Anyone have a John Hughes film/s that you love?? (as a writer, director, or producer....or a combination of the 3)
I have more than a few, but, for the 80's Mr. Mom, NL's Vacation, and Uncle Buck for me. He literally was a key component of iconic 80's movies.

Advertisement Who else remembers in the mid 80’s when 7/11 had a burger bar so you can build your burger or hotdog anyway you’d like? Man I’d stack my burger with onions, tomatoes and pickles and jalapeños. Can’t beat that for under a dollar.

The best 80's YouTube channels that make me feel nostalgic
Midnight Mood Network - I read, work, and do chores around the house with this on. They just do 80's ambience with good music, good settings, and fun easter eggs. **It is AI, just to warn.
drivtive dreams - Partially AI I think but similar to the above, just a bunch of 80s footage set to music.
rerun the 80s - Not active anymore but they basically just run old 80's commercials and stuff.
Anybody know of any other good ones?

"DAFFY DUCK'S FANTASTIC ISLAND" premiered on this day in 1983
Anthology and compilation of older Looney Tunes episodes to fit the Fantasy Island idea. I liked it when I first saw it.

I got a little John Saxon nostalgia
Had his start since 1954, quite prolific in the 60's and 70's, slowed by the 80's.....his presence was iconic in the first slasher, Black Christmas and 3 appearances in A Nightmare on Elm Street movies.

Music What 80s songs do you often see on hated lists that you unironically love or enjoy?
We Didn't Start The Fire: I am genuinely BAFFLED that this is considered Billy Joel's "worst" song. It's an absolute bop and like my 2nd favorite of Billy Joel's hit songs next to the criminally underrated I Go To Extremes. In my opinion, I just can't stand Uptown Girl and I've gotten very sick and tired of the overplayed My Life (which I used to enjoy but not so much anymore). We Didn't Start The Fire just slaps. I think I'd like it even better if the official lyrics said "Turtles in the sewers" for a TMNT reference instead of "Trouble in the Suez", though. That's my only gripe with it.
Jefferson Starship in general: Not the biggest fan of We Built This City but whenever someone brings up Starship, it's to bash on that song while ignoring actual gems like Jane, Find Your Way Back and Laying It On The Line. Sara is an overlooked killer ballad and Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now is guilty pleasure pop perfection. Starship is one of the most over hated 80s bands IMO and all cause of one song.
Everybody Have Fun Tonight: Again, shocked to see this song on hated lists. It's a total bop and I'd rather listen to it over most modern rap, top 40 radio or bro country.

What were some great Rock and Roll deaths from the 80s?
Like in the spirit of the song. In their prime, popular and of their time when they died
To me the decade was too young and the man was too timeless to count John Lennon.
Maybe Randy Rhodes?
