The soundtrack from Valley Girl is, imo, the epitome of all 80's Teen movie sound tracks.
Funny, seeing the 'adults' back then, and now realizing I'm at their age, or so.

No kidding about the MILF's there. And Colleen Camp, she's always sorta fascinated me, w/ her characters. I don't know what it was, but she always seemed to stand out with her direct, matter of fact persona. I found it funny and refreshing.
As for fav songs... good grief. Too tough to call. The Plimsouls are all over that sound track, and for good reason. Men at Work ? Josie Cotton ? The P-furs? Bananarama ? All great stuff.
I saw the Pat Traver's band, in a hotel ball room, one spring break, in Daytona..

Here's an interesting tidbit of trivia about Colleen Camp. She was Deborah Foreman's mom in the movie, and Frederick Forrest was the dad. They were ex-hippies who now owned a health food store. And they both still liked to puff a little of the old green now and then too.
Four years earlier Camp and Forrest had appeared together in Apocalypse Now. Forrest played 'Chef' of course, and Camp played Miss May, one of the Playboy dancers entertaining Forrest and the others until the stage got rushed.

I remember her being a character in Magnum,PI. Weird, that such a supporting actress would stand out like that, but what can I say ?

Colleen Camp was the French Upstairs maid in Clue, 1985. so, yes I remember she was a babe. As Wayne would say, babe-alicious.

She sorta reminds me of the character Rose, from 2 and 1/2 Men. Not the voice, of course.
And Buckaroo Banzi... weird 80's flick , to be sure. I found it entertaining, but not sure how it qualifies as a TEEN flick. Oh well.

Your cousin is a very, very lucky man.
And yeah, classic 80's teen flick, to be sure.
