Vote at the bottom.
I didn't expect to see Valley Girl in the list since I don't consider it "forgotten".
<font size="1">[b]Favorites of 2008 (so far):[/b]
Beach House - Devotion
British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music?
Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours
Crystal Stilts - Crystal Stilts
Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid

Three O'Clock High was really good. I actually went to the theatre and saw Real Genius when it was released.

I'm adding "Three O'Clock High" to my Netflix queue. Any other suggestions from the list?

Speaking of 80's movies, Netflix have made a bunch of the "Troma Entertainment" movies available to their "Watch Now" feature. Anyone rememeber the "Toxic Avenger" series?

The Wild Life was pretty good. Other than that, There's not much on that list(other than Valley Girl) that I'd bother with. Not on the list but worth tracking down are River's Edge and Dudes.

A comedy geared at teens from 1980 "Hollywood Knights". It was good back when I was a teen. Haven't seen it for years so I don't know if it translates well from liking it as a teen and as an adult. Where are "Hardbodies", "Zapped", and "Just One Of The Guys" at on the voting list?

I've lose count of the number of times I've seen Valley Girl since it came out, I'm sick of it (and I Melt With You). Like others, I voted Three O'Clock High (though Real Genius came close). "Better Off Dead" should definitely be on there though, it'd get my vote.

Oh yes...the classic rendition of "Volare".
We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

Yes...yes...with Newbomb Turk (I think that was his name) trying to mouth the words "my dick is in the punch" through the window!

"My Tutor", serious bonerama movie with Caren Kaye doing more than hitting the books with her pupil.[:p]
