Valley Girl is a 1983 cult classic starring Deborah Foreman and Nicolas Cage. Deborah plays Julie, a total valley girl who likes shopping and has a popular boyfriend...until she meets New Wave guy Randy (Nic Cage) at a party. It's love at first sight, and they lead some sort of Romeo and Juliet existence where apparently Valley people and Hollywood people just can't mix. However, it ends up a whole lot better for them in the end. This movie is a prime example of early 80's preppy fashion. There's pastels and popped colors everywhere. Also, this movie has a great New Wave soundtrack. Plus, there's all kinds of great Valley speak in it. I totally recommend it!

| Oh look, a girl going apeshit over red shoes! What did I tell you? |
 |
| Check out this classic mall architecture! They don't make them like that anymore. |
 |
| Nice Woody Woodpecker pin |
 |
| Dig the headband? |
 |
| Look at this guy's popped collar. If this is a Lacoste polo, my boyfriend has the same one. I wonder what that says about him... |
 |
| Classic early 80's beachwear |
 |
| I love her bikini! |
 |
| This is like my dream beach outfit: a red bikini and those wicked awesome sunglasses! Love it! |
 |
| You can just imagine that that girl is saying "as if!" |
 |
| Totally broin' out! |
 |
| I want her hair! |
 |
| This room literally has a Devo and an ET poster. |
 |
| New Wave dudes crashing the Valley party |
 |
| Dig the plastic earrings that match her monochromatic outfit |
 |
| Is this a semi-popped collar? Also, I never knew that the protocol was to wear it outside of the polo. |
 |
| As if the star-crossed lovers theme couldn't be any more obvious |
 |
| Purple and pink? Yes please |
 |
| My favorite sunglasses again! |
 |
| How funny is this? A polo and boatshoes lying on the ground. Obviously a preppy guy is having sex! |
 |
| Barracuda jacket. Why can't we bring those back? |
 |
| Nice tux! hahahaha |
 |
| Let's get a full body shot there |
 |
| Look at this woman: her skirt looks like Mario Kart |
 |
| New Wave guys crashing the Valley prom. Is there anything they won't crash? |
 |
| In a close up on this lady, we see that she looks just like 80's Elizabeth Taylor. |
|
 |
| I think they're such a cute couple. |
I gotta go now, I'm on reserve battery power! Bye!
