Subject: What character from any 80's movie are u?

Written By: rubixgirl on 02/12/04 at 02:58 p.m.

I was just thinking if you could be any character in any 80's movie who would it be....
Mine would be Veronica Sawyer from Heathers.

Now that's a tough question!

Though I wouldn't choose to be his character, I looked EXACTLY like Anthony Michael Hall's character Gary in "Weird Science" when I was in high-school. It's just too freaky to watch that movie. It's like looking in a mirror!

OK ok back to the topic, if I could be any character in any 80's movie who would it be?

I would choose to be either ...
Otto (Emilio Estevez) in Repo Man
or
Rick Dekard (Harrison Ford) in Blade Runner

Great topic - Thanks!
Zed

Halloween II    (Laurie Strode)

I was thinking Nancy from NoES also, she was one of the first girls that would fight back (in a smart way) in a horror movie.

I guess I would want to be either Madonna or Rosanna Arquette in Desperately Seeking Susan because they got to wear such cool clothes in that movie.  8)

If we were talking about 80's characters on tv, I would have liked to be one of the girls on "Facts of Life" because they always seemed to be having such fun (Blair and Jo were my faves!) And as silly as this may sound, I wouldn't mind being Michelle from "Full House" because everyone thought she was sooo cute.  :D

you know the scene in sixteen candles, the one where they go to the school dance. the camera pans over the freaks, geeks and losers and ends up where farmer ted and his two cronies are sizing up girls with low-light goggles. i'm one of those losers. pick one, it doesn't matter.

Ya know? That really is a tough question!!!

Since I always wanted to be Madonna when I was younger, I would probably have to say Susan in Desperatley Seeking Susan, just because of her charisma in that flick.

If not, I would want to be her character in Who's That Girl. I thought that was a good movie, though 9 out of 10 critics would most likely disagree!!

Well, if rubixgirl gets to play Veronica Sawyer in "Heathers," then I get to play Lance Fenton (Kurt Kelly) opposite her. If not Lance, then I want to play Kevin (Chris Pitt), the scout or boy scout in "Lair of the White Worm." Of course, if anybody has seen either film, besides rubxgirl, then they know my life expectancy is not too long in either role.

Those are interesting choices. Though short lived in the movie, very memorable.  :)

I guess I was most like Jeannie in Ferris Bueller.

I identified with her having the brother who the parents treated like a god and the way he was treated at school.

There is a scene where she says something like "I'll kill him" - will have to rewatch to do correct quote as I am the worlds worst quoter - but I seriously identify with her right then !!!

And of course I always kissed Charlie Sheen in police stations !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :-*

Thank you, rubixgirl for your comments. That's been my life so far, short but memorable. And here's another character from an '80's movie, whose life was short, but memorable. From "Fright Night," Edward "Evil Ed" Thompson (Stephen Geoffreys.)
