I loved Caroline's Friday Five this week...favorite 80s movies. That was possibly my favorite decade for movies. I couldn't limit myself to five, so I'm listing eight movies from the 80s that I have watched and rewatched, and I cannot possibly surf past them if I see one playing on TV.
When Harry Met Sally - 1989 favorite scene: the dinner where they're trying to fix each other up with their best friends.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off - 1986 favorite scene: the parade, definitely
The Princess Bride - 1987 favorite scene: the battle of wits with the Sicilian...inconceivable!
Baby Boom - 1987 favorite scenes: finding out her well is dry...'I'm tired of being yupped and noped by you guys...another five thousand...aaaahhhh!' ...and then regaining consciousness in the vet's office, 'I wasn't going to put you to sleep or anything.'
Local Hero - 1983 favorite scene: every single one!
Crossing Delancey - 1988
favorite scene: dinner at Bubbe's
And my absolute favorite (I actually have a leg lamp, people!) is
Most of those I love. Two I haven't seen. (Same ones as Niki)
Trev told a friend the other day that if he said the f-word that I'd wash his mouth out with soap. I told him that he has, in his life, said the word - sans soap. I think he thinks Ralphie's experience is his own. :)

Thanks for joining in, Kath - there's quite a few there that I haven't seen, so I will add them to my list.
ReplyDeleteI've not seen Local Hero, or Crossing Delancey, so I'll look for them :)
