Thanks for the add! Also, I just realized that I never commented on this fabulous vid of yours. Kudos for going beyond the usual John Hughes fare to include some lesser known favorites of mine like Adventures in Babysitting and One Crazy Summer.

Thanks so much! I am a huge fan of TONS of 80s movies so I'm glad the more obscure stuff is appreciated by others as well :D
