You know, junk food doesn't deserve the bad rap that it gets. Take these pork rinds for example. This particular brand contains two percent of the R.D.A. - that's Recommended Daily Allowance - of riboflavin.

Beer and Cheetos for breakfast?

The non-knowing Millennials will probably think you are putting down 80's Teen Movies, saying they are as good as junk food.

Not those of us that are in the know!!!

I wouldn't consider any of these 80 Teen Movies. "ET" is a kids' movie. "War Games" is borderline since he did all that to get into a girl's pants, and "Red Dawn" is a war movie (Cold-War movie)

All great movies, but not 80's teen movies (IMO).

When I think of an 80's Teen Movie, I think of it as a movie that pertains to the day to day life of a teenager, no sci-fi, drama, or war.

The only exception to this I would say is "Weird Science", "Teen Wolf" is also pushing the envelope.

Charlie Sheen, young C. Thomas howell, patrick Swayze I think Red Dawn could be considered a teen movie along with the Outsiders.

Matthew Broderick and a video game that almost starts World war 3 also could have been considered a teen movie at that time.

the Outsiders


One of my all time favorite movies but this is not an 80's teen movie. It is set in the 60's.

Like I said in my last post, I will give you "War Games" (but it is borderline)

To me, "Red Dawn" is a war movie about rebel teenagers. It has nothing to do with the day to day life of a teenager in the 80's. I am not putting the movie down, I love the movie, just does not fall into this category.
