[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ET when they’re in Elliot’s house or riding bikes in the neighborhood or Fast Times at Ridgemont High during the mall scenes.

My heart aches for that period of the 80s. 80s malls were so specific and awful but I loved them. There are bits of North Park in Dallas and South Coast Plaza in CA that retain some of that charm if you know where to look.

The details and lighting in Elliot’s house are so similar to my back door neighbors’ house growing up even though I grew up in the Midwest, not CA. And I have strong memories of wearing clothes like that and riding bikes on newly built cul de sacs to nearby woods. And the brown louvered doors and dark kitchens and stained glass lights. Sigh.

My DH teases me because he thinks I cry for ET every time- I’m crying because the way that time look and felt to me as a kid is gone except for in family photos and that movie.[/quote]

I don't know if I would want to live in them, but I feel this kind of sentiment and heartache for certain 80s movies too. The Goonies, Big, Mr. Mom, Savannah Smiles

I would live in the Vermont house and town in Baby Boom (a less-mentioned Meyers/Shyer movie!)[/quote]

Seriously underrated- good call. In grad school I basically lived in the set of Baby Boom. It was a lovely break from real life but the houses are freezing.

Still, I love that 1980s New England farmhouse aesthetic. Martha Stewart’s kitchen in her earliest cookbooks have the same vibe. Give me some exposed brick, a clay tile or wood floor, and a bunch of baskets hanging from the ceiling and I’m a happy woman.[/quote]
