Oh yeah, let's bring back big hair, cut sweats, hypercolor shirts and slouch socks...(Ok so not the big hair....)

Let's rock some 80's trivia....my fave show....

On "You Can't Do That on Television", what were the two things that dropped out of the sky onto the actors' heads and what had to be said to activate them?

Two Words - Aqua Net!

I remember "You Can't Do That on Television". Alanis Morssett (sp?) was on that show when she was a kid. Loved Loved Love the Smurfs! I had Kangagroo Shoes - they were the coolest, had a little zipper for change.

Brat Pack - Let's see. Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall, Ally Sheady, Demey Moore, Andrew (I can't think of his last name - he was in Pretty in Pink), Robert Downey Jr, Rob Lowe. That's all I can think of right now. Brat Pack Movies - Pretty in Pink, St. Elmos Fire, 16 Candles.

Do ya'll remember The Outsiders?

I loved the Outsiders...It's funny watching those old movies.

Like Red Dawn? I loved it then, but I just can't wrap my head around it now. LOL...it's funny to watch now!

Andrew McCarthy. :redface: Have you seen Anthony Michael Hall now? HOT!

My brother LOVED Red Dawn, he wore out the VCR Tape. Being a younger sister - I enjoyed it many many many times. It is a bit far fetched, but had plenty of eye candy (i.e. C. Thomas O'Howell, Patrick Swayze - first movie I saw him in).

McCarthy! That's it - I couldn't think of his name. Who knew Anthony Michael Hall would go from the typecast "geek" to HOT! Yes, you got it right, HOT!

My sister sent my this email not long ago, and I love it!!!

The good old days!!!!!

I say agree with you! How can you NOT love that man? Yummy....hard to believe he's all grown up into a MAJOR hottie! lol.....

THANK GOD he did not kill my childhood crush and come out of the closet like Doogie...

AND I loved Jerry O'Connel even as a fat pudgy boy, now he is amazing!

Okay, I admit it...I WAS singing "Shot Through the Heart" in my head! And the fact that I was "caught" made me almost fall out of my seat laughing!

I STILL want to be a goonie!

My crush was Sean Austin - and now, BBK, you got it right...Jerry O'Connell is a cutie!

Ahh...love the 80's. I was more head banger chick and even now have to fight the urge to buy Power Ballads off the info-mercials.

Cinderella's Don't Know Whatcha Got Til It's Gone - just gets me every time.

:thumbs_down:

I love power ballads too

OMG, I love this thread! Like, totally awesome, dude!

I'm sitting here grinning like an idiot and I gotta say, I really needed that today, I've been in a mood.

And I'm still sitting here singing Shot Through The Heart to myself. HA!

I met Anthony Michael Hall when I was 16. He was filming "Johnny Be Good" and I was working in Chess King (remember that 80's flashback?) He bought a suit from me and told me I had beautiful eyes....I think I stopped breathing for about 3 or 4 minutes...LOL!

I think we lost the trivia part here...what's the question?

I think the question was What Is The Brat Pack? Which ultimately led to Anthony Michael Hall.

OH, another movie with the Brat Pack that wasn't mentioned earlier was "The Breakfast Club". Loved that movie, still watch it whenever it's on!

I own it, I love it...

I watch Sweet Sixteen, Breakfast Club, For Keeps, and Chariots of Fire on a monthly basis. That is what I do when I need to relax! I LOVE Molly Ringwald and Allie:tt2: Sheedy!

Flashbacks! Do you remember 'pinning' your jeans, long plastic fake beaded necklaces tied in a knot, keds without laces, v neck sweaters worn backwards, aquanet, Def leopard, swatch watches and wearing, like, 4 of them, valley girls (gag me with a spoon) The friday night line up?

I forgot The Pickup Artist. With Molly Ringwald and Robert Downy Jr.

Not only AquaNet, Did any of you use RAVE? It smelled better. I had the flower "Poof" and bad perm - lol

I used to tight-roll my jeans. I remember converse shoes and leg-warmers. There were some barretts (the gold ones with a slit in the middle) that my mom would put ribbon in for my hair.

Gingerbug - I loved my swatches as a kid...they were awesome!

Do you remember Garbage Pail Kids - the trading cards?

Did you ever play M-A-S-H?

I love this thread - brings back those childhood memories.

Oh and for 80's Bands - Loved, Loved, Loved Guns-N-Roses!
