Nothing says 1985 like a Polo tournament at the country club and a crisp white Cadillac Seville. Except maybe if you add in a blond trophy wife carrying your Polo trophy!

For the last couple of years the AFI Silver Theatre located in Silver Spring, MD has put on a celebration of 1980’s cinema. I’ve seen some fun things and seeing them for the first time on the big screen is worth it! Recently saw Ghostbusters and the original Nightmare on Elm Street.

Highly recommend checking it out. Runs through September 2009.

AFI Silver Theatre Awesome 80’s Film Festival

One of the stranger movie merchandisings of the late 1980’s. Police Academy: The Series was an animated Saturday morning cartoon. I guess parents did not mind it was based on an R rated movie?! Pictured here is a coloring book I have from Golden Books, 1989. The story is all about stolen doughnuts, of course!

I watched one of my favorite 80’s movies this weekend, Mannequin! It does not get much better than Andrew McCarthy, James Spader and Estelle Getty! Of course Andrew and James have been in several of my favorite 80’s movies. I just happen to have the 45 of the main song for this movie too! The price on the back is $1.93…so $0.99 on itunes is a good price me thinks!
