What’s an ’80s movie you didn’t like when you first saw it, but later fell in love with?

Maybe you didn’t get it the first time, or it just wasn’t your thing. But years later, something clicked and now you love it.

This always seemed strange to me: Frank likes to keep things quiet and low-key, yet sends two men with automatic weapons to shoot up a packed nightclub just to kill Tony, potentially drawing attention to himself. That’s the exact opposite of low-key. Why not kill Tony getting into his car?

Decided to do something constructive with my day and finally find out who shot J.R. I was a kid when it happened, so it only took me 45 years to get around to it.

Inigo throwing him the rope, the conversation that follows, and then the sword fight. The whole sequence is one of my favorite scenes in any movie. The Princess Bride (1987)

For 40 years, I couldn't shake this tune—or figure out what it was. A few months ago, I finally hummed it into Google, and it instantly identified it as Oingo Boingo's "Nothing Bad Ever Happens to Me." One of the longest-running mysteries of my life was finally over.

"I Was Made for Dancin'" always takes me back to the roller rink when I was a kid.

I was too young in the '70s to know this, but was a guy living with two women really that big of a deal back then? Three's Company made it seem pretty taboo for an unmarried man and two women to share an apartment, and people's reactions when they found out sometimes seemed over the top. Was it?

I could be wrong, but on the surface, it seems like between all the drugs, money, power, and killing, the only person who came out ahead was Elvira. But after Tony died, would she have inherited any of his money or assets, or would the government have seized everything?

Interesting little TV fact I just learned: Leave It to Beaver was the first TV show to show a toilet—but network standards at the time wouldn’t allow them to show the entire thing. Hard to imagine that being controversial today!

Was there an '80s song that felt dark or unsettling to you, even if you couldn't explain why? For me, it was Night Ranger's "Sister Christian" and Mike + The Mechanics' "Silent Running."

Sometimes I wish I could experience the mindset of moviegoers in the '70s. Seeing films like these with no internet, no spoilers, and no decades of movies influenced by them. I wonder what it felt like when audiences realized they were watching something completely new.

For me, it was Tom Petty's "You Got Lucky." What was the first video you ever saw on MTV?

For me, it was Tom Petty's "You Got Lucky." I still remember being at one of my mom's friends' houses when I first heard about MTV, and this was the first video I ever saw. What was the first music video you remember seeing on MTV?
