So I am kind of celebrating Gag just gave me a message that I won a 25 dollar gift card for Mytakes that I did for a month. It is pretty cool and I wanted to give back today partly because of that but also because I have the time to do it. So here are some highlights from the year that I was born :) and I want to do a shout out to some gaggers to do there own.
1984
Movies:
Gremlins
I love this movie, it takes place during Christmas which Christmas horror is pretty fun and it just has innocence, mayhem and silliness all wrapped up into one movie
Ghostbusters
This is another classic, it is probably the best ghost movie ever made, the right amount of humor, the right amount of seriousness, and the respect and believability of the source material
Neverending story
It is such an amazing movie and so filled with wonder and fantasy. It also really helps a person to find their meaning, that each persons choices effect things greater than themselves
The Last Starfighter
This to me is a movie about finding a second chance at life when where you are at seems to be nowhere, it is finding your niche and your significance in a big world
Music:
Footloose-Kenny Loggins
Classic dance song and a great radio hit from 1984
Oh Sherrie- Steve Perry
Classic Steve Perry that I can't get out of my head
One Love- Bob Marley
This is just my heart and just a great feeling song
Neverending Story -Limahl
Yeah this is cheating so sue me and also Ghostbusters with Ray Parker Jr. Would have been a great pick too but I just love this song and I get so lost in it
TV Shows:
(these were playing or were at least on tv during 1984)
Inspector Gadget
I loved this show, so funny and filled with gags
Fraggle Rock
I love jim Henson and this was a great example of his work
Muppet babies
This show is a captures the muppets personalities while allowing you to enjoy their younger years
Video Games
