    Labyrinth. The greatest movie EVER, besides The Lost Boys and Legend and the Dark Crystal. =D

    Still love Labyrinth! We have the DVD and my kids love it now too. :)

    Yes! Absolutely one of my Top 5 movies. Ladyhawke also (not the forum mod -- she's awesome too-- the movie).

    You desperately a *****in' Camaro
    Sent that song to my fiance when he mentioned wanting a Camaro....lol...apparently he hadn't heard it before. *evil laugh*

    70s: I don't want to even describe the outfits my parents put me in....unfortunately there are pictures to prove it. *shudder*

    80s: You had purple pleather pants with a garish-silk-like patterned vest that was too big and you wore it over an over-sized white button up shirt.....or was that just me.....
    Pants that had front pleats with tapered legs....
    Neon patterned running shorts under skirts.....
    and of course, the requisite "Surf Ohio" shirt. :laugh:
