(M) Can't Buy Me Love (1980something). Grade: A
I looove this movie. That's love with three o's. Yeah, that's right. If you haven't seen it, the storyline goes like this: Dork (Patrick Dempsey) pays Cheerleader (some blonde chick of course) a 1000 bucks to be his girlfriend for a month so that he can gain popularity. Cheerleader falls for Dork, Dork doesn't know how to handle popularity and alienates his true friends, the secret comes out, and hilarity ensues (insert the cool crowd and muscular bully here). It's oh so very 80s and cheesy at times, but timeless in a way.

Oh yeah did I mention that Patrick Dempsey is hot??

(Year of movie - 1987) Man I love this film because it is sooo cheesy and sooo good. Has anyone seen the 2003 remake Love Don't Cost a Thing? Just wondering. Two other great 80's films - Just One of the Guys (1985) and Some Kind of Wonderful (1987) written by John Hughes.
