Her first baby come out sideways; she didn’t scream or nothin’
Trains, Planes & Automobiles, one of my favourite ever comedies is on E4+1 at the moment.
Randomly, we were talking about this film earlier at work today, saying that it was one of the those true comedies that stood the test of time. We compared it to Shaun Of The Dead, which is probably the 2000s film which will be one of the defining comedies of our era.
I’ve been trying to think of anything else that has made a similar impact in terms of defining a generation, or at least a period of comedies in terms of film-making, and the closest I can get is There’s Something About Mary, which was utter, utter genius,
Any other suggestions?

Men Without Hats - Safety Dance
Thanks to the combined efforts of Lacey and @FeverPitch on Twitter a couple of weeks ago, I managed to find this track from only a snippet of a half-remembered lyric.
And what a song! An absolute classic example of 80s synth-pop.

New Order - Blue Monday
Pterodactyls’ post earlier today reminded me of this track, which is one of those absolutely storming tunes that you can’t help but fall in love with every time you hear it.
This is the full version, 7:25 of goodness, and just the intro is two minutes long. Epic.

Got no sound at work, but if this is the one that goes “Higher and higher, TEMPTATION” then it’s worthy of a reblog.
Now, does anyone have any Bronski Beat?
