No, that's in The Outsiders. We had to read it in middle school.

Sorry to anyone who had been planning to read it since 1970 and I've now ruined the plot.
I think I've seen pretty much all the movies on this list but don't remember most of them

Bruins fan:
Wish you guys were healthier. Was really looking forward to both teams at full health to see how they stack up. Hope it's an exciting game.

Mostly chiming in though because of the movie list or I would've just checked in to see your line-up and mood. Made me smile. Saw and remember all of them and have introduced my kids to a few. Gremlins and The Goonies wouldn't be bad additions (while Revenge Of The Nerds and Porky's are way too gringe worthy and inappropriate nowadays)

I can't believe I forgot the Goonies. :facepalm: Isn't Revenge of the nerds and Porky's collage movies? As for Gremlins, that's a Christmas movie.

Yah, you're right. And the college ones are super creepy in hindsight.
Craziest part of Gremlins as a Christmas movie though, and it gets washed over, is her brief story about why she hates Christmas. - I dont know if you remember.

I do remember. That completely washed over me as a kid, but when I re-watched it last year, it finally hit me how dark that story was.

And out of the blue. Glad you remember as it's such a throwaway.

You also forgot The Warriors and Lost Boys and Heathers.

I'll try to stop bugging you guys on your GDT. (Bruins fan) But will make some mental notes as my one daughter that is obsessed with 80s culture. I think I'll put all these movies on over the holidays and let them play.
