    I love Mel Brooks's films too. I included his High Anxiety after much thought. I had considered Spaceballs, Young Frankenstein, and Silent Movie.

    That reminds me of another good one, The Day After, it was just on AMC not too long ago. Growing up in a Reagan era rural town 50 miles from Washington, DC nuclear war was on everyone's minds. It was all everyone talked about after it aired on TV when I was in the 7th grade.

    Now that I'm home and I've had time to think about it, that's from the Princess Bride, right? Great film, but I have something important to tell you, I'm left handed. LOL...

    Nope, I didn't mention it in my list since I like Star Trek IV and the ones featuring the Star Trek TNG cast better.

    If anyone is into 80s movies, you should have a look here:

    Ok. I see your point.

    Well the 80s were definitely cool since I was born during in the middle of them. :D

    So that is why I love my 80s movies...well that and I liked the story, plot, characters, etc. in each one of them. ;)

    Ah yes, the classic 80's brat pack films. Unpopular guy sees Molly Ringwald from afar. Molly Ringwald disses unpopular guy. Mayhem ensues. Unpopular guy and Molly Ringwald are brought togeather. They learn that they really aren't that different. Guy and Molly Ringwald fall in love and live happily ever after. Guy and Molly Ringwald kiss long and deep as the sun sets and the frame freeses, and the credits roll as music from either the Thompson Twins or the Stray Cats plays...

    Lord of the Rings is very cool :), I found another interesting movie site which will tell you what was shot in what city. The site is broken down into US regions much like WA:
