From a Child of the 80s...

[sanitariumcalls]

For those of us who remember the wonderful movies and music of the 80s (and even the early 90s, I suppose) its nostalgic to get on YouTube and look up stuff we grew up on...

So here's my tribute to my childhood, and I hope you all will share your own, even if its not 80's-related ^_^

YouTube - The land before time - If we hold on together

YouTube - The Secret of NIMH ~ Flying Dreams Lullaby

I'll refrain from posting videos of men with teased hair and tight pants. But I will say this:

Drum reverb!

Great thread!

I probably watched this movie 19,000 times a day when I was little. I still love it.

I'm a post 90s person and so have never quite seen post 80s shows. Enlightening stuff. ;D

Labyrinth is one of my favorite movies as well, I like the weird landscapes. Raiders of the lost ark is also one of my favorite movies from that time.

My father took me to the theater to watch this movie when I was 7 in 1989. This is the music I always associate with Batman. Whenever someone mentions this character, I always think of Jim Aparo's Batman, and this music starts playing in my head.

Hehehe. This just makes me feel older, for 65% if not more of the younger generation has even heard half of this stuff in this thread. =/
