80s nostalgia FTW

[boomqueen]

I've got a favor to ask of my brilliant and bounteous flist!

My brain got hijacked by an awesome vid bunny a few days ago and I need your help: I would absolutely love it if everyone would comment with their favorite cheesy eighties movie(s), particularly ones that feature absolutely hilariously bad 80's outfits.

I'm talking both the classics (like John Hughes and John Cusack and Ferris Bueller's and Back to the Futures, etc.) and the guilty pleasures (like Teen Witch and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and Bill and Ted's). The worse the outfits and hairstyles are, the better for me.

So tell me your faves! Don't be afraid to mention specific characters or scenes. I need your help to make the awesomest nostalgia vid ever :)

I was totally going to say Some Kind of Wonderful! The kiss in the garage! :) and Miss Amanda Jones's miniskirt outfits. Pretty in Pink's prom dress obviously and Sixteen Candles for sure. What about Can't Buy Me Love when McDreamy is on a riding mower wearing a cowboy hat? She's Having a Baby? I'm sure I'll think of some more! I have a 2 cd compilation called 'Awesome 80's' Interested?

Oooooh, Can't Buy Me Love is totally perfect! The blond girl and her popular sidekicks had tons of terrible outfits and hairstyles! *twirls you*

I hadn't thought of She's Having a Baby though, good one. Oh! And what was that other Kevin Bacon rom-com...He Said She Said, that's it!

Hehe, Ah yes, He Said, She said. I thought I had the soundtrack to that too but I can't find it. I'm feeling a need to flashback to high school and watch some classic John Hughes. ;) Oh wait, what about the John Cusack one with Demi Moore where he is a cartoonist and they need to raise money to save a restaurant or something? One Crazy Summer? And Say Anything? But that's '89 so nearly out of the woods on bad outfits. And there was a road trip one with John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga, The Sure Thing. Vision Quest, About Last Night, Heathers, Breakin', Weird Science, Risky Business, Two of a Kind, War Games. C. Thomas Howell and Lori Loughlin in Secret Admirer. Ok wow, did I just reveal entirely too much about myself? LOL
