The Movie ‘Pretty in Pink’ is 32-Years-Old This Week
It feels weird, but it's true! The coming of age/study in social status movie Pretty in Pink with Molly Ringwald as Andie along with 'Duckie' and Blane turned 32-years-old this week and it got me to thinking about my favorite movies from the 80's... Let's see if we agree!
Here are my favorites in no particular order!

Top Gun
The summer of 1986 was magical! My friend Rebekah and I wore out the VCR watching the volleyball scene over and over and over again!
- 3
The Breakfast Club
The Breakfast Club is the quintessential movie of the 80's. Seriously, you can't have a list without including it!
- 4
E.T.
I never had a Skittle until watching E.T. in 1982. I like them... and the movie even though it scared me!
- 5
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Ferris Bueller was the modern day version of Huckleberry Finn in 1986. His exploits are still legendary!
- 6
Say Anthing
Seriously, is there anything more tragic and romantic as John Cusack serenading Ione Skye with a boombox?

St. Elmo's Fire
I thought I was going to be a lawyer after watching this movie... I also thought I was going to marry Rob Lowe.

Gremlins
My second favorite stuffed animal growing up was Gizmo... He was super cool, but he couldn't replace my beloved unicorn!

Beetlejuice
Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! I can't believe I was brave enough to type that three times in a row... Although I read it in my head, not out loud!
