My Top Five 80's Movies

*DISCLAIMER -- I INTENDED TO PUT PICTURES IN THIS POST, BUT FOR SOME REASON THE 'ADD IMAGE' BUTTON HAS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND THE *ONLY* ONE I WAS ABLE TO ADD WAS PRETTY IN PINK -- VERY FRUSTRATING!!!**

On my morning drive, my favorite radio station (Preston & Steve of 93.3 WMMR out of Philadelphia!) were playing a game where they played the closing credit songs of 80's movies, and it got me thinking about my favorite 80's movies. I am a TOTAL 80's movies nut, and there are so many of them that I love, I could've probably done a top 100 list of 80's movies, but I didn't want to get that involved - haha!

So, in no particular order, here are my Top Five 8o's movies that I HAVE to watch every time they come on!


1) MANEQUIN: I love, love, love this movie. I think it's such a cute, cheesy love story. Andrew McCarthy is super cute in this movie! and I love the character of Hollywood! A bit of an unbeliveable love story, but still a cute movie to watch. I love the ending, and I'm a total cheeseball that tears up at the very end when he saves her from the big trash machine!


2) PRINCESS BRIDE: Another great love story! I love the meaning of the movie -- that if you believe in true love, you will find your true love no matter what and that true love will always prevail. The movie has a great sound track, and is just a totally romantic movie all around.


3) DIRTY DANCING: "Nobody puts baby in the corner". I used to watch this movie over and over again the summer I was 13 -- it was like the 'forbidden' movie to watch, LOL. I borrowed my mother's VHS copy and her soundtrack and would sit in my basement and just watch it and listen to the music and imagine that I was 'Baby' and that Johnny was my dance partner. I used to make up dances to the music! I was a total dork!


4) FOOTLOOSE: I had a thing with dancing movies, can you tell? lol... I loved this movie for the music and the moves, and this movie had a pivotal start in my obsession with one Kevin Bacon!


5) PRETTY IN PINK: Oh boy... Andrew McCarthy again.. He sure was a cutie in the 80's, wasn't he?? This movie is one of my favorites of favorites. I loved every minute of this movie. I tear up almost every time at the end scene in the parking lot after the prom, when he runs out and they kiss in the parking lot! LOVE IT!
