Comedies from '80s decade
Here is a list of comedies from the '80s decade. Those were my school days and i have watched these movies, sometimes along with my friends or sometimes alone - but unaware at home.
It was very heroic, in those days, watching movies without acceptance from parents. Very memorable decade and these films were very instrumental in bring up many new things to me.
ideas, fantasies, colors, big picture....it was a different experience.
(the list is in the order of year of production)
