Apropos of nothing ...
... you guys know what a great movie is? I'll tell you: Midnight Madness.
Made in 1980, one of the dozens and dozens of movies I've seen dozens of times* because my family had HBO** in the early going, but y'all -- OK, so I haven't seen it since at least 1988, but it was good! Remember Michael J. Fox, all misunderstood & whiny? And how all the teams wore color-coordinated sweatshirts in that bulky 80s polyester cut? And FAGABEEFE? And "SomeWHERE ... in the Bonaventure Hotel!"?
Awesome.

Oh my god! Yes! Me too, on all counts... I remember one clue was nestled in a waitress's rack, right?
Ah, Beastmaster. Good times...
Sarah Brown: Oh, riiiiight! Forgot about that one! Ahh, the 80s and their innocent profusion of rack shots ...
bonnjill: Beastmaster scared the LIVING JESUS COCOAPUFFS OUT OF ME. The thing with the glowworms in the ears? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! WORST PHOBIA OF LIFE!
i've watched savannah smiles so many times. which was my gateway to cloak and dagger (anyone? anyone?) with dabney coleman and henry thomas (swoon- at the time). i own secret of nihm and it still makes me tear up. have you seen valet girls? it's a must!
Oh, I love Cloak and Dagger! LOVE it! SO HARD!
Holy Crap I love that movie. Got it on VHS and everything. Made me love fat girls and mopeds equally.
