The '80s Live On
From the March 22, 2015, Parade Magazine.
Cruise down memory land with the special anniversary edition of "The Sure Thing" movie being released March 24th. Actually, I've never heard of it before, but they say it was released thirty years ago and starred John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga and was described as the '80s road trip to end all road trips.
Here are some other notable '80s movies:
FOOTLOOSE-- "Everybody cut, everybody cut footloose."
THE BREAKFAST CLUB-- The flick that made detention cool.
SIXTEEN CANDLES-- Molly Ringwald at her sweetest.
FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF-- "Bueller? Bueller?"
Two Words: Boom Box. I Still have 'Em. --Cooter

Summer 1984: A Good Time for Movies
From the July 6, 2014, Chicago Tribune."1984: Don't trust any summer film under 30" by Christopher Borrelli.
"'Ghostbusters,' 'Gremlins,' 'Temple of Doom' among the many cinematic anniversaries setting off a gusher of nostalgia."
Now that the summer of their 30th anniversary is officially over, I guess I can write about it. Some even say that the simultaneous release of "Ghostbusters" and "Gremlins" on June 8, 1984, was "a cultural milestone." Well, they are two of my favorites anyway.
"Indeed, if you were alive in Chicago in 1984, on Fourth of July weekend, the Cubs were looking promising (only to lose the National League pennant to San Diego), the Go-Gos and INXS were headlining a free concert at the Taste of Chicago, movie tickets were $3.30 and playing at the first-run theaters: 'Ghostbusters,' 'Gremlins,' 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom."
Later movies included "The Natural" and John Hughes' directorial debut with "Sixteen Candles." Still playing at the second-run theaters were "splash," "Romancing the Stone," "Footloose" and "This Is Spinal Tap."
By Labor Day, we had "Purple Rain," "Revenge of the Nerds."
Of course, some would say the year 1939 was the best for movies with"Gone With the Wind," Wizard of Oz," "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" and "Stagecoach."
Yep, Summer of 1984 Was a Mighty Good Time. --DaCoot
