Valley Girl

This movie was on my periphery until Dax Shepherd said it was favorite movie of all time on an episode of his podcast. Really glad I checked it out. Classic 80s rom-coming-of-age without the John Hughes polish (nothing against John Hughes).

Realistic ‘80s depiction in contrast to the John Hughes formula films. The scene at the party where Randy coaxes Julie to “get outta here” melts my steely heart every time:

J: Where we gonna go?
R: I don’t care
J: What’re we gonna do?
R: Anything

You GO, Nic! You act this MF!
