Best "Wanna be 80s'" Film

Postby 80sPartyboy » Fri Apr 22, 2005 4:44 pm

Over the last 10 years there have been many films that celebrate the 80's for music or pop icons,etc...

What has been your favorite since 1995? Mine below and yes I saw Molly in that atrocious film in which she appeared at the end.

My vote goes to "The Wedding Singer," simply because I can't think of any film that TRIES to capture the era. Although what is Musical Youth (1982) doing paired with the Cure which was generally post 1984-1985? [xx(]

Ehhhh...

If you're interested in the late 80's, then "24 hour Party People" is all right.

200 Cigarettes. Not very good, but it was set on new year's eve 1981 I think. Great music.

well, I was a teen in the late 80s, so [i]Donnie Darko[/i] felt the most accurate in capturing the era for me.

Loved [i]24 Hour Party People[/i] and [i]Gia[/i]. (Does [i]Gia[/i] counts even though it was made for HBO?)
