The 80's...

I am a proud 80's child. In that, there are movies, music, and key phrases from that point in my life that I think are AMAZING. They have wholly made me who I am today. With that, some outstanding movies from the 80's include: 16 Candles, Pretty in Pink, Adventures in Babysitting, Beetlejuice, The Breakfast Club, Children of the Corn, Coming to America, Empire Strikes Back, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Ghostbuster's, Goonies, The NeverEnding Story (my FAV), Poltergeist, Terminator, Willow, and a slew of other things, but these mean the most to me. 

Then, there's music: Bette Davis Eyes, Jesse's Girl, Eye of the Tiger, Every Breath You Take, Total Eclipse of the Heart, Come on Eileen, When Doves Cry, Uptown Girl, Like a Virgin, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, Take on Me, Addicted to Love, Sledgehammer, I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight, Sweet Child of Mine, Simple Irresistible, and soooo many others. 

Music and movies make up such a large part of what a person likes and who they become as adults. It defines what I really love: Ah Ha, The NeverEnding Story, Poltergeist (eeek scary movies!), and Willow (oooh science fiction!). It's outstanding when you think about what you may have revered as a child and think about how that has dictated your interests as an adult. 

What commonalities have you noticed?
