ultimate 80's movie day extravaganza!!!

it was a crazy day. we started at 830 in the morning and didn't let up till midnight. it was a relentless assault on our senses...the best the 80's had to offer (according to our nomination process). 

THE PROCESS!!!

1. nominations

2. vetoes

3. voting

4. time slots

i started out by sending a list of about 70 movies from the 80's. classics, cults favs, everything and anything, just to whet people's minds. everyone then sent back a list of 3 movies they wanted to see. i complied the list, then sent it back out for a veto round. everyone was allotted one veto. one movie that would definitely not make the final day. IF anyone had all their movies eliminated, their first pick in the voting round would automatically be chosen for viewing. then a final vote on when the 8 chosen movies would be shown.

it was a long arduous process, but a fun one.

and i present to you....our films for ultimate 80's movie day extravaganza!

830am - the breakfast club - mr wonderful made breakfast

"dear mr. vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. what we did was wrong. but we think you're crazy to make an essay telling you who we think we are. you see us as you want to see us... in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. but what we found out is that each one of us is a brain... and an athlete...and a basket case...a princess...and a criminal...does that answer your question?... sincerely yours, the breakfast club."

10am - heathers

"well fuck me gently with a chainsaw"

12pm - say anything
"lloyd dobler...all right"
also...
"that'll never be me, that'll never be me. that'll never be, never be me. NO... NO, NEVER, NEVER, EVER. and don't you EVER THINK IT"

2pm - clue

no photo proof cause i was having too good a time watching it.
"fl.....flam....flames on the side of my face. breath...breathing...heaving breaths...heaving"

4pm - better off dead
"he uses it as an excuse to put his testicles all over me!"
"excuse me?!"
"you know, like octopus? testicles?"
"ooooh, tentacles. n-t. tentacles.big difference"

6pm - beverly hills cop
"tell victor that ramon - -the fella he met about a week ago? - -tell him that ramon went to the clinic today, and i found out that i have, um, herpes simplex 10, and i think victor should go check himself out with his physician to make sure everything is fine before things start falling off on the man."

8pm - goonies
"andy, you goonie!!"

10pm - lost boys
"pray you never have to call us"
"i pray....i never have to call you"

12am - aliens

unfortunately, the 80's movie assault on my brain won, and we decided to call it quits, before we could start the last movie.



to wrap up. it was amazing. i laughed. i cried. it was better than cats. we are definitely doing this again. with another theme. 90's comedies. black and white movies. movies with male/female nudity. anything really. just an excuse to watch movies all day long and not feel terrible about it.

everyone brought some snacks to chew on, but dr.p went above and beyond, and bought 2 steamer packs of krystals. here they are in all their glory.

till next time.
