What could make a fun Wednesday ?!

One of my favorite plot-drivers in a movie is the  notion of  "what could

go wrong?”

This rhetorical question is usually pondered with hilarious precision in '80s road-trip comedies, whether it occurs during cross-country travel ("Planes, Trains & Automobiles") or in one night in a city ("Adventures in Babysitting.")

                                                                                                                                             

Of course,  the something  that DOES go wrong is most entertaining when it veers

without looking into unapologetic ridiculousness.

Another quintessential movie of this  type  is" License to Drive." It's protagonist even directly asks this to the audience.

The madcap antics of this '80s classic is enough to keep me watching, especially the chase sequence involving a Sinatra-loving, car-stealing drunk. 

Its also nostalgically rad, showcasing the  ying yang dynamics of BFFs Corey Feldman and Corey Haim, aka the Coreys. and features of one the best '80s pop anthems. 

Now, get out of this blog  and into Blue Starlite ,tonight, for a  screening of  "License to Drive" (1988), along  with "Cars"(2006).
