80's Baby Box Office



All those born or that grew up in the 80's, do you look around feeling as if you are the big kid of the neighborhood that all the little kids try imitate?  For most of you young cluckers, being an 80's Baby is some sort of a new phenoma or fashion statement. However, for a select few of us we are blessed to be the ginuwine article. So while everyone is running to the mall to get the latest vintage wear, we just reach in the closet, dust off a few articles of clothing and watch the rest of you go nuts when we arrive. This post is dedicated to all my real 80's Babies as we take a trip "Back to the Future" to look at a few movies you may have forgotten about. 



Beverly Hills Cop

1984 started the comical accounts of Alex Foley, a Detroit detective, helping out in the investigation of his friend's death thousands of miles out of his jurisdiction in Beverly Hills California. 




E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

ET...........Phone home (no Wayne is not the originator sorry). No one can forget seeing Elliot take off on his bike and fly pass the moon as he tries to save E.T from the police. 



Batman

While everyone is still in awe of Heath Ledgers performance as joker, let's not forget the original Joker, Mr. Anger Management himself Jack Nicholson. Don't get me wrong, Dark Knight (link to best of 08) is phenomenal movie and Heath Ledger gave an impeccable performance. But hands down Jack takes the cake! (Who do you think was the best? Vote for your favorite Joker, right under the subscribe on the right side of the page)



The Breakfast Club 

Who thought detention could ever be this fun. Five misfits serving Saturday detention in the school library, what possible trouble could they get into? Obviously you have no idea who you are dealing with.




Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

Yo can not convince me that you wouldn't enjoy having the ability to step into a phone booth and go where ever you please. For those of you who don't know, think of Ashton Kutcher and Sean William Scott staring in Jumper, but using a telephone booth to travel through time. Trust me, you are in for one totally awesome adventure.



Back to the Future

"Good morning, look at the valedictorian
scared of the future, as I hop in the Deleroean"
Good Morning by Kanye West

Had no idea what Mr. West was referencing did you? Watch as Marty McFly and Doc Brown race through time in one of the Flyist cars know to man, in the 80's take on the Time Machine. I wish I had a car like that for my first car.



Risky Business

Parents away for the weekend, house to yourself, and enough grocery money to last you a month mmmmmmm.............what to do? All I can say is Tom Cruise might have been spending to much time with Snoop and Dujan Won.
