I am sure there are ones I am forgetting, but I love all these movies.

I guess Breakfast Club and Can't by Me love are both comedies/drama films but I included them.

My favorite is Revenge of the Nerds!

I think National Lampoon's Vacation holds up the best.

I need my old eyes checked, when I first saw this I thought it said 60s comedy movie. I was thinking what would that be, the Nutty Professor (the original one)? Dr. Strangelove?

Can’t Buy Me Love is great.

The nerdy guy used fake-socialproof-maxxing to get popular.
Yes, classic. Did you know one of the jocks (forget his name) is the singer Gerardo who sang "Rico Suave" and the woman who played Cindy Mancini passed away.

Another good one that I liked growing up was Lover Boy with Patrick Dempsey. It wasn't as high quality as some listed above, but I still liked it.

Ferris Bueller was great, I should have included that in the poll.

Breakfast Club does have comedy in it, but it is more of a drama for sure.

Lover Boy wasnt it with the pizza delivery boy?

It missed the 80s by a couple years, but Steve Martin's first movie, The Jerk, is my favorite movie of all time.
I used to think Bernadette Peters was smoking hot back then. Buxom lass with curly red hair. She had a bit of an unusual look, like she stepped out of the 1920s as a flapper.

Well if we talk about laughts then police academy, if we talk about "feelings" the breakfast club, if we talk about sense of freedom ferry buellers day and risky business (see my avatar picture) off.

Also dont forget weird science, back when making funny movies didnt offend anyone.

Re-Animator stirred my predilection for ghoulish humor and admiration for the female form(God Bless you, Barbara Crampton), when I was barely out of Huggies
