I feel like I'd be the hapless cross between Andie Walsh and Chris Parker with a little bit of a cynical and sassy Janine Melnitz edge. It's got to be a mix of whiny and bad-ass. However, that is not the purpose of my little post.
I want to send some gratitude out to the "shoved-under-the-rug" 80's movie men. So, in the true spirit of 80's film appreciation, here is my life of the top 5 fictional 80's movie characters that I'd love to fall in love with.
- Phil "Duckie" Dale : Every time I watch "Pretty In Pink," which is coincidentally one of my favorite 80's moves, I get pissed off and want to punch Andie right in her face. Why? Why wouldn't you pick Duckie. He's adorable and lovable and off-beat and sheesh!
- Ronald Miller : Though, I prefer the pre and post "popular" version of the guy. I've always wanted to ride off into the sunset with a nerd on a lawnmower. Sigh.
- Andrew Morenski / Max Hauser: I know, Jon Cryer overload, but he's just so damned cute. I wasn't a huge fan of the "Moranski" personality, but all of that Max Hauser business in the middle was gold.
- Lloyd Dobbler: Do I really need to say anything else? Nope.
- Mad Mardigan: I had to have a "bad boy" in the mix, and who could fill the roll better than a dirty young Val Kilmer. This was probably the first, last and only time I found him attractive. Woo.
