Yeah Cloak and Dagger was good, it was one of the first movies I remember seeing as a child, along with The Voyager (not teenager exactly, more about a kid), Coccoon, and Escape From Alcatraz... Love these movies!

I can't believe someone else knows the movie DARYL!
What about Project X - Matthew Broderick has to save the monkeys.

Yeah, I watched some of Project X on the TV once, but I wasn't very impressed...

I saw Project X in the theater when it came out, and I didn't care for it much, either. It wasn't bad. It just didn't do anything for me.

Some Kind of Wonderful is probably my favorite 80's teen angst/love/coming of age flick. It often gets overshadowed by Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles and Ferris Bueller, but I loved it when I was in 8th grade. Like Sixteen Candles, it was more of a drama than a teen comedy love story, but it dealt with some pretty heavy material in a good way.

Actually I haven't even seen all that many and there are many untapped classics out there that i haven't seen. But im trying to beef up my veiwing of these cheesy flicks. Stereotypical highschool characters, embarressing fashion, horrible acting, corny jokes, and of course 80's music, just make these flicks WONDERFUL! Everytime I go to the video store now i try and rent one.
Here is just a list of my favorites

Karate Kid: This is just one of the great 80's teen flicks. Not to mention an all time classic in its own right. Great music, memorable dialogue, unforgettable characters. Johnny the bad dude, has the greatest 80's hair dew. His hair alone is worth checking out this movie. One of the best lines in the movie...Daniel-son asks Elizabeth Shue to drive his new car, shes hesitant, and then Daniel says, "Oh Come on, Its the 80's man!'

Just One Of the Guys: This movie wreaks of the 80's. Typical teenage highscool 80's flick. Big dumb jerk Jocks, freaky lizard nerd guys, and sweet geeky boy who gets the girl. Oh yeah, and the girl who dresses up like a dude, she looks like the karate kid when shes a he. its funny!
Best part of this movie is the main characters younger brother who is obbsessed with sex and getting laid. I seen this movie too many times for my own good i think.

My Best Friends A Vampire: A good 80's flick with a twist. Geeky teenager is the star again, but this time hes become a vampire. But all the main players are here, main character sidekick, with cool 80's mullet hair, who is obsessed with getting laid. This movie just cracks me up, definetly a must see if you havent already.

Well, of course i love the 80's teen classics such as The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles, but i just thought Id throw some more obscure ones out, that i love and have seen countless times. Any other CHEESY and FUN teen 80's flicks that youve seen, that i should check out?
THE CHEESIER AND DUMBER THE BETTER
Tell us. They dont make teen flicks like they use to thats for sure. Ill take Just On of the Guys over Dude wheres my Car any day.
What about Nicholas Cage in "Valley Girl," which was a surprisingly good flick despite the tie-in with a very bad Frank Zappa song.

The movie also features an awesome, yet obscure 80s tune that I absolutely love "Eyes of a Stranger" by the Payolas.
