Don't need to go further than that one, depending on how old your are. First time I saw it was in a drive in with two cases of Milwaukee's Best and friends crushed in the trunk to save some cash. Never has a movie brough back such memories. Lordy, after this thread, I can't imagine growing up in any decade other than the 80's. Dorky yes, but DAMN we got away with a hell of a lot and it was all fun. Innocent in it's own way as well, as this generation will never know. I'd hate to be a kid today. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change when I grew up, even if it made me live longer. 80's will NEVER die. And all the songs in the poll?? Love them all for each and every different moment/memory they bring. Damn I need to get out of the past!!! Where the hell is my old SVO!!!!

Those are good choices, but I'd go with some thing from Duran Duran. 80's tunes rule...:bowdown:
