    I own Adventures in Babysitting on both VHS and DVD! It truly is one of the best movies of all time.
    Don't **** with a babysitter!

    Wow - I haven't thought about Adventures in Babysitting in *years*! I used to watch it all the time! I'd have to add Raiders of the Lost Ark, Ghostbusters, and Goonies to your list, too. I love, love, love 80's movies!

    Even though I have seen it many times, I still get pumped when Daniel defeats Johnny during the climax of "The Karate Kid".


    #5 on your list taught me some very valuable lessons. The most important one is "Don't f*** with the babysitter".



    If you don't already have it, I highly recommend a book that covers the teen movies of the 1980s called "Pretty In Pink".

    I love Sixteen Candles! Love the soundtrack and that cute guy.

    Great movies from the 80s, I loved anything with Molly Ringwald, in fact, I wanted to be Molly when I was a teen.
    Hope you'll drop by for my TTs

    Nearly perfect list! I'd add "The Sure Thing" and "Ghostbusters" for sure, but I must have watched "Adventures IN Babysitting" 8 billion times!
  • Kelsey · 1 year ago
    Ah Sixteen candles! Love it!
  • Nessa · 1 year ago
    Oh gawd, I liked Adventures in Babysitting the first 2 times i saw it. By the time my sisters forced me to watch it the next 50 times....i got over it.
  • Anna · 1 year ago
    Don't forget "Say Anything"! When Lloyd stands out with his boom box blasting "In Your Eyes"....
  • Elaine · 1 year ago

    Happy TT and I have my 13 pet peeves posted too!!
  • mrsbear0309 · 1 year ago
    Great list, some of my faves are on there too. I'd probably add Weird Science and One Crazy Summer. And I won't even go into the horror genre, I watched ALOT of scary movies in the 80's. ;-)

    I'm a day late in commenting. My favorites from that decade include Goonies and A View to a Kill.
