Even though I grew up in the seventies, I remember most of the list smile

Actually I believe that the Rubics cube was more seventies than eighties.

Ahhh meeeemooorriiieeeesss!!! it's all flooding back now. Nearly everything in your list was bang on 80s, the only few I didn't know about must have been in the US and not UK. also I'm not sure if i can recall ever wearing biker shorts under my skirt to feel stylish. hehehe!

now where did I put my Goonies DVD? i just have to watch it now.

I can't help watch the Lord of the Rings films without pointing at Sean Austin and shouting out, "But where's One Eyed Willy?" (which I still think sounds incredibly rude 22 years on - hehehe)

Oh, 2 other classic 80s films to add to your list:
• Desperately Seeking Susan - which made you wanna rebel against everything
• The Breakfast Club - which made you actually WANT to get a detention

Oh yesss!
