My little 80s space

Here is my little space on the web about the greatest generation to me. I love the 80's and I hope you do too. The 80's were super special to me. I grew up in the 80's and it was alot of fun. All the fashions and hair styles and the music, the music was so good. People sometimes make fun of the 80's because of our hair bands etc...but now everyone craves nostalgia!

If you are craving nostalgia you have come to the right place. I will be adding any news I find on 80s stars as well as musicians etc...I have a list of some great 80's movies and some great 80's music playing for you. If you don't hear the music, please scroll down a bit and the player will load for sure. Enjoy your time here and I hope you enjoy the memories as much as I do!

Some of my favorite 80's things 

Some of my favorite 80's movies are...
Fast Times At Ridgemont High- If you haven't checked this one out yet please do! Sean Penn was great in this as well as Phoebe Cates and Jennifer Jason Leigh.

Hollywood Shuffle- A cool little comedy. Starring, Robert Townsend, Keenen Ivory Wayans and Helen Martin.

Fire with Fire- My personal favorite 80's movie and romance in general. Starring a very young Virginia Madsen, Craig Sheffer and Jon Polito.

Another super popular tv show from the 80s was Full House! Memories =)
