Schoolboy Father (1980)

Oxford Blues (1984)

97 mins�����Comedy, Drama, Sport �����

I watched "Oxford Blues" for the first time towards the end of the 80s and even then it felt like an old movie, which may not be such a surprise as it is an uncredited remake of "A Yank at Oxford" a movie from 1938. I say it ...

St. Elmo's Fire (1985)

110 mins�����Drama, Romance �����

If someone asked me to pick one movie which typified growing up in the 80's, I would have to pick "St Elmo's Fire" as one of the best movies from that decade. Although the storyline is pretty simple and is basically a coming ...

I first saw "Wayne's World" back in 1992 when I was still a teen and loved it, maybe not as much as "Bill & Ted" but it was certainly good. And the good news is that watching it now, 20 years later, it is still as good if not...
