Oh, also Flashdance and The Secret of My Success. I had such a huge crush on Michael J. Fox when I was eleven.
I'll never forget when it finally dawned on me that the super-funny window-dressing sidekick was flamingly gay (there are just some jokes you don't get when you're young and clueless *g*).
Haha, I bet that was a life-changing moment! I grew up in a queer household, so I didn't really notice when characters were gay. It was just like it didn't occur to me either way, unless they were blatantly snogging someone either of the same sex or different.
ETA: I just joined an 80's comm that's been a lot of fun, in case you're interested. Either way I'd love to pimp your vid there if that's OK with you.
