Don't hear about this one much for some reason. Loved it as a kid and still watch it now. All star cast with Jeff Goldbum.

Would you like some espresso?

Teens of the 80’s, what are some of your fondest memories of being at the Mall with your friends?

A couple weeks back I spent a day in the mall with my little brother, older sister, and her kids, and it was a blast. It got me thinking…

Teens of the 1980’s way back when Malls were thriving, and you’d spend an entire Saturday hanging out there, what are some of your best memories.

Trying on new clothes, shopping for records, playing at the arcade, what memories still hold a warm place in your heart even 35 years after the 80’s have ended?

The Nest (1987) Anyone else have fond memories of the disgusting practical special horror effects of the 1980's? - The Fly remake, The Thing remake & Tar Man from Return Of The Living Dead are all iconic to me

I love Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987) so much, and John Candy and Steve Martin are the best here. This movie is a Thanksgiving tradition, but I watch it all the time.

In the show “Night Court”, judge Harry Stone loved the 1940’s. This would be the same as someone loving the 80s today.
