[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember thinking it was hilarious.  [b]People just didn’t get offended over everything back then.  We knew how to laugh at ourselves. [/b][/quote]

I don’t think “we” were laughing at ourselves.  There was always an element of laughing at someone you didn’t identify with and rooting for the one you did.  And since there wasn’t a diversity of perspectives telling the stories back in the 80’s its not like it was balanced as to who was the butt of the jokes and whose story was being told.

That said as a teen in the 80’s, I liked Breakfast Club.  There were probably crazy plot lines that I am forgetting but I thought overall there was one about never knowing everything that goes on an anyone’s life and we having more in common than you might think with the different high school cliques.  Never a huge fan of Sixteen Candles.  I felt bad for Ducky and felt like the whole thing with Caroline was like seeing the popular person taken down a peg.  Dirty Dancing, again probably worse than I remember but I remember liking that movie.
