare on Elm, Friday the 13th and Halloween all had some classics in the 80's too.

    Weird Science - for some crazy reason I really love that movie but I also enjoy many of the "classics" like Labyrinth, Sixteen Candles, Back to the Future, etc.

    Has to be Ghostbusters - Can't believe I had to MAKE (physically force the girl to sit and watch this) my friend watch this, as she'd never seen it before (and she's the same age as me)!!! Then complained about it after - This coming from the girl who likes "Twilight"!! :grumble:
