    Your Favorite 80s Miniseries?

    Which 80s miniseries held your attention from start to finish? I'm going with V 1984 The Final Battle. I think it was great from start to finish. My favorite scene will always be when Dianna ate the guinea pig lol. I remember getting all freaked out when I watched that scene. I was like 8 or 9.

    Best 80s Movie Villain

    A strong villain can make a movie stand out. Which one from the 80s left the biggest impression on you. I'm going with Arnold in the movie The Terminator. He was just bad ass in the movie but only in the first film. I wasn't a fan of the other ones.
