The epitome of the 80s on the small and big screen

Freddy Kruger- the bad guy slasher of the 80s.



When he wasn't listening to the Walkman with his teenage pals.

Doesn't this photo just scream 1980s?

A very young Patricia Arquette, posing for the camera on the set of the third Freddy movie.

This totally had the late 80's groove goin' on...





No pain, no gain...I remember that phrase. :)

Ahhh, the dream child (this kid later turned up in Jurassic Park and Mikey)...

This movie was SO 80s. I always wanted a bedroom like Sarah's (the little girl obsessed with Thor)...

TETSUO!





Too cool...for school...

Ah, the 80s. A time when a deformed muppet-looking thing could be considered a main character on a family-frindly sitcom.



Poor boy. Wearing a Bill Cosby-esque sweater and immortalized on film.

Super-mom with a gun!

Very late 80s, and you can tell what was in stock for the early 90s. A slightly different flavor of crap.

Ahhh, the beginning of true-crime shows. When America was figuring out strangers could be mean and the beginning of the serial killer hysteria.

"Soaring high in the skkkkies. He may be small, but only in size... Astro BOY! ASTRO BOY!...He is brave and gentle and wise..."

Back to the Future. Back when people thought the future would be cool, and before the apocalypse-hype of the mid 90s (which is still going strong).

Of course, this time they had to go to the actual future... and what do you know... the future looks a lot like the 80s, except the skateboards can fly!

This cartoon capitalized on the success of the 1988 movie, but a big part of the 80s was making a buck...

Tom Hanks as a boy stuck in a man's body. Who somehow manages to make it Big in the world of toy design.



Wow, a really crappy transformer- it's a sky-scraper that turns into a robot... or something....

No comment needed.

A really bad early 80s horror movie about evil, killer children.

I loved this SO much when I was a kid. Especially this part...



Kids are insane. I used to jump up and down when it got to the part where the screen is green and the green... like anybody cares.

But it was at about... 1:27 or so. And yeah, I used to sing this at the top of my little-girl lungs.

Oooh, remember the cheesy toys of the 80s? This movie certainly knew that 80s toys were just plain weird. Watch this commercial and you'll see the inspiration for Chucky...



Yes. That was before Chucky.

And now, Chucky (see the similarities?)

Again, this movie screamed 80s (I am going to stop writing comments for a lot of these and just include pics)

This picture freaks me out.

This kid is SO 1985, right down to the way he talks and acts. Yeah, I know he is supposed to be a robot. Still.



Oh, and this song from the movie is so, so 80s..


"Somewhere I belong" by Teddy Pendergrass.

Die Hard. Good memories...one of my fave christmas movies...

Doogie Howser, boy doctor. Genius. Bad 80s hair. You have the whole parcel with Doogie Howser.



I don't care how smart he is, I wouldn't want a 14 year old brat in charge of my medical care.

"EEEE-TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"



Oh, this made me CRY SO HARD when I was little. I just sobbed and sobbed, until I figured out he was alive, and then I was running around in circles (I was 4 or 5)...



I wish they would make more movies like E.T.

Oh Ferris, you aren't sick!

This was a sad movie.

Here is part 1, you can find the rest on youtube.



It's about a little hemophiliac boy that develops AIDS from a blood transfusion. You have been warned.

Nananana- NA NA! Na na na na- na na! NUH NUH NUH NUH NUH NUH NUH NUH NUUUUH!

Another great X-Mas movie.

The above, btw, is why Gizmo was named Gizmo (no kidding)!

Only part of this I liked was when Leo Di Caprio came along in the early 90s.

Awww, this was cute...when I was 5.

This show was cool. And I liked the intro music.

I loved this show. The one episode I saw.



Plus 80 cop show intros are pretty nifty.

Nobody seems to remember this show, but I do! Siblings would be on teams and sit in these fake cars (I think the colors were green, blue and red) and answer questions to see how much they knew about their sibling. I have a fraternal twin sister and even though we are like night and day, I always thought I would ace this show. Plus the prizes looked so cool!



I am pretty sure this was filmed in Canada, too.

David Bowie and Jim Henson creatures! Oh YEAH!

The devil in this scared me when I was about 5 and my mother took this back to the video rental store.

Corky was in this, right? Corky is the only part I remember.

Wow, I watched a lot of garbage...

I thought this movie was pretty awesome. And I liked the track by Tangerine Dream, too. I think it was Tangerine Dream...



Even as a tiny kid, I knew how hot (in an 80s way!) William Peterson was in this.

If you have seen this, even one time, you'll never forget the horrible intro music...



I guessed his secret identity...He's a Douchebag!

Shakes head... the more of this list I add to, the more I see why I started drinking before the legal age...



I actually remember the FIRST time I saw this. It was the middle of winter and I had locked myself out of the house and...yeah.

Oh, this was so awesome. On of those shows you would watch in private, and you'd be embarrassed if someone knew you liked this... haha!



Haha. I know where most of this was filmed.

Shoot me.



How much did they spend on the special effects? 20 bucks?

This was actually sort of fun.

Pee Wee! Alright! And he had the BEST BIKE EVER!







I watched this movie, over and over and over and over...
