Blue Brothers, Caddyshack, and Shinning are all pretty heavy in my Yella lexicon.Fishpo31 said:I saw Caddyshack at a "Saturday Night Movie" deal at the student union. When the lights went down, all you could heard were tops being popped...I think 4 of us smuggled in 2 cases between us. At the end when they brought up the lights, it looked like a frat party. It is part of my vocabulary...even my wife (who saw it once) says "So I got that goin' for me, which is nice"...

Blues Brothers"There's got to be at least 7 dollars worth of change here!"
This year is loaded. I could have picked any number of these.

CaddyshackI contend that pop culture hit the high point from about 1980 to 1987. Movies music and TV. It was also the last decade of shared entertainment experiences. 30-40 million watching a TV show. 20-40 million album sales for mega hits. Big box office.
Now we all can do our own thing and lose a lot of the shared cultural signposts. I have no idea if this is good or bad so lighten up Francis.
Which is a reference that would be lost today -

AirplanePop culture always seems to hit a high point right in the midst of everyone's formative years. Weird phenomenon.

Caddyshack
I pretty much only bought CD for albums released between 1965- 1980 at Tower on the Ave in the mid 90s. But I'm an old soul compared to most.1to392831weretaken said:Pop culture always seems to hit a high point right in the midst of everyone's formative years. Weird phenomenon.
