I’m a product of the 80s — the decade which many call (rightfully so) The peak of American pop culture.
So when I found out that HR Pao, a YouTuber who creates vintage tributes, is looking to get a KickStarter campaign going…
I knew I had to pass along his campaign TRAILER (click video above) so you can determine if you also want to help kick off his campaign, which begins Tuesday, May 21st.
He’ll be using the funds to get the music licenses and pitch the final film to a streaming platform.
On a very related note, Harris Fellman posted that the list below was commissioned by Lottoland in the UK, which probably explains why they list Dirty Dancing in the top spot. ;)
Still, it’s a good list… and brings back many memories.
Any movie they’re missing?
