Thanks for playing along! Because I am a list lover and maker I immediatley started my own list after I posted this one. Don't worry, the 80's are properly represented :) I'm still working on it, so I probably won't post it for a week or two. It's harder than I thought it would be!
Might I suggest not only the Breakfast Club but also Say Anything? I'm a sucker for 80s movies. Jeff missed out on most of them and I'm having a hard time convincing him they're the most awesome ever!
I'm scratching my head over that list. Seriously. Terminator 2 is a must see movie before I die? Um . . .
I must say the list is very disapointing (I am over 40 lol). And I have seen may be 3 films I'd put on my list. I really don't think Snow White is one I'd like to see before I die (watched it 100s of times with my daughter). Where are films like "Quadrophenia", "The Clockwork Orange" or "1984"??? Good luck with your list
