Best 80s movies and tv moments
« on: December 30, 2008, 02:39:41 pm »
So the plan is for me to have an '80s themed birthday party this year.  I'm gonna crank up the stereo with some killer 80s tunes, put the cab in the party room, get everyone dressed up in cheesy 80s garb, etc, etc.

I plan to have a long montage of classic 80s movie/tv clips running on our big TV all night. I've found some good stuff on youtube already, but would like some suggestions on what to add to it.

I've so far got some montages of 80s TV adverts, and some TV show intros.  The only classic scene I've downloaded so far is the bit in Knight Rider where Kitt fights Karr :)

So.... any suggestions?   Any cool classic cheesy moments from TV or movies you can think of?

 :cheers:

I loved V! I didn't know they had a second series. I wish SciFi channel would pick the mini-series up and re-air them. I remember being terrified every night when I was a little kid, yet I would go right back and watch it the next day. No way was I going to miss it.

In any case, browse Fast Rewind for a fairly comprehensive list of 80's flicks. I'm sure a casual perusal of the title list will bring a lot of films to mind. :)
