The year is 1988. The shoulder pads were dying, skirts were high, Keds were in style. And don't forget the parachute pants. Huh, I was dialing down in being a cinephile.

Beetlejuice - OH YEAH! Geena Davis Crush Ignited. Also hella fun.
~
Willow - WILLOW!!!! Such a good, fun movie.
~
Big - Saw this in theater with Mom, really enjoyed how they handled it.
~
Who Framed Roger Rabbit - BOB HOSKINS made this movie. Just. He acted against the animation SO PERFECTLY.
~
Die Hard - Did you know this was a July release? Funny thing is, Alan didn't actually make an impression on me as an actor of note for this one.
~
Tucker: The Man and His Dream - Saw this in theater with Mom. And I absolutely loved it for Bridges. He so fully GOT the man he was playing.
~
Young Guns - Hello my beloved heart throbs! (there's been a dearth of westerns in these posts)
~
Alien Nation - I am, without a doubt, a fan of both the movie and the TV show. And feel like it should have left a bigger presence in pop culture.
~
The Accused - Watched on VHS with Mom, and it was another one of those serious talk movies. Hard, in some ways to watch, because my aunt had been attacked the year prior.
~
The Land Before Time - Ya know, despite being a mom, and showing some of the franchise to the kids, I don't think I have ever seen this one in English? Like a few other movies, I watched it in French class.

Oliver & Company - MY BELOVED VERSION OF OLIVER TWIST, as told with cats and dogs. "If this is torture..." AHH CHEECH.
~
Scrooged - Once upon a time, a preferred version of Dickens' Christmas Carol. I rewatched in recent years and... well, Carol Kane is funny.
