::Rants-An 80's Education I am trying to introduce my Gen Y house mate into the richness that was 80's movies. Below is a compilation of movies that we are including in our "80's Movie Festival" to give him a snapshot of 80's pop culture. Yes there is a bias towards sci fi, but that is me.
With that in mind, I wonder what your thoughts are? Will he be getting a quintessential snapshot of the 80's? What would you lose/include?
