Chick Flick Cherry

Yesterday I revisited the 80's classic Valley Girl. I'm going to go out on a limb and call this Nicholas Cage's best work. Or maybe second only to his cameo role in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Definitely better than the depression-inducing Leaving Las Vegas. This opinion is based almost entirely on his hair in the movie. Gotta admit, I have a little crush on his hair. I tried to convince myself during the watching that I would have been so much more punk than preppy had I had any choice in my attire back in 1983. Since I was still doing the pre-K matching clothes thing with my sister at the time, I don't actually have to face the reality that I've never been cool enough to be punk . . . :)
