I am having a few friends over for a kind of adult Pyjama party (girls only!! :-) We are going to do nails and crazy hair styles.
I am planning on making it a kind of 80's theme. Can anyone suggest any great movies from the 80's that they loved, even if they seem a bit cheesy now. :-) eg: Working Girl, Ferris Beuller, Flashdance. Honestly the cheesier the better!!! lol

What can I do next?

Another fun idea is to play music from the 80's in a music game system, guitar hero, etc. Or have an 80's trivia game to see who really knows her stuff, then one can be crowned 80's Queen for the night with a crown & sash, like prom, lol! Have Fun!!

If you can get some old 80's Saturday night Live vids, those would be pretty funny too.

Girl Just Wanna Have Fun is one of my fave 80s movies. Depending on how old you all are, maybe try to find movies that feature characters and storylines with people who are the age you all were back when the movie was made.

Any Molly Ringwald movie or Girls Just Want to have Fun (Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt). I also liked the movie Shag where four girls go to Charleston for the weekend. It has AnnaBeth Gish and Phoebe Cates, I think.

Wow, sounds like fun, wish I had fun friends like this...anyway, it's not an 80s movie but it is supercute and about the 80s, so I think you girls would like it: 13 going on 30 with Jennifer Garner. Also, The Goonies, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Weird Science, and (yes I am weird) The Lost Boys. Have fun!
