I have wiped the 80's from my memory, as it has to be one of the most ridiculous eras that ever existed

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

Well, considering that on my top 5 favorite movies list the first two are:

1) The Breakfast Club
2) Back to the Future

I would say that I LOVE 80's movies. I think I like movies from the 80's better than todays movies.
