    Oh wow! I hate picking favorites! I :heart: :heart: :heart: every movie listed.

    I will just say that John Hughes and Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemekis were my heroes in the 80s. If they made it, I watched it.

    Save Ferris!

    Just something about that movie that takes me right back (being born in 71 and all ...).

    From the Ferrari being driven by the car park guys to the Twist and Shout sequence ... all awesome.

    Yes!!!!!! Even my kids loved that one. It's probably their favorite 80s movie by far.

    And you are my brother's age. I was born in '74.

    It makes me happy to know there are many others that share my love of 80's movies. They just don't make them like they used to. :happy:

    I also loved Jetsons: The Movie back when it came out. But now, it is so cheesy. :smile:

    Yes, I am adding to my list.

    Adventures in Babysitting
    Maid to Order
    Doc Hollywood
    Dirty Dancing (Nobody puts Baby in a corner!)
