I admit, I enjoy... 80's Movies


I love 80's movies, the romantic comedies, the teenage movies, comedies, horror, etc.

And I am sure this is not all of them, but just a few that I still remember. But it seemed that back in the 80's when I was a pre-teen I spent most of my time watching TV and Movies. It was an obsession, and even when the 90's where starting I would continue going to the Video Rental Place and choosing 80's movies. I remember there was a time, maybe a particular summer when my aunt would go to the video rental place and we would choose about 7 movies and we would watch them back to back to back. It was crazy, but I loved it, and it is part of many fond memories of my childhood.

This post made me realize how different movies where back then and I also realized how many of these movies I liked and they where action movies. Currently I don't watch many action movies anymore, mainly because it's just one explosion after the other and the high tech capabilities of this decade makes them way too much. I don't know, maybe I should give action movies of today a little brake, who knows, I might like them.

What are your favorite 80's movies?
