Posts: 7929 04/28/2012 12:55 AM Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I finished watching them both. I loved The Goonies, so cute and funny. But that damned Outsiders.... I had no idea what I had gotten myself into, I'm going to be reading the book since I didn't know it was one. I also didn't know that the cast was going to send me into having premature hot flashes. Are there any other movies that were really popular in the 80's, besides Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles? Edited By: iheartjustinjc 04/28/2012 3:23 AM. Edited 1 time.

(but I do agree and also prefer other films over it) Some other great 80's films (according to me, that is. lol): Back to the Future series Labyrinth The NeverEnding Story Can't Buy Me Love Some Kind of Wonderful The Princess Bride Adventures in Babysitting Flashdance Footloose She's Having a Baby License To Drive The Lost Boys (first one only. lol) Stand By Me Mask (very sad) Less Popular: Girls Just Want To Have Fun (it's an 80's staple of mine) Troop Beverly Hills Teen Wolf (I was in love with Michael J. Fox) Howard the Duck (also not really popular because it's so awful. lol. But it was the 80's)

But I saw a clips of RDJ and Rob Lowe's ass on YouTube and I HAVE to watch Weird Science and Youngblood...lol. Weird, how I've never seen Ferris Bueller, Footloose, Back to the Future or Karate Kid franchises. I rue the day I watched The Outsiders....I already knew how much I was into Ralph Macchio, but damn that young Tom Cruise and Rob Lowe. DAMN THEM. Ugh.

I was looking at all these lists going "Oooh I like this one and this one and this one" and thinking that iheartjustinjc is going to think I'm crazy because this is going to be a hell of a long list I'm not a huge Star Trek fan but I do like them, only because my mom was a huge Star Trek freak So as a really young girl, she made me watch them, trying to get me to become a big fan as well. It only semi-worked, although I do tell her that I think I became a fan of humpback whales because of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
