I’m participating in the A-Z Blog Challenge. You can find the big list of participants by Googling. Each blog has a different theme. I’m doing a favorite movie of mine that starts with the days letter each day, but taking off on Sundays with a regular Kerry nonsense post.
Girls Just Want to Have Fun, 1985
This movie is ridiculous. Here’s the IMDB summary: Janey is new in town and soon meets Lynne, who shares her passion for dancing in general and “Dance TV” in particular. When a competition is announced to find a new Dance TV regular couple, Janey and Lynne are determined to audition. The only problem is that Janey’s father doesn’t approve of that kind of thing.
It stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Helen Hunt, Shannen Doherty, Jonathon Silverman, my favorite 80s DJ (who you can still hear on Sirius XM) Richard Blade, and freaking Robert Downey, Jr. and Gina Gershon as “punk party crashes.”
Due to licensing, Cyndi Lauper’s version of the song couldn’t be in the film, so it was covered, which is crazy. Make a movie around a song you can’t use the popular version of. It’s so 1985. I can’t tell you how many times I watched it as a pre-teen and teen. I love this dumb movie.
Runner up: The Greatest Showman. I love this film and I cry every time I watch it.

I’ve never seen this movie, but that’s quite the cast. I love all of those actresses.
I have seen The Greatest Showman. Wow. That is an amazing movie!

Watch it for the ridiculous 80s fun.
I rewatch The Greatest Showman all the time. If you get a chance watch this YouTube clip of the cast singing “This is Me” in a rehearsal. Gives me chill bumps. https://youtu.be/XLFEvHWD_NE

I remember this one, but I can’t recall much beyond the title. I might need to re-watch it because that is quite the cast!

You should watch it. It’s such an 80s bubble movie. I left out that SJP’s father is super strict and makes her go to Catholic school. So many things makes this one great in a ridiculous way!
