I bought a VCR for my then girlfriend on her birthday in 1985. I think I paid over $500.00 for it at the time! It’s crazy…you can get them at the Pawn Shop now for 15 bucks.

I remember those good Mountain Dew commercials. I also remember the Goonies movie. Also I remember when the first Nintendo system came out when I was a kid.

I think my first drive-in movie was some teen movie about cheerleaders. It was pre-brat pack; no angst involved, just a lousy plot, lousy acting and the only memorable thing about it was a two-second shot of a topless cheerleader. But that was very memorable for a 14 year old!

I’m not sure what my first movie was. I know I saw Spaceballs in the theater when it came out; I think I was 6 or 7 years old. I found it hilarious even though half of the jokes went over my head. Good old Mel Brooks.
