Mine was, Less than Zero. Lot of rich kids with drugs. I do not regret any of it, but it was a "wild time".

Last American Virgin! I still get angry at that movie! I was always the friend. Then when I would try to take a chance "you are such a good friend!" Thats the kiss of death! Now smarter and older, I look back and think if I played things different I could

"The Sure Thing." After I got pretty serious about school I stopped going to the NW clubs and became a bit of a priss like the preppy girl in "The Sure Thing." (Daphne Zuniga, not Nicolette Sheridan.) Fortunately I was wooed by a wacky, funny John Cusa

I'm going with Breakfast Club also. I don't identify with any of those characters, but I was friends with people from all those different cliques. Actually, if we can throw TV shows in, I was sort of a cross between Marshall, Johnny Slash and Lauren from

My life in the 80s was a mixture of a lot of 80s movies-I really identified the most with coming of age movies like Mystic Pizza,Shag the Movie(not the British meaning of the word!), Say Anything, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Hairspray, and Pretty in Pin

Red Dawn, I remember fighting the commies while living in the Colorado Mountains like it was yesterday. I'm just glad we won that war, because I wasn't looking foward to raising Lea Thompson's kids in the wilderness.
