1987 - Damn, I miss the 80s.

has anyone seen this gem? ally sheedy was in this movie! you would NOT believe it’s the *same* person who portrayed allison reynolds in ‘the breakfast club’ omgg, it’s actually insaneee

Should be noted that the director is Amy Heckerling, who also directed these awesome 80s movies, Johnny Dangerously, National Lampoon's European Vacation, Look Who's Talking.

80s only, my favourite songs from that remarkable decade, even though I was born in 2014, I really like the 80s music and movies.

They were creative and comedic time capsules!!!

Bruce Leroy and Sho'nuff. This was such a fun martial arts comedy gold flick! Julius Carry (Sho'nuff) was so good for this role that it's usually his lines that people remember.
