So, much to Jaysen's frustration I have been on a flashback tour of some of my old favorite movies. With the writers strike going on...there's nothing on tv, and so in the evenings I find myself trying to find things to do (besides the things I SHOULD be doing. There are always PLENTY of things to do, but I take the evenings off. Seriously, you should try it!) Anyway, Netflix has been shipping us some great 80s movies lately. I've been filling my queue with some great movie memories. So, I thought I would share some of my favorites with you for your viewing enjoyment.

I just introduced my kids to the Never Ending Story.
Somehow, it wasn't quite the same as when I was 10.
PLEASE, writers, come back to us. Save me from myself.
Maybe I can watch movies with you while my kids play in your new basement.
I love Legend, One Crazy Summer, Better Off Dead, Space Camp, A Far off Place (more recent but GREAT movie), Who's that Girl (i liked it then, probably not much now.
Ever See Welcome to the Doll House, also not 80s but still classic in my book. WEINER DOG!
Mannequin.....that is such a classic 80's flick. I had totally forgotten about that one although I think I had since it like five times.
One benefit of the writers strike, I am reading a lot more (books and blogs included)
Yes, Mannequin!
I could watch Baby Boom over and over and over. It's always on TBS and I watch it every time.
Cocktail, even though I can't stand Tom Cruise right now.
Heathers (was that 80s?)
Inner Space
Stie: I got Never Ending Story for my son a few years back...he isn't as into it as I was. So sad for me. :0(
Sister Sassy: Come over any time! I forgot about Legend. I loved Legend. Tom Cruise was in that one too. Never saw Welcome to the Doll House, I'll add it to my Netflix list!
Sister Honey Bunch: Heathers was totally 80s!
Ok,I drove my sister crazy renting Legend over and over again lol!
I thought Heathers was 90's- I wanted to marry Christian slater. I LOVED Pump Up the Volume. That was my first introduction to Fighting the Man.
you've listed soooo many of my favorites here. i was just telling my sister about adventures in baby sitting. lathough you did miss one of favorites, so it seems. i may have missed it, but i have always loved the cutting edge!
Those brought back some very fun memories, I have to say 16 candles is one of my favorites. I know the writer's strike is driving me crazy, I should look into getting some of these from Blockbuster.com. Good Tip!
Sigh...I miss the good old days. I haven't seen some of the movies you listed, but I have seen most of them. Brings back some good memories!
