Nineteen Eighty Dinner Theatre

For those of you that know me, it’s no secret that I am a greater lover of quintessential movies from the 1980s. The following are clips from some of my favourites for your viewing pleasure and enjoyment.
*All clips courtesy of YouTube. I do not own any rights to any of the following video clips.

—————————————————-

Mick always ensures that Sue feels like Jane in a Tarzan movie in “Crocodile Dundee” in 1986…

—————————————————-

Bill S. Preston, Esquire and Ted “Theodore” Logan are given the assignment of a lifetime in “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” in 1988…

—————————————————-

Jack and Wang are thrown into the middle of an alley war between the Chang Sing and the Wing Kong in “Big Trouble In Little China” in 1986…

—————————————————-

Jeff Spicoli says “hola!” to Mr. Hand in “Fast Times At Ridgemont High” in 1982…

—————————————————-

Joanna teaches Dean and his boys a lesson in “Overboard” in 1987…

—————————————————-

Jimmy, Corey and Haley find themselves in the middle of their first encounter with Lucas in “The Wizard” in 1989. (And for all you hipsters out there, yes, that’s Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley/Postal Service fame).

—————————————————-

Nothing frightened me more than Dorothy’s first brush with the Wheelers in “Return to Oz” in 1985…

—————————————————-

I saved the best for last. No girl hasn’t swooned over Baby and Johnny’s final dance in “Dirty Dancing” in 1987.

—————————————————-

I could easily sit here for hours and list off hundreds upon hundreds of 80s classics, but instead I’ll let you kill some time. Head on over to The 80s Movies Rewind for some nostalgic fun.

Hahaha…I work as a legal assistant with a local Vancouver law firm. That’s pretty funny that you suggested so!

I used to work at a summer camp where all the staff had “camp names” well due to Bill and Ted, one of my friends was “S. Preston”… we got SO used to calling him that (over a decade ago) that it stuck.

His name is now officially Preston - even on all his business cards.
