I am in a nostalgic mood today, thanks in part to just hearing "I've Had The Time of My Life" from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. I started thinking about all of the songs and movies I loved from the 80's. If you rocked big hair, asymmetrical hairdos, wore stone-washed jeans with neon colored t-shirts, you probably have some 80's faves to share. Some of my favorite 80's movies: Top Gun, Dirty Dancing, Ghostbusters, Flashdance and of course, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

What are your faves?
