Just finished watching Ghostbusters. Things I noticed:
1) 'Dana Barrett' character really was a snappy dresser
2) Dan Akroyd was YOUNG.
3) When did Bill Murray actually have hair? 
What's your favorite retro movie?

Ghostbusters is a great movie! My son insists that Ghostbusters II was even better, but I'm going to have to disagree with him there. 
If I had to pick one favorite retro movie, it would probably have to be Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

There was this movie called So Fine. I remember watching it with my dad and laughing so hard.

"It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. - Hit it."
also said by me earlier this week to a small group of colleagues...I thought it was hilarious. No one else got it. Really??

My daughter saw most of The Breakfast Club a few weeks ago. Now she understands why out of no where I will shout, "I wanna be an air force ranger."

jo, a bit of trivia on The Breakfast Club. The joke that Judd Nelson's character is telling while crawling through the ductwork was never meant to have a punchline. (I'm a *huge* fan of IMDb. Love reading the trivia...)
I have three of the Bratpack movies: The Breakfast Club, Weird Science and Sixteen Candles.
Favorite retro movie? Hell, that's a tough one. I really couldn't say. Depends on my mood I guess.

No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.
