But in all seriousness, this is a great film. Instant classic.

I think this was the first movie that we ever watched on the family's first VCR.

Well I guess the 30th Anniversary is as good a time as any.

The Password scene is one of the greatest things ever contributed to cinema.

I watched this numerous times when I was younger. I think Purple Rain is one of the best songs off all time. I can't tell you how many times my mom would play the tape.

This came on VH1 a few weeks ago. I enjoyed the hell out of this movie.

Amazing, been a fun week in MN. July was crazy for 1984; Purple Rain, Let It Be (The Replacements), and Zen Arcade (Hüsker Dü) all dropped.

Apollonia was on MPR talking about how she almost died when they did the 'Lakes of Minnetonka' scene.
