And my favourite movie of all time:

They did the sound mix for Heavy Metal at "Film House" now Deluxe Toronto... I know the sound team... they worked on Porky's too!
And I can't believe you have a Labyrinth poster! I loved Jennifer Connley in that movie (and David Bowie of course!). I love Escher pictures because of that movie! |

Hollywood bets you'll love the '80s
By Anthony Breznican, USA TODAYThu Oct 6, 6:47 AM ET
Hollywood's hottest trend is 20 years old.
The 1980s, the decade of big hair, big shoulder pads and big robots, is making a comeback as producers resurrect TV shows and cartoons from the Reagan era for a new generation.
Along with Warner Bros.' successful summer release of The Dukes of Hazzard, 20th Century Fox is developing a movie version of Dallas, and Universal Pictures plans to release an updated Miami Vice next July.
For families, cartoons such as The Transformers, Voltron and The Smurfs- which also were popular toys - are getting makeovers in a bid to make new fans out of the children of the children of the '80s.
One of VH1's most popular and oft-repeated programs is I Love the '80s and its sequel, I Love the '80s Strikes Back. The network has a third installment running Oct. 24-28, I Love the '80s: 3-D, which can be watched with special glasses to make the nostalgia jump out.
But when does the pop culture of an era go from out-of-fashion to retro-cool?
Producers say it's when the children of the era grow up and settle down.
"There's a point where you stop caring about new music and start caring about things from a point in your youth," says Michael Hirschorn, a VH1 programming vice president and executive producer of I Love the '80s. "We're most impressionable when we're 12 to 24 years old, so that what we wore, what we watched, what we listened to has greater import at the time, when you had yet to be distracted by things like jobs and families."
It happened with the '60s during the '80s, though it was reflected in more somber tones through movies such as The Big Chill, 1988's Vietnam-protesting drama 1969 and record compilations such as Freedom Rock.
The culture of the 1970s returned in the '90s, with Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown borrowing heavily from the era. Kevin Smith's characters in Clerks and Chasing Amy were obsessed with their '70s youth, especially Jaws and Star Wars.
The comic book company Devil's Due Publishing scored best-selling titles recently by resurrecting the GI Joe and Voltron series, both hit '80s cartoons.
"Twenty years after something is popular, people who liked those things as kids come back again and collect them now that they have disposable income," says Josh Blaylock, 28, president of Devil's Due. "Part of the appeal as you get older is you want to see the characters come back with a harder edge," he says.
Adam Goodman, head of production for DreamWorks, which is making The Transformers, says the 1980s are back because twenty- and thirtysomethings now have kids.
"We grow up with certain icons and certain entertainment ... and being able to share it with someone else and see it through their eyes for the first time is very satisfying," Goodman says.
