The 80s & Me
I was born in the early 70s, so much of my youth was spent in the 80s, where I developed not only my taste in music, but also my love for films. Particularly those of John Hughes, who seemed to be the only person in the world who understood the pain of adolescence, especially the pain felt by dorks, geeks and unpopular girls (I fell into all three categories).
Enter three of the best 80s films: Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club. Yes, all starred Molly Ringwald, who, incidentally, grew up in my hometown, but more importantly, all three films gave me hope that maybe one day I would find my place in the world.
I eventually did, and now I get to reminisce right here about the good, the bad…and the 80s.
