Eighties, Baby!

OH, I LOVE THE EIGHTIES! But, I especially love, love, LOVE Eighties Movies. You may recognize and have seen some of the listed movies above, but I hope to have introduced a few that I love and you have yet to see.

(* = Please do yourself a favor and watch these movies in surround sound) 

1.  Less Than Zero * (1987) Picture Robert Downey Jr. on a serious drug binge, add a sexually corrupt brat pack and you have one of my favorite eighties movies of all time. Trailer
2. Risky Business (1983) Hot damn, Tom Cruise is one sexy son of a bitch in this movie. This is the movie that set Kelly Kapowski's love interest for life. And, ooh la la, do we love that porsche in the movie! Trailer
3. The Lost Boys * (1987) Ok, Ok, so Corey Haim annoys the living shit out of me in this, but this movie is a classic! Vampires plus the two Corey's is borderline incredible. Trailer
4. Lucas (1986) You can't help but to love this movie. As young girls, we have all had boys that have fallen in love with us, but we were completely out of their league. This movie has managed to put Corey Haim, Winona Ryder, and Charlie Sheen into one atmosphere prior to destroying their lives. Incredible! Trailer
5. Nine and a Half Weeks * (1986) By far, the sexiest eighties movie alive that then makes you want to kill yourself. You will never believe how beautiful Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke use to be. Trailer
6. Flashdance * (1983) Legwarmers plus incredible eighties dance music, 'nuff said. Trailer
7. Rain Man (1988) Dustin Hoffman's riveting performance in this movie makes you 100% believe that he is full blown retarded. Trailer
8. Big (1988) Tom Hanks is fantastic. He exudes his talent in this movie, pretending to be a big kid. I love, love, LOVE this movie. It teaches you to never grow up too fast.  Trailer
9. Stand By Me (1986) 'Lard Ass!' Remember those summers, when you were fourteen, and you decided to go on a quest with your friends to find a dead body? Then, you will absolutely love this movie! Trailer
10. Cocktail (1988) Every girl loves a good bartender, but when you add tricks to the bartender and a vacation get-a-way, you get Tom Cruise in this! Trailer
11. The Terminator * (1984) As corny as this movie may be, I love it! I always love to turn it on late night. Arnold Schwarzenegger still scares the living shit out of me in this movie as a futuristic robot. Trailer
12. Scarface * (1983) 'The World is yours' Ah, I love my Cuban drug dealer that literally snorts a bus full of cocaine towards the end. This movie is bitter-sweet and Michelle Pfeiffer looks incredible in this. Trailer
13. Pretty in Pink (1986) This was one of my mother's favorites that soon became mine. We all wish we had a best friend like Ducky! Trailer
14. Beetlejuice (1988) Say 'BeetleJuice' three times and you will get an undead comedic zombie who likes to hang out at whore-houses. Trailer
15. Weird Science (1985) When the geeks get the girls, by building the woman of their dreams through a computer with underwear on their heads. Trailer
