Movies made in the 80's are my absolute favorite. My favorite movie made in the 80s is a movie called 'Just one of the guys'. What is your favorite 80s flick?
Oh yeah, I almost forgot the Back to the Future series... Just the Greatest.

What can I do next?

Anything from John Hughes -- Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles and other classics. There's even a documentary out now that talks about how well he understood teenagers and how so few teen movies since have been as well written and respected.
