Every time I watched it I use to always check to see if I can try and spot some of the out door sceens in the movie so I can go and visit them. Sadly no, as I later learned this movie was not shot in Chicago which is sad. The only Chicago things that were used in the move were a Chicago public transit bus and a shot of the Sears tower. Plus a reference to the Air and Water show which only appears around here in the summer months when the schools are out for summer break. Thankfully some one took the time to really find the real filming locations for Girls Just Want to Have Fun link http://www.itsfilmedthere.com/2012/05/girls-just-want-to-have-fun.html shame to learn it was all shot in Los Angeles.<br />I also adore Teen Witch. What I really like about this film is the moral that Louise learns in the end and I really like her commonsense confident non-conformist best friend. Yes we all want to be popular but being popular does have its price. Which can be exciting and fun in the beginning. And Louise does end up missing her old way of life plus getting revenge on those people who bullied Louise is sweet but at what cost. Still a fun movie to watch for older teenagers and adults.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4374594538719761301.post-2469504324006095872016-06-16T15:16:57.327-04:002016-06-16T15:16:57.327-04:00Eighties films are a firm favourite of mine!

Aside from the sense of instant nostalgia that they stir, I think that there was a lot of good acting, important life lessons, and some seriously cool fashion to be hand in many of them as well. It's honestly hard for me to even shortlist some of my faves, but a small selection of flicks that I can watch a million times and never tire of include Ferris Bueller's Day off, Breakfast Club, The Secret of My Success, 9 to 5, The Karate Kid, all of the Naked Guns and Police Academies, and Ghostbusters. Hmm, I feel a movie marathon weekend coming on... :)<br /><br />xoxo ♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.com
