Dream to Believe is a gymnastics movie starring a really fucking awkwardly adorable Olivia D'Abo, with a really fucking adorable run, and also stars Keanu Reeves, and it's amazing, and the greatest, most perfect 80's movie that has ever been made.
Breakin' 2 is like 90% dancing.
Roller Boogie is about rollerskating and class warfare, and it's from 1979, but whatever, I guess it was ahead of its time, because it's hella 80's.
Breakin' is about breakdancing and class warfare.
Rad is about a BMX race, and there's a really good bike dance scene, and Lori Loughlin is in it.
Just One of the Guys is about a girl who pretends to be a boy for awhile to write a newspaper article, but then she falls in love with another boy, but it's not gay because she has tits.
Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains is about a girl punk band led by an adorable Diane Lane.
Thrashin' is about the tough lifestyle of skateboarders.
The Forbidden Dance is about saving the rainforest, and it's also not technically from the 80's, but is totally an 80's movie.
Foxes is about Jodie Foster and her friends, and the rough lives of teenage girls, and I kind of wish it was a little campier, but it still works.
9 to 5 is about how getting even is a full-time job.
Gimme An 'F' is a cheerleader movie, and there's a really good dance scene with a male cheerleader in an enormous shower.
Teachers is about Nick Nolte trying to make a difference, starting with Ralph Macchio.
Heavenly Bodies is about aerobicizing, and class warfare.
Rhinestone is about Dolly Parton teaching Sylvester Stallone how to be a country singer.
Only recognize Heavenly Bodies.
