Hello and welcome.
Your list of movies made me think of some I havent thought of in years - Like Lucas - the one that first turned me on the Charlie Sheen sigh :P :P
Which Running On Empty ? There were several movies of the same name - The Aussie one starred Terry Serio - he went to school with my mums partner and they use to run riot thru the town.
Officer And a Gentleman - Love it. never get tired of it.
My other 80's faves were:
The Pirate Movie
The Man From Snowy River
Dirty Dancing
Fatal Attraction
All the Indiana Jones and Star Wars and anything else Harry was in in the entire decade.
Stand By Me

I was a Mad Max and Indiana Jones fanatic in the 80's. Those were my favorite movies, as well as the Star Wars and Star Trek series with the exception of Star Trek: V which, IMO, was a terrible movie.

Running on Empty (with River Phenix) has to be one of my favorites too.
But does anyone know the name of the movie with Cyndi Lauper, Jeff Goldblum, and Peter Falk? Cyndi and Jeff were psychics and Peter was a co artist looking for the lost city of gold. It is my very favorite movie but my ex-husband recorded over it and I can't remember the name of it!!!!
