#80sPopCultureChallenge Day 15 Cheesiest 80s movie: I was leaning towards the literal with the cheese-loving #WallaceandGromit, but that was just a TV series in the #80s. So, I'll go with the obvious #HowardTheDuck, the Limburger of cheesy 80s movies.

#80sPopCultureChallenge Day 14 Favourite 80s Fashion
Another epic challenge - there were so many rad fashion trends in the glorious #80s. But, I think my most endearing & enduring (I still wear them today!) fashion are my #docs. I wear them to all my #PunkCharming book signings.

#80sPopCultureChallenge Day 13 A Film Set in the Future
Well, the obvious choice is #BTTF, but I've already used that in this challenge. So, I'm going with #Spaceballs.

May the schwartz be with you!

#80sPopCultureChallenge Day 12 Favourite Film Character
Jareth the Goblin King from #Labyrinth

[Laura Quinn Books @PunkCharming80s]

Today's #moviechallenge is "Your Favorite Remake"...but I think the more interesting challenge would be Worst Remake. What's your nomination? (so many, many, many possibilities here!)

On this day in 1983, Return of the Jedi was released, 3 long years after we learned that (gasp!) Vader was Luke's father. The revenge--strike that--the return was awesome, topped only by the ewok party.

@cmattmetric Cheers!

Catch up #80sPopCultureChallenge: Day 9 Coolest 80s Album. Another impossible one with so many awesome bands, too many to fit in a tweet...but, I'm going with the uber-arty So Red the Rose album by Arcadia.

[Laura Quinn Books @PunkCharming80s]

@cmattmetric @johncusack I remember seeing it in the cinema on a Saturday night and was surprised how few people were in the audience. It was a great film!

[Laura Quinn Books @PunkCharming80s]

Totally spaced on this mega rad #80sPopCultureChallenge, so to catch up: Day 1: Favourite 80s Movie
So, I already answered the most totally awesome film for Day 10 (#BTTF), so I'll go w the film I saw the most in the 80s: The Sure Thing - love ya @johncusack!

Thank you to all the brave members of our military--past and present--for your extreme courage and sacrifice, and to the family members and loved ones who support them. Your brave actions will never be forgotten.

Catch up #80sPopCultureChallenge: Day 10 Best 80s Soundtrack. Ok, now my head is spinning with another tough choice. 1st thought was View to a Kill, since of course it featured Duran Duran's classic 007 song...but, best overall collection of 80s music was probably #PrettyInPink.
