Until tonight I had never seen the movie Beetlejuice.  I’ve seen small clips of it and I remember it being referenced when it came out while I was a sophomore in high school.  I had a good time watching it with my kids.  It did however remind me of a lot of the iconic movies of the ’80s that I watched over and over.  Such movies as Back to the Future, Better Off Dead, and Pretty in Pink.  I think a fun list would be to make would be these movies and when I remember watching them.

I remember that I saw a lot of movies on VHS in middle and high school.  Early on, we would rent a VHS player from the store and a couple of movies.  At that time it was a big family event.  I remember watching Splash and High Road to China this way.  Those were fun and exciting times.  I feel that my own children do not get the same thrill when we rent movies since we already own the player.  I wonder what they do get excited about in that way?
