The Best 80s Music Videos

It's a bit odd to think that the first true generation of music videos are only about 25-35 years old. In some ways, it's both not so long ago and also a very distant past. Time-wise, not so long. Technologically and broadcast-wise, you've come a lon...

Labyrinth

Where everything seems possible and nothing is what it seems. This has been one of my favorite movies since the first time I saw it in 1986. I loved it as a child and still do as an adult.

80's Cartoons: The Ultimate Childhood Regression Tactic

Perhaps it's the tunnelvision that comes with a bit of nostalgia. Maybe it's that we once believed in the Power of Grayskull. Whatever it was, there was something magic about those 80s cartoons.

Walnut Grove Explodes

I Love Skippy from Family Ties

Look at him.  He's adorable...the smile, the dimples.  And, to top it off, he is the sweetest guy you've ever met.  I would marry Skippy in a split second, but that little hussy Mallory would rather Nick.  Nick?!?!?!  Dumb as...

We love Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Perhaps he broke rules, but Ferris did so in such a good-natured likable way, that who could be mad. His charm, quick wit, and skill at persuasion prove to make Ferris Bueller's day off a memorable one for all of us.
