'80s Movies

Quite a few movies being made today are set in the 1980s. Looks like the rest of the world is waking up to the fact that the '80s ruled! Most of these are youthful hijinks movies, a genre that has made a comeback as of late. Holy gee, that last sentence was pretentious.

Trapped like rats. Or brats.

The Breakfast Club is, for many people, the ultimate '80s movie. Not only was it full of stereotyped teenagers (all '80s movies must have a bad girl, a preppie and a rebel), it also starred most of the Brat Pack. Also importantly, it has a soundtrack featuring Simple Minds and OMD.

I've seen this movie about 10,000 times. Each time I watch it, I pray that maybe this will be the time that the beautiful Ferrari won't get destroyed. I hate protesters, mostly because they are usually demonstrating so that the government will take one of our freedoms away. But I am willing to start a coalition to protest against old cars being destroyed just to make fucking movies. I also ask myself why Ferris would have his parents buy him a computer instead of a car.

Hal Needham rocks

Rad! is Rad! BMX ruled the bicycle scene in the '80s. That was before gay old mountain bikes came along in the early '90s and ruined everything. Well, look who's back! Since BMX is extreme, it has taken over again, and mountain bikes are back in the basement where they belong. Rad! was directed by Hal Needham, who is the same genius who brought us Smokey and the Bandit and Cannonball Run.  Cru Jones performed the first BMX backflip ever, making him the worlds fastest racer and top freestyler all in one movie. This flick is much better than BMX Bandits! (yes, all BMX movies must have an exclamation point in the title) even though BMX Bandits! has Nicole Kidman in it.

Risky Business Tom Cruise just had too much coolness in him not to be discovered. This movie launched his career, as well as Rebecca DeMornay's. DeMornay was able to go on to star in The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, which sucked, but was named after a Black Sabbath song. This movie has boobs.*
If tits come out during a Freddie movie, somebody's going to die within seconds

Each Nightmare on Elm Street movie featured two things: Resounding Death! and boobs* out for no reason. These are the criteria for a great series of movies.

This movie is in here because of one scene: the part where that really hot chick gets naked in front of the pool, with music by The Cars.  The Cars pretty much owned the early '80s. Boobs*

*while boobs cannot make horrible movies good, any regular movie is helped enormously by bare breasts
