After me proclaiming my love for Xanadu in the A-Z retro thread... thought we could start a thread on your fav cheesy/80's movies...

I loved:-
*Xanadu
*Girls Just wanna have Fun
*Flashdance
*Footloose

Oh I think I'll think of some more!!!

 

[SarahH]

ooooh... St Elmos Fire and the Breakfast Club, The Return to Oz (I still cry over Jack the Pumpkin )

 

[kazlin]

Oh no, do I have to? Oh go on then...

St Elmos Fire

It was American, is that German???

 

[Sherlock]

Breakdance

Breakdance 2 - Electric Boogaloo



Not my favourites per se but bloody hell they are so cheesy now.

Used to love things like St Elmos Fire, Pretty In Pink and so on, but not sure I could ever call Breakfast Club cheesy. Its a classic

Other classics are

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Say Anything
The Goonies

Cheesy ones for me are

Weird Science
Risky Business
Top Gun
Adventures in Babysitting (altho I loved this movie when I first saw it )
Porkys

Mermaids was theoretically the 90's, just scraped in 1990. I remember as I started senior school that year

If we can sneak in to the 90's can I take truly madly deeply & flatliners please, my girl, pump up the volume, kuffs...
