MOFO 80's Teen Movie Hall of Fame

Hi Everyone - MovieGal here,

The rules are simple

- The film must have been made from 1980 to 1989.
- It must contain a lead character who is a teen.
- The film can be set in any era such as "Back to The Future" or "Outsiders"
- It can be of any genre - 80's Teen Horror is most welcome to join with Teen Romance, Teen Comedy and Teen Action.
- Everyone who nominates a film, will watch and rate the other nominee's film.


I want to make this a fun Hall of Fame so please any open discussions about music from the films, quizzes and even our own fun stories of being a teen is welcome.

I was a teen during this time and I graduated high school in 1985 so perhaps I will even share my senior picture from then. This is open to everyone, remember the more the merrier!

Enjoy and Have Fun!!!!

A BIG thanks to @Citizen Rules for helping me. We have been talking about this on and off for a while... You are a great support and friend.

I'll have to give this one some serious thought. I have a feeling that I'd hate majority of nominations but will need to investigate a bit further than my prejudices. Right off the bat I can't think more than a handful I've liked so no promises about joining but it's possible.

Actually, that sounds kind of fun. I graduated in '82 so there's a good chance I've seen a large chunk of films from then that I watched during that time and it may be a lot of fun to do a revisit.

In fact, right off the top of my head, I may already have a nom ready to go.

Suspect's Reviews

I hope someone nominates Heathers...I have yet to see it.

Odds on how many John Hughes films get nominated?

I'm picking last. I want to make sure I pick a rarely seen film.

Im in sounds great

Most know Pretty In Pink and The Breakfast Club are 2 of my favs and they will be up for grabs. I think I have my nom already.

You should join. You might find some new ones you enjoy.

@Yoda ....

You should join!

Great job MovieGal. I like the whole 80s teen theme, so many awesomely cool teen movies from the 80s, this will be fun!

I like that there's 3 weeks to decide on a movie nomination. That gives me lots of time try and pick a good one

Join!

You and MovieGal are youngins I did graduate from high school in the 80s too

Join & nominate it! I love that film. So you know you have one postive review on it.

He doesn't do things....

I'm not going to nominate a film I haven't seen!!!

That works for me Think I might watch your nom for the 17th Hof, hopefully I'll like it, I think I might.

I went to a little High School in the 80's, probably was supposed to graduate around 1988. I'm a maybe.

I am IN!

The fun for me will be picking the film. I may go with a more commercially known film just so it gets reassessed. Some real beauties out there...

Come on bro, join. You have to

Hughes will pretty much be a given for high school 80's flicks. lol Which is fine there are some great ones by him.
And having someone nominate Heathers would be great. Been forever since I saw that one and I have a feeling you'd kick outta of it. And if not, well, "F@ck me gently with a chainsaw."

@Citizen Rules said: You and MovieGal are youngins I did graduate from high school in the 80s too

Whatever, grandpa does The Home know you're using their computer?

You are older but by very little, my friend.

I probably will. Even though I'd like to make a dent in my watchlist, I think this is a great idea.
