Remember those awesome 80's movies..
..you know the ones....the epic movies with the freakin awesome musical number? Chariots of Fire, Vision Quest, Flashdance, Fame (ok, Fame was a TV show, but it was still freakin awesome), Footloose, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Big Chill, Purple Rain...just to name a few
They don't make movies like those anymore...and they certainly don't have the epic soundtracks that go down in history as classic. Those types of movies are classics and I could watch them over and over again. If truth be told...I have Purple Rain on my DVR and it's my "go to" movie when I want to lose myself.
I can tell you the first time I saw it and with whom. Was in south Moorehead MN with my best friend (at the time) Jody in the summer of '84. She talked me in to playing hooky from work (she didn't have to talk hard). We had pizza at the Speak Easy (best pizza in town!) and then walked across the street to watch the movie. Freakin Awesome! I think we picked up a bottle of wine on the way home (yes, I loved wine way back then!), and sat up all night talking about Prince, his music, and the movie.
I had been a fan of Prince for quite some time. My friend Sherry Schmidt and the Miami Connection (remind me to tell you about these three guys sometime!) turned me on to Prince and some of his more raw music back in 1981 or 1982. We used to dance and party to Prince's music all night long! He was a musical genius...and still is.
Ya.... I'm wishing they made movies like they did in the 80's!
