Great Website for 80s Film Fans

I came across this awesome website which contains a wealth of information about a bunch of films from the 80s. People my age grew up in the 80s and we still love the movies, music, etc. right?

Obviously, they cover the well known films such as Die Hard, The Breakfast Club, and The Goonies, films we all know so well and love. But they also cover other favorites of mine from the 80s that are not so well known.

Angel: The story of a straight A student by day, hooker by night!
Back to School: Rodney Dangerfield's greatest film filled with great one liners
BMX Bandits: Australian teen biker film starring a young Nicole Kidman!
The Last Starfighter: A classic! Remember the "Death Blossom"?
Lucas: Great teenage coming of age story
Midnight Madness: Fun comedy about an all night scavenger hunt. A definite hidden gem.
No Retreat, No Surrender: Martial arts cheese at its best.
Spacecamp: This movie about teenagers in space is so stupid and yet I can watch it over and over again.
Tron: Video game coolness.
Vision Quest: Wrestling movie with great performances from Matthew Modine and especially Linda Fiorentino. Hot!
Summer School: I remember watching this film over like a dozen times on HBO back in the day.

Hmm....now looking at that list it seems like the majority of those films are about teenagers. I guess since I was a teenager in the 80s it makes sense.

I was disappointed to find out however that the site didn't have anything on these other 80s favorites of mine:

Force:Five: Cheesy, bad martial arts film with Benny "the Jet" Urquidez and Richard Norton
My Chauffeur: Fun comedy with cute Deborah Foreman.

Anyways, looking through the site can take up hours of your time as you read through the trivia for each of the films. Fun stuff!
