The #1 reason why I love the 80s...

It's not the hair






it's not the clothing





and it's not the Coreys (Feldman was way cooler than Haim!)















It has to be the movies!!

This one has it all (see trailer below)--a flying Delorean, creatures from another planet, a wise old man, and a kid trying to follow his dreams by getting out of "this dead-end town" while simultaneously trying to get the girl who is also being courted by the meat-head with the nice car.

Most importantly, this particular movie answers a very important question--can video games prepare us for things that we do in real life?

Lol, freakin' Last Starfighter as an example of transfer to real life skill sets! Awesome, Beth, you've got my vote for best post.
