Page 1 of Your Favourite Cheesy 80`s Flicks..........Puhlease???.................

I just settled down to watch THE LOST BOYS on DVD SE and i`ve got to say - it`s still a great movie!!!

All those years of work and slavery and i`ve forgotten quite a few of my favs from the era of large shoulder pads and even larger mobile phones!!

So I need your recommendations for ultra-amazing cheesy flicks from the 80`s - i`ll start by offering :

Buy and Cell - starring the guy from Revenge of the Nerds, Rowdy Roddy Piper and Malcolm McDowell - about a stockbroker who`s framed for insider trading and once in jail talks his fellow inmates into starting up a stock-broking house inside!!!! multiple laughs later - we see our heroes (and mass murderers) reaping the benefits by having a jacuzzi party with lots of hookers in jail!!

Unfortunately this treasure is still unavailable on DVD!! - but it`s a randomly stupid movie!! that had a great effect on my life - years later when I think back to my arrest and future insider trading deals - I look back with affection. Aaaahhh!!!

Yours, In Jest

either they made the best films ever during that period or my ma kept me so whacked out on high strenght cordial drinks but i loved nearly everything i saw back then.
I rented critters more often than was good for me, liked meatballs, mannequin, licence to drive, dream a little dream (which is the purest s***e) can`t buy me love (excellent), water, club paradise, weekend at bernies, summer job, and thats just off the top of my head.. .
give me a couple of hours on the IMDB and I`ll shame myself so I`ll leave it there..
oh, apart from Troll..

Puhlease.... Mannequin? Nothing`s gonna stop us now ;)

I even bought the single!
