‘Valley Girl’--25 years later and still totally awesome

I recently rewatched ‘Valley Girl’ and this movie totally holds up. The Shakesperian love story between Randy and Julie still makes me sigh and the montage set to ‘I Melt With You’ -- with great shots of Hollywood in 1983 -- is cool, not corny.

But check out the clothes and tell me this isn’t an American Apparel catalog come to life-- with the neon colors, head bands, jersey tops and mirrored Ray Bans. And I love that Nick Cage’s hair looks like a woodchuck.

MGM recently announced that they will remake this classic as a musical. Grody.
