Tonight around the World the week long annual event to pay tribute to past cinematic glory begins! People are suggested to congregate in groups and share in the joy of watching mediocre films of the 80's for a solid week to breathe some excitement into the dreary sportsless days of late February.
Here are the Ten Rules Of 80's Week so that you can start a festival in your remote part of the world. With choice libations, pick five movies based on the Rules, and enjoy.
I. Legit movies that you would normally rent on your own, while released during the 80's are not allowed. Ex. Indiana Jones, Chariots of Fire, Blues Brothers, 48 Hrs, Trading Places, Rambo.
II. One Movie must be a cheesy film involving wacky aliens or robots. Ex. Batteries Not Included, Short Circuit
III. Nostalgic kids movies are allowed considering they don't violate rule I. Ex. Weird Science not Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
IV. Avoid movies that come on TBS every weekend. Again see Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
V. No strictly chick flicks. Ex. Dirty Dancing.
VI. One movie must solely be based upon the absurdity of the box/ poster that no one has seen, with good reason.
VII. One movie must include a Corey/Cory/Korey.
VIII. If at all possible include Steve Guttenberg.
IX. Try to find at least one movie that includes an ex wrestler, football player, washed up TV star or Mr. T.
X. All movies must have been released from 1980-1989.
