As a true girl of the 80s, I approve your list of movies. I remember vividly going with my roommates to a theater on Main Stree in Logan to see 9 to 5 and laughing our heads off.

The bad thing about movies from that decade is that they are raunchier than I remember. Hold onto the remote so you can fast forward. The one movie I think you are missing is Adventures in Babysitting...killer 80s clothes, vehicles, hair and attitude.
