Streets of Fire- Singer Diane Lane is kidnapped by a greaser gang and Michael Pare has to come home to his hometown to rescue her. It is so ridiculous but I love every minute of it. Willem Dafoe, Rick Moranis, and Bill Paxton all bringing everything they’ve got to this weird 50s/80s hybrid, The Blasters and Jim Steinman giving the music a weird 50s/80s hybrid, comedian and director Robert Townsend is just one of the singers in the vocal group they pick up along they way. So fun. [Reply]

I caught The Terror of Tiny Town one buzzed night in the 80's on a program called USA's Night Flight.I'm sure it's because the cast is entirely made of little people(and I was stoned) but I still love it.

Michael Pare had his 15 minutes in the 80s: Eddie and the Cruisers
And while we're at it: I enjoy Tango and Cash each time it's on.
