Valley Girl (1983)
a romantic comedy about Julie, a popular San Fernando Valley girl, who falls for Randy, a punk rocker from Hollywood. Their different worlds clash, particularly with Julie's friends who disapprove of Randy, creating a conflict of social pressures and self-discovery as Julie navigates her feelings for Randy and her desire to fit in with her established social circle.
and classic 80s hip hop film:
Krush Goove!
Russell Walker has signed all of the hottest acts to his Krush Groove record label, including Run-D.M.C., Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde (Alonzo Brown), and Kurtis Blow. Rick Rubin produces their records. When Run-D.M.C. has a hit record and Russell doesn't have the money to press records, he borrows money from a street hustler. At the same time, Russell and his brother Run are both competing for the heart of R&B singer-percussionist Sheila E. Also appearing in the film are LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, New Edition, The Fat Boys and some of their songs, as well as others from Chaka Khan, Debbie Harry, and the Gap Band. Members of the R&B group Full Force also make a cameo in the film as bodyguards.
