Throwback Thursday

Here's some super cool throwback memories! All 80s except the first picture is from the early 90s, I think 1991. Enjoy!












I am totally seriously laughing as I type this. Remember the Jenny Jones Show? God, it was so bad. Not Jerry Springer bad, but bad enough.














This is the perfect picture! A trucker hat that says the word DUDE. Do you still say "Dude"? I find myself saying it a lot. Probably way more than I should.















Remember the Bruce Springsteen video "Dancing in the Dark" when Courteney Cox was "pulled on stage from the audience"?? I don't believe that for a second. I think it was totally for the video and who could forget those awesome dance moves? Swing those arms, Courteney!

















Corey Hart is the only one allowed to wear his "Sunglasses at Night" in my book.
















"Well isn't that special?"
















A Flock of Seagulls! Who could forget that hair? OMG!
















Oooh, baby I think I love ya from head to toe!















I loved this show so much!!! Remember the theme song?
"You Can Count on Me!"















She's Out of Control! I loved this movie!!! Love me some Danza!

1983 Movies

Enjoy a flashback to 1983~ lots of cool movies to remember!








When I see this movie poster I automatically think of Olivia Newton John's song, "Twist of Fate"














But Dad, You're Doing It Wrong!



















Anyone remember this movie with Phoebe Cates?




















The Big Chill was such a great movie!



















Yep, A Christmas Story came out in the year 1983! Oh, such fun memories with this film. I especially like the leg lamp (fragile) and "eat like the piggies" and the tongue getting stuck to the pole. I also liked it when Ralphie accidentally said, "FUDGE" (we know what he really said) and he had to wash his mouth out with soap. Great movie!



















Talk about a tearjerker! Still, I had to mention this movie, it did win an academy award afterall!















Wargames!!!
















Who doesn't love Chuck Norris?
















Tom Cruise in his underwear in 1983 = pretty cool
Tom Cruise in his underwear in 2010 = not so cool

1980s Christmas Memories

Enjoy this walk down Christmas memory lane! 80s style!













The Best Christmas Pageant Ever! This was a favorite movie of mine when I was little!















Who didn't love A Very Brady Christmas? The only thing missing was Susan Olsen. No offense to Jennifer Runyon, but you simply aren't Cindy Brady.













This timeless classic will stick with all of us forever!














Do you remember listening to The Chipmunk Christmas Album? All I can remember is the following lyrics..."Christmas Christmas Time Is Here, Time For Joy and Time For." That's it, that's all I remember.















Ahh, THE LEG from A Christmas Story!!! lol FRAGILE!















Does it get any better than Kenny and Dolly?















Wait. What? A Twisted Sister Christmas? Does anyone remember wanting this much less actually having it?

1984 Movies: The Sequel (Part Two)

1984 was such a great year for movies that I had to break up this post into 2 parts! Enjoy!










Who didn't love Meatballs Part Two?




















Purple Rain movie = ok
Purple Rain Soundtrack = AMAZING!



















Remember this movie with Bruce Willis and Kim Basinger?




















Do you remember the 3 rules for Gizmo?


















Did you want to be a mermaid back in 1984?



















The Neverending Stoooooooory~ too good not to mention!















And concluding our little trip down 1984 movie lane is "Children of the Corn."
You weren't expecting that one were you?

1984 Movies Part One (There's so many good ones!)

1984 was another very good year for movies! Check 'em out! Great entertainment for the 10 year old girl I was back then. Totally!












Romancing the Stone was action packed and totally appropriate for a 10 year old, right? I mean there were only a couple of romantic scenes, a little smokage of some weed, booze and violence. Other than that, it was totally good clean fun.















I heart Jake Ryan.















Didn't you just love Louis Skolnick? The Tri-Lambs were awesome! Can you tell I'm a nerd?















Is it weird that I remember hearing the song "Cruel Summer" by Bananarama in this movie? Also, Wax On...Wax Off....Come on, you know I had to say it.












Who Ya Gonna Call?















Now this movie soundtrack was really awesome!!! Which song was your favorite?
A) Footloose
B) Let's Hear it For the Boy
C) Holding Out For A Hero
D) Dancing in the Sheets
E) Almost Paradise
F) I'm Free (Heaven Helps the Man)
G) Hurts So Good
H) Waiting For a Girl Like You
I) Metal Health (haha, I just had to throw in the Quiet Riot song)







Stay Tuned for 1984 Movies Part Two. To Be Continued...

1985 movies (5th grade)

SO,yep, these are the movies that came out in the year 1985. I'll admit some of these movies may have been a bit mature for a 10-11 year old, but I could pass for 13 years old. Isn't this the year that the PG-13 rating appeared? I've got some funny stories about some of these movies. Isn't it funny about the things we remember from being a kid? Enjoy!










This is the only movie I ever remember seeing in the movie theater with my Dad. We never went to another movie my entire life. I can remember him wanting to go see "Throw Momma From the Train" and I had no interest in seeing that at all. I kind of wish I had gone to see it with him now, so I could at least say I've seen 2 movies with my Dad.

















My Mom took me to go see this movie in 1985. I will never forget this. Remember the scene where they are all partying and drinking, sending people in the closet to make out and pouring whipped cream all over each other? My Mom yanked me out of the movie theater seat and made us leave deeming the movie X rated.

















One of my absolute favorite movies from 1985! I loved when they ruined Natalie's coming out party! WAKE UP THE NEIGHBORHOOD!
















This has got to be one of the worst movies EVER! But, I wanted to see it because Madonna was in it. This was before I figured out that she was going to be a badass singer, but a terrible actress.















Remember the movie "Seven Minutes in Heaven"??






















Goonies Never Say Die!





















Remember Jim Carrey and Lauren Hutton in this hilarious vampire comedy? Remember the dance off in the gym to the song "Hands Off".??
















Remember the movie "The Last Dragon"?? SHO NUFF!
















Oh man, this movie was absolutely hilarious. If you haven't seen it, it's a must! Be prepared to laugh! Yes, I would consider this movie cheesy, but to be fair it is from 1985.














OMG, who didn't LOVE this movie? The Breakfast Club is such a classic!















Another awesome movie from John Cusack! 1985 was a great year for movies!

6th grade movies (yes I'm backtracking)

I realized when I got to my 9th grade year, that the 80s were over, so I am now going backwards from 6th grade to 1st grade movies. (1986-1980). I should've started with 1980 to begin with but whatever. Here's a look at memorable movies from 1986, my 6th grade year. I own every single one of these movies and find myself watching them on a regular basis; that is except one. Can you guess which movie I rarely watch?












This is without a doubt my most favorite movie in the whole wide world. I love it and I could watch it everyday. For those of you who haven't seen it and who have access to Netflix, stream it into your queue and watch it TODAY!!!
















"I Feel the Need, the Need for Speed!"















This is such a classic movie! Tom Hanks and Shelley Long have such great chemistry! Very funny!

















Another favorite movie of mine! This was when Corey Haim was still innocent! Kerri Green and Charlie Sheen were also in another movie together called "Three For the Road." Remember that one?















Howard THE Duck! You shot an arrow through my heart...Howard THE Duck!
















Bueller...Bueller...Remember Jennifer Grey played the little sister in this movie?
















Were you rooting for Blaine or Ducky?















Remember this movie? For some reason I remember that dog with the cone around its neck and didn't Demi Moore sing in a night club to save her grandfather's house?
















I loved this movie! It was so unique and fun, but I have to admit that David Bowie did freak me out just a little bit.
