#78 is Bill Pullman and Daphne Zuniga getting married in Spaceballs
I thought that looked like Daphne Zuniga, but I couldn’t place anything else about it.
Very cool. And there it is:
Hey, she sang the National Anthem before Super Bowl XVII back in January 1983. And it’s quite good.
Okay, that was a blast! Somebody do a '90s compilation now…
So really, it’s one item in the compilation. I’ll renumber them, and also fix another error in the numbering.
We did it! Thanks all! Here it is, I think it’s a solid list but if it still has any errors please speak up.
This 80s compilation was fun for me. I had fun watching it and remembering those years.

A bump because scrolling through Instagram just now somebody else used the same video compilation, but to a different song.
Here it is, by @the80s.90s.guy, and done to St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion), by John Parr
➜ Luke Ventura - The 80s 90s Guy on Instagram: "A cool tribute to the 80s ❤️❤️ #tribute #to #the #80s #we #love #!"
And here again is the first one by @rach1612, and done to Waiting for a Start to Fall, by Boy Meets Girl (George Merrill, Shannon Rubicam)
➜ Rachael Simmonds on Instagram: "Absolutely loved the 80s👌🫶 #80s #throwback #80sthrowback #memories"
Long live the 1980s! The good parts, anyway.
.
Also, looking at when I posted the OP, it was within a few days of my wife’s near-death experience. Her heart stopped 3x and she needed CPR to revive her (that was 05 Nov). They did CPR for 20 minutes, and then she came back. Today, she is doing well; basically a 100% recovery. She’s a lucky gal, and I’m a lucky guy.
This thread was a welcome diversion for me then. Thanks to all who contributed!
Glad to hear it !
Bumped. As a motorcyclist, to me it was important to identify the Kawasaki GPZ900R Ninja that Tom Cruise rode in Top Gun. An iconic bike!
Some typo fixes and minor tweaks to the list, most notably for:
7 Apollo Creed and Rocky Balboa
9 Elliot in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
21 Toni Basil is Mickey
25 Top Gun (1986)
31 Princess Buttercup in The Princess Bride
35 Phoebe Cates in Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)
80 Tom Cruise as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell
Feel free to edit. This list isn’t mine, it belongs to all of us on The Dope
