I make no apologies, I was a total movie rat.

My parents owned a video rental store, and I spent a ridiculously large amount of time pretending that I was absolutely anyone besides the fat little girl with glasses and a huge gap between her teeth.

After spending this morning cuddled up in bed with my boys introducing them to The Goonies, it reminded me of all the reasons I spent so many nights wishing I was one of those girls from the 80’s and early 90’s I was dying to switch places with.


Jennifer (Kerri Green), Summer Rental
This movie was hilarious, and makes me miss John Candy so much.


Chris (Elizabeth Shue), Adventures in Babysitting
Screw Brad and Mr. Cool, Thor was fucking hot.


Lydia (Winona Ryder), Beetle Juice
Seriously, I’m already weird and I would kill to pull off those bangs.


Diane Court (Ione Skye), Say Anything
You cannot tell me with a straight face that you haven’t had the John Cusack outside your window with a boombox fantasy.


Louise (Robyn Lively), Teen Witch
Two words: Top that.


Sarah (Jennifer Connelly), Labyrinth
Did I wish for the Goblin King to come on more than one occasion? Sure. But baby brothers are irritating and HOW HOT WAS BOWIE IN THOSE PANTS!?


Mercedes (Heather Graham), License to Drive
I went through a phase where I begged my parents to legally change my name to Kimberly, when they selfishly refused, I promised to only give my kids the coolest names ever, which is when I swore I’d name my daughter Mercedes. Ahem.
