    Real Genius


    Popcorn anyone? Who wants a sweater? I loved the moment when Val Kilmer's character tells Gabe that they're smart, but they're nothing to the student who graduated several years before who's living in the steam tunnels of the university.

    The Dark Crystal
    Little Shop of Horrors
    Karate Kid
    National Lampoons Vacation
    Summer Rental
    The Breakfast Club
    Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

    Yeah, me and my sisters watched a lot of TV when we were kids. We wore out at least one Betamax machine.

    The Big Chill.

    The friendship in that movie is what true friendship is all about.

    And the soundtrack is the best!!

    I just ordered Ral Genius to show my kids the scene about the "tape recorders" in the lecture hall! Great flick, and was hard to find.

    Wow I haven't even heard of a lot of these. I was born in 80 though, so I guess most of these would have been when I was too young to really watch them. Guess I am going to have to start renting some!

    I LOVE 80s movies, John Hughes, the whole Brat Pack, etc. I think Say Anything might be my favorite, but there isn't a one that I won't stop and watch if I'm flicking through the channels and one comes on. Even the more obscure ones, like Youngblood or American Anthem. And of course, the ensemble casts like The Outsiders!

    I am with you on the John Hughes thing! Brilliant man - brilliant movies. When they are on TV I watch them, even when I own them on dvd and could watch them ad free
