Oh! Oh! The Breakfast Club! That was an 80's movie! Music... well, I'm not a fan of 80's music. L&S and Happy Days were about half in the 70's, half in the 80's...

Breakfast Club... heh. Perfect Facts of Life tie-in. MOlly Ringwald was in it.

And speaking of Molly Ringwald movies, Sixteen Candles and Pretty in Pink were good, too. There's also stuff like Full Metal Jacket, Batman, and the first 5 Star Trek movies.

80s music... Duran Duran, Devo, Adam Ant, Talking Heads, Twisted Sister, and there was a big Monkees revival in 1986.

80s TV... FoL (Of Course), Three's Company, ALF, Cosby Show, and WWF Wrestling were popular.

The best music video of the 80's was A-ha's 'Take on Me'. It's so cool. I practicily grew up on that song.
You should know about The Brat Pack movies(just type that up in any search engine).
Tv http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/tongue.gifretty much what everybody said above. Cheers, The Cosby Show, L.A. Law is one of my favorites.

Hey, Lovin' 80's Sitcoms, you love A-ha too? I love that video, and the song has to be my all time favorite. And I found their album 'Hunting High and Low' at a old record store. It's a tape though, so I can listen to it on my stereo. It's the best!

and (everyone tells me it's childish, but they like it anyway) u can't forget the goonies!!! (goonies never say die) and the lost boys. i actually have this test thing that was sent to me: "you know you're an 80s child if..." that's really funny. if you want me to post it, or send it to you, i can. it names all famous "fads" of the 80s.

Yeah, I have a thing about "You're an 80's child if..." too. And the Goonies is definitely a must! I was born in June of '87, so I don't remember the 80's (I remember one time from the 80's that's extrememely embarrassing so I'm not going to post it. It had nothing to do with the 80's though). Was New Kids on the Block in the 80's?

June '87?

Man... I feel old.

Anyway, NKOTB Were big in '89 and '90. So they could go either way.
