    I LOVE Molly Ringwald, still have random Molly Marathons... But I was born in 91, so I guess I can't really weigh in here :(

    Really? I didn't know you were 2 years younger than me!! :)

    Well I was born in 1983. But I still love the 80's more now than ever. I love the movies Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Goonies, The Lost Boys (idk if that was in the 80's or not),

    The bands: Madonna, Michael Jackson, INXS, Poison, Guns N Roses

    I just love the 80's

    I love the 80s because no matter what I wear in the future, nothing will ever be as ridiculous as what I wore in the 80s.

    I loved Goose from road warrior, had the leather jacket and all. Then Goose from Top Gun came along, after that no one remembers Goose from road warrior! Well in the end they both got cooked.

    The 80's had some of the best campy movies!

    Funny...music has been mentioned over and over, but not MTV specifically.

    I know we all loved it, but not necessarily what it has become. :ohwell:

    I want my MTV!

    Well, I HATE 80's music but I love 80's movies .... Pretty in Pink, Say Anything...

    I also loved the 80's because Rob Lowe was in his prime and that man was beautiful. I had posters of him all over my wall.
