Childhood Memories...Movies... 80's....

So I'm addicted to Tivo now. I'm way more into Amazon.com than I should be. After watching "Karate Kid II" tonight (on Tivo) I realize that there is no reason not to marry the two and attempt to recreate my childhood through modern technology. That being said, I think it's time I start paying homage to all the movies that I loved growing up. My plan is to also recognize other pop culture mediums later, but for now I'll just take a trip down memory lane and list the movies that I feel I need to own to make my life complete and the ones I already own. First instillation...movies I dug in the '80's. (doesn't mean they were made in the '80's).

Movies I should own...
1. Karate Kid 1 and 2 (not 3 or "The New")
2. Teen Wolf
3. My Pet Monster
4. Care Bears: The Movie (don't judge me)
5. Michael Jordan's Playground
6. Indiana Jones Trilogy
7. The Neverending Story
8. Who Framed Roger Rabbit
9. Batman
10. Top Gun
11. Crocodile Dundee
12. Rocky IV (used to own it but some douche stole it from me in high school)
13. Willow
14. The Wizard of Oz
15. Airplane
16. Short Circuit
17. Honey I Shrunk the Kids
18. The Navigator

Movies I do own...
1. Star Wars 4-6
2. Back To The Future 1 (I also own 2 & 3 but I didn't quite dig them in the '80's)
3. Alice In Wonderland (the live action tv movie...again, don't judge me)
4. Labyrinth
5. Ghostbusters

Obviously I need to own more "classics" than I already do. There are many more movies that I dug in the '90's...either because I loved them or because my brother forced me to watch them over and over and over again (he was born in '89), but that's another blog. Feel free to comment on my stellar lists and remind me of other flics I forgot.

Much Love,
Bo

LOVED the Care Bear movie - way to remember that one! I dont have any movies to add being that apparently I dont remember much of the 80's except for great Nintendo games (which yes, I still have all of yours).
