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.
Porky's is set in high school. Revenge of the Nerds is set in college. Being a teen in the early 80's, I recall Porky's was a big deal for the controversy and notoriety compared to some of the others, especially at school. I agree it's got a creepy factor to it to rewatch now.

Oh really? I haven't seen that movie in a long time. For some reason my brain placed them in collage.

I don't really consider that a teen movie. Marty's a teen and the first movie does for a large part take place in the highschool, but 2 and 3 definitely are not.

This will be a tough one for sure. But the Avs do keep finding ways to win with this shell of a forward corps, and Boston is due for a stinker game sooner or later.

I won't be able to join you all tonight (work Christmas party), so have fun for at least a couple minutes before the B's ruin your night.

Better off Dead is best 80s teen movie, followed by Weird Science.

9-1 B's, Avs lone goal scored by Towes late in the 3rd.

Has anyone mentioned Suburbia? That's my vote for best teen film of the 80s.

Expecting a loss tonight, obviously. Boston has been a machine to start the season, and the Avs not only have a dearth of healthy bodies, they've also been playing noticeably worse of late. I've got a bad feeling about this game.
Here's hoping I'm pleasantly surprised.
