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 :)

Coreys FTW!!!

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.
