The following is a list of favorite movies from my adolescence. I loved them and watched them over and over again, in the way that teenage girls often do. They were the entertainment for many a slumber party. Their love stories a frequent topic of gushy girl talk. Their fashion was the subject of much...well, usually ridicule...but teenage girls love to ridicule! They played an integral role in shaping the person I am today. Ok, it's not that deep...but seriously, what fun, fond memories I have of these movies, and I still continue to enjoy their simple and carefree entertainment. Ahh, how lucky I am to have grown up in the 80's and 90's!
What were some of your favorite movies as a youth?
(ps, sorry the pics are so small...that's the best I could do!)

"The Princess Bride" - I'm mormon, aren't I? Side note - I did not realize this movie was a comedy until I was in college.

"Girls Just Want to Have Fun" - Need I say more?

"Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" - It sounds morbid, but such a great movie. I doubt it did very well in the theaters, but it's a classic in my book.

"The Cutting Edge" - Spoiled figure skater + rough around the edges hockey player = awesome.

"Overboard" - I watched this movie for about 2 weeks straight one summer vacation at my Grandma's house in Idaho. I love Goldie Hawn.

"Troop Beverly Hills" - A favorite of the Webb sisters. Such a great underdog story.

"Mannequin" - So 80's, so great.

"Some Kind of Wonderful" - Miss Amanda Jones. Populars vs. Nerds. Realizing the one you secretly love, loves you in return...EEEEEEEKKK!! (that was a squeal of excitment)

I never knew that we had so much in common! hehe!!
Great list. My sisters and I LOVE Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!
Loved loved loved The Princess Bride. "As you Wish!" I also loved Fried Green Tomatoes. Super fun post.
Great memories. I think I would also add "Say Anything." Maybe "grease" too, until I actually understood it all.
I love Mannequin! That is one of my favorites. I do remember watching wild hearts, but I can't remember what it is about.
Awesome list. Way to throwback to the 80/90's. Mannequin is a forgotten fave. All time favorite 80's movie, hands down- Goonies. Not even a matter of debate.
Some of those movies are favs for me too! It was fun hanging out on Wed thanks for having us over!
Love your blog! You guys are a cute family! I am going to add you to our friends list right now!
Yeay those are all some of my favorites too. I just don't get into movies like I used too. Those were fun and I love wild hearts too. We should all have another girl sleepover one of these days and watch all the oldies :) and play what if..he he.
