What are the "must see" movies that you would watch with a week off of work Posted by Kowalski (Member # 8412) on :

Welcome crownrox! Glad you decided to join..
What are some of your fav flicks?
Posted by Pyromantic (Member # 7658) on :
I would go with the Back to the Future movies too. Or at least the first one considering it IS the quintessential 80's movie.

I want a week off work too! I'm there in my head :-) Ok 7 on offer, one for each day of your week long vacation
'the secret to my success', 'the last american virgin', {great soundtrack!} 'Side Out', 'Big Trouble in Little China'!! Back to Schooll ;-) 'The Lost Boys' and to top it all off 'Caddyshack'!
Ok one more to top it all off... Valley Girl Posted by Secret Admirer (Member # 3574) on :
It depends on what you have access to. Are you renting? dvd or vhs? Netflix?
I agree with the movies already mentioned. All are good choices. Here are some more that are easy to find and rent on dvd:
The Blues Brothers Roadhouse Better Off Dead Some Kind Of Wonderful Ferris Bueller's Day Off The Karate Kid Gremlins Footloose Goonies Sixteen Candles Breakfast Club Ghostbusters Pretty In Pink Mannequin Teen Wolf Big Top Gun Beverly Hills Cop
If you have already seen all of those, then look for:
Rad Tuff Turf Streets Of Fire Secret Admirer Thrashin' Night Of The Creeps Three O'Clock High
Have fun this week, and please report back to us which movies you decided to watch Posted by crownrox (Member # 9180) on :

have a theme each time with food...eg ice cream with a horror, candy and sugary stuff with a comedy, pizza with a foreign film, just make it fun whatever you watch...make it a big deal and pretend its a date.

In honor of Wall Street II coming out, I'd say watch the original.
I agree on Family Vacation!
Getting close to Halloween so the Halloween movies would be solid along with Friday the 13th ones!
Big is always solid!

It just struck me that if you had watched them for the first time when they came out, you would have seen them... 25 years ago!
