11) OSHA was more lenient about leaving loaded nail guns laying around back then.

Found this one for a dollar on VHS as the yard sale season starts to wind down around here I've been lucky in scoring a few of my favorite "bad" 80's tapes this year (Pretty in Pink, St, Elmos's Fire) as most came out during my high school years.

Totally excellent daverindone that's quite a bargain and so worth it for this fun and light hearted film   .
I still have a few of my old John Hughes VHS Movies I got them as gifts when these films were brand new and still work too  
( IMPO VHS Tapes for these movies back then were made very well - at least before the 1990's anyway ?   ) .

Thanks daverindone for your reply  .

Please continue on folks ...

I love playing my Halloween tape on, well...Halloween as the old analog pop and hiss just adds to the atmosphere.

Almost like watching it on the big cinema screen but instead it's on the TV and in the comfort of home while having some microwave popcorn too    .

All the best classic combinations when enjoying these unforgettable films - totally agree  .
