It's Family Movie Night And I'm Pegging My Pants
It's Family Movie Night and guess what we're watching? A mega hit of the 1980's that was sadly overlooked for an Oscar even though the acting was superb and the special effects were astonishing. That's right, we're watching...
Weird Science
This is one of my favorite movies from back in the days. You just can't beat two horny teenage boys and a beautiful Kelly LeBrock.
I do love this movie but it's certainly not my favorite. I love me some Molly Ringwald and Long Duck Dong. Remember this one? I could watch Sixteen Candles over and over again:
Or how about a little Sci Fi? For the longest time I wanted to meet Flash Gordon. I was also scared of putting my hands into tree stumps thanks to this movie:
But my all time favorite movie has to be this one:
For the longest time, Kristy McNichol and Christoper Atkins were my Brad and Angelina. Youtube has the entire movie in 10 minute increments, and I think I've watched it about 100 times. Blue Lagoon ain't got nothin' on Mabel and Freddy's love affair.
What's your favorite 1980's movie? Do you like any of the one's I mentioned or do you have your own faves? Join me on my pants pegging, Aqua net using, matching big sweater and leg warmer wearing, and banana clip in the hair adventure.

As I was contemplating this profound question with my family at Taco Tuesday at the 101 Cafe in my little down of the Dell, we came up with just a little list....lol. So here we go, Ferris Buellers Day Off, Dirty Dancing, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Top Gun, 16 Candles, Caddyshack, Space Balls, Empire Strikes Back and pretty much anything that had John Cusack in it.....I love that guy to this day. My parents added Cannonball Run and Roxanne.

There's something about Dirty Dancing but I also like the Breakfast Club and Big Chill. I have a thing for ensemble casts (no single star) and good soundtracks.
