For us, old timers

Movies:

Breakfast Club - I saw it twice on TV last week! I could not believe how much Molly Ringwad, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy and Anthony Hall haver changed

Sixteen Candles

Rambo

Top Gun

Aliens

Star Trek: Wrath of Khan

Star Wars: The Empire Strike Back
 
Also had the bell bottoms, the cordoroy (sp) pants. Converse sneakers that always ripped with pencils due to boredom in school. If you got detention you feared going home because the parents got the report before you even had to serve it on the same day.

It was safe to drink out of the water hose. I was taught to drive an old pickup truck at 6 in the orange groves where we lived and it was a great pleasure to pick fresh oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes and kumquats fresh out of your yard.

Walking barefoot down the highway to the local swimming hole 2 miles away. Getting a spanking with a belt from the neighbors if I screwed up before parents came home.

Having street dances with "Dr. Paul Bearer" from "Creature Feature" each summer in town.

Had posters of Leif Garret, Donny Osmond, and David Cassidy. Thought Donny Osmond's "Puppy Love" was the best!! (at the time.)
 
Lake Tahoe - I do! <Metallica, Cabbage Patch, My Little Pony, Transformers, Gi Joe.....>

"who shot JR?...."

and yeah, I had leg warmers. Red ones.

I must have watched the Top Gun, Breakfast Club and Footloose movies tons of times; remember when my mom took me to see Footloose in the theater!

Oh yes. I have not forgotten Dynasty. I loved watching Joan Collins play Alexis and thinking that if I were powerful and rich, I'd dress like her.

Every Wednesday, the whole dorm (Dorm E) at MSSD would turn out to see Dynasty. Dunno about other dorms.
 
Computer:
Commodore C64
Apple Mac+, LC III and PowerPC

Star Wars

that Commodore64 was I think my husband's first - or one of his first- computers, he was so excited!

leg warmers - and there was a certain "style" - at least in my area or my school - to how they were to be worn. At that time I was especially shy and bullied extensively so I did my best to try to "fit in", including following this "style".
does she remember what color they were, stefan?

OMG, Bitchfights, I miss them!

Alexis, who could ever forget her and her brown cigarettes!

She poured sex every Thursday night and I would go to school so tired every Friday am. My teacher would ask me why I was tired, I'd say Dynasty and she'd be shocked because I was only like 9 years old! :lol:

32 cents a gallon for gas, I was too young to pay for gas and drive at that time.

Coca~Cola was 15 cents for 12 oz bottle, 10 cents for a bar of Hershey!

blast time roller skating, we don't see much Roller skate rink nowadays

Drive in restaurant, known as Eat N' Park. That restaurant chains still exist but no more drive in.

Drive in Theatre was very popular back then.

Carefree days! Fun Fun Fun!

In 70's "Made in china" was not even exist. HOWEVER, in 70's I have witness sad event. Unions at steel mills has successfully forced Steel companies oursourcing their jobs to China, now China is steel supplier.

SAD, I blame on unions!

I respectfully disagree. I blame it on the managements' greed, pure and simple.
 
There are some fashion trends from the 80's that I'd rather forget.. Cropped tank tops that showed at the midriff for one :P I'm long waisted but I'm also very busty so this look was a diaster on me. You weren't supposed to wear it in layers.
