I wasn’t alive then. But the music, setting, and adventure conjures up a desire to be a kid back then.

The film/TV interpretation that came closest to my childhood was Leave it to Beaver. Doing stupid stuff with my friends, understanding but frustrated parents, older siblings and their friends trying to act grown up and speaking in sarcastic "cool" jive...

You could literally get away with everything but a felony with a slap on the wrist and a hide home in the back of a cruiser.

When I mentioned Smokey and the Bandit and Nashville looking like the 70s I knew, I was just talking about the scenery, buildings, cars, etc. Those ugly cop cars from Smokey and the Bandit 2 were all over Georgia for a few years.
I can't really think of any shows that were all that close to my childhood, We rode bikes, played whiffle ball, hung out at the public pool, arcade, and hit a lot of matinees at the movies.

I just watched this on YouTube last week. I usually search for it every few years. Finally found it after having not seen it forever. It was filmed in Miami in 1979 so it was right before Miami's explosion of wealth because of cocaine.

Comedies from the late 80s and early 90s were money

There have been some good answers already. As a 89 HS graduate I will add 2 from 1985; The Breakfast Club and Weird Science
Plus
1984 Sixteen Candles (was already mentioned)

My answer to this question is always Superbad. Came out in August of my Senior year. It was perfect. They talked and acted like us.

Absolutely. Mr Mom, House Party, Revenge of the Nerds, Urban Cowboy are a few that really take me back to that era and long for it, even if I was only a boy during the 80s.

There are too many to list, but I absolutely love 80s movies and the noticeable styles they used with the banger soundtracks, fashion, SFX, and montages common in the era. I feel like you can always pick out this era in film.
A few faves: BTTF, Empire, Die Hard, Blade Runner, Goonies, Ghostbusters. I could go on and on

I'll definitely look for it. Glad to know that I'm not the only one that loved this movie.

Count me in.
The scene where Dom gets high is an all timer

Almost Famous - one of my all-time favorite movies. Rock and Roll was so cool back then, and the world was not very complicated.

Grease...although filmed in the 70s makes me want to go back to the 50s

The dad kept it bush-hogged all summer so we could play there. If it were still there vacant today, it would be posted. Nobody wants to be sued for a kid breaking a leg on their property. Back then, nobody sued for that kind of stuff.
it was literally my childhood. We played baseball/football in an empty field. If we weren't playing sports we were riding our bikes everywhere.
We played football across three unfenced back yards on that same street. We played the ball off of the high hedges in the Reese's yard.
We went to Westside elementary. We'd ride our bikes across town and play football, baseball and basketball, against the soft Eastside kids.
Us Westside kids would camp out in someone's back yard, and ride our bikes past the police station on the courthouse square at 2 am or so. Those Eastside soft kids are probably doctors and lawyers and such.

The shower scene is quite the surprise for those that have only watched it edited for TV.
