The 80s are definitely the best decade for partying in later decades. Thankfully I was too young to carry any embarrassment from the outfits/trends/music, so I can truly enjoy it currently. I imagine if you were a college kid in the 80s though, you wouldn't be caught dead at a theme party because you know that everyone else is mocking the shit that you took seriously at the time. Members Only jackets, fingerless gloves, stirrup pants, shoulder pads, I mean seriously...what were they thinking? The movies were just about as cheesy as I could possibly imagine, and I love them for it. Which brings us to this video...
As a promo for the upcoming movie Take Me Home Tonight, which is set in the 80s, the band Atomic Tom has put out a cover of the song "Don't You Want Me" (one of my favorites). Not only it's a throwback song, but the cast of the movie re-enacts scenes from classic 80s flicks. Can you spot them all? It's like Pokemon for people who don't suck at life.
Extra credit to Topher Grace for his awesome Marty McFly and to Ana Farris for actually looking hot at one point.
