Don’t forget, this weekend Encore’s Big 80s Weekend marathon. Almost every awesome movie from the 80s is going to air starting Christmas Day, highlights include all the John Hughes movies, Fast Time At Ridgemont High, Back To The Future, Goonies, Wall Street, Purple Rain, The Blues Brothers, Weird Science and more. I looked at the full list last week and couldn’t find a dud in the bunch. I’m back home in MD, so I’ll be able to watch all this 80s goodness on EncoreHD. Just an amazing line up of nostalgia. Also this weekend they will be debuting a brand new documentary about the late, great John Hughes called “Don’t You Forget About Me,” featuring appearance The mini-press release and full list is after the break.
Encore will present a “Big ‘80s Weekend” that includes the world television premiere of Don’t You Forget About Me, a poignant search for Director John Hughes by a group of young filmmakers. The doc includes appearances by Kevin Smith, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Andrew McCarthy and Alan Ruck. Pop songstress Cyndi Lauper presents all the awesome films from the ‘80s including The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Weird Science, Weekend at Bernie’s, The Outsiders and one we think is Ms. Lauper’s favorite – Girls Just Want to Have Fun.
