I feel a tribute showing of Weird Science coming on.
What a lovely story
Ferris Bueller and Breakfast Club were fantastic 80s movies. I wanted to be Ferris Bueller.
I think his movies captured the essence on what it was like growing up in the 80s.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles is one of my favs.
You can still remember what time of day you went to see Ferris Bueller's Day off at, at which cinema?
Funnily enough yeah, because of my burd at the time.
It was Enfield Odeon, a Thursday in '85 I believe.
Breakfast Club was at Odeon Leicester Square.
I thought you meant you could remember the actual date and that it was 3.35...

My life was just like that in the 80s - I had a nightmare with transportation
"Drugs?"
"No thank you."

"No. What are you in here for?"
"Drugs."

Economics Teacher: In 1930, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, in an effort to alleviate the effects of the... Anyone? Anyone?... the Great Depression, passed the... Anyone? Anyone? The tariff bill? The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act? Which, anyone? Raised or lowered?... raised tariffs, in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression. Today we have a similar debate over this. Anyone know what this is? Class? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone seen this before? The Laffer Curve. Anyone know what this says? It says that at this point on the revenue curve, you will get exactly the same amount of revenue as at this point. This is very controversial. Does anyone know what Vice President Bush called this in 1980? Anyone? Something-d-o-o economics. "Voodoo" economics.
I suppose looking back I would have watched Pretty in Pink and Breakfast Club the most, have a liking for Weird Science, if for no other reasons than the teenage stirrings driven by a certain miss LeBrock.
'So, what do you two little maniacs want to do first?'
'This is a 1965 Ferrari California GT. There are only 25 in the world. My father spent 10 years restoring this one. It is his love, it is his passion-'
'It is his fault he did not lock the garage'
'You don't understand Ferris. He loves this car more than his family'
'A man with his priorities so far out of whack doesn't deserve such a fine autombile'
