Valley Girl (1983)

It's as close to being in the actual 80's as you'll find. I've always felt the soundtrack was authentic and captured the energy of that era more than any other.

He was a better version of Johnny Lawrence than Johnny Lawrence. An actual villain.

Took way too long for this to be on BluRay. The soundtrack and chemistry of the cast is like totally stellar. Supposedly foreman and cage were hooking up during filming. Always dig the Apocalypse Now parents

He grew up to be even worse in Breaking Bad. (In between he drove the Pussy Wagon in Kill Bill.)

The soundtracks to Valley Girl, Fast Times, and Last American Virgin are the 80’s.

Great movie

I saw it in March, 1984

The soundtrack is amazing. Johnny Are You Queer is punk perfection. That and the Plimsouls, etc. weren't what mainstream America was listening to but were the cutting edge of trendy pop in LA at the time. For that reason, I wouldn't say it was completely authentic 80's, but authentic to The Valley in the 80's.

To me the most authentic 80's movie is Against All Odds, but there are many more.

Whatever you do, do not watch the 2020 remake
