Great scene.

I spotted a big bumper magazine thingy in Tesco earlier, essentially this thread, but encompassing TV and music. Go find it tomorrow, people! There are double-page spreads on both 'Allo 'Allo! and Blackadder.

The main fella is really quite odd and creepy.

Every woman I've ever met disagrees with you!

Can't believe I missed this thread

Meatballs (Bill Murray is ace!)
Scrooged
Gremlins 1+2
Star Trek iv The Voyage Home
Breakfast Club
16 Candles
Weird Science
Purple Rose of Cairo
Radio Days

The films just felt so confident, and funny, and on the ball. I loved Something about Mary becuase it felt like an 80s film.

Risky Business
Trading Places

I like Mannequin but it's bad for my brain.

As I have to watch it and edit in nudey Kim Catrall only 20 years younger.

n.b. going off comedy, howz about 80s action movies?

Die Hard
Lethal Weapon
Predator
Terminator
Highlander

and ultimate comedy/action cross over

Flash Gordon.

SPACEBALLS!

The Breakfast Club one was on ITV3 last night, so will almost certainly be on at some point in the next few days as well.

And running 24/7 in some dim and distant area of my brain.

Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe?

Teenwolf was ace.

American Werewolf in London was f**king terrifying. But amazingly fantastically brilliant.

Teenwolf was strangely enjoyable.

Interesting fact about Teen Wolf - if you look closely at the crowd just before they rush down to the court when Teen Wolf's team wins, one of the guys in the audience pulls out his penis and gives it a waggle.

Lol, XXX Teen Wolf.

As well as previously mentioned I'd like to add

Revenge of the Nerds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw6zrInbtQE

Back to School http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xfi4s8cjLFI

And on a different note The Hitcher

my favouite film is an 80s US comedy, Midnight Run

The Three Amigos - everyone was on top of their game back then. What happened? And I've always has a soft spot for The first couple of Police Academy films, and Short Circuit. I'm just gay for Guttenberg, I guess.

The Three Amigos was very funny.
I liked Roxanne as well.
Ah wasn't Steve Martin great back then.
