The hot girl from Weird Science had a place of honor on my wall. After all, she was scientifically proven to be the perfect woman.

Few things were as cool as a 1980s Lamborghini. I imagined myself picking up Kelly LeBrock in one of these.

I had at least one Star Wars movie poster up at all times. Usually it was from the first one that came out. 

Freddie Kruger was scary, but awesome at the same time. Putting him on my wall showed that I wasn't afraid of anything.

For a certain period of time, Paulina Porizkova from the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue was on my wall. I remember borrowing my dad's copy of the magazine when he wasn't

looking.

My dad owned an autoshop that specialized in foreign cars. I always hoped that a Ferrari would need service one day, but that never happened. 

Listening to Metallica meant that I was cool. Putting their poster on the wall meant that I was cooler than everyone else. 

This was a sweet car. I wanted to get behind the wheel of one, but the closest I ever came was this poster.

I lived near the Pacific Ocean, so JAWS was a huge deal. I had to put this poster on my wall, since it proved that I wasn't afraid of sharks. 

When I was a kid (before I started hanging up pictures of bikini girls) I was all about He Man. Of course he was on my wall. 

Back before the WWF became the WWE, I watched wrestling with my brothers. The Iron Sheik was one of my favorites.

Before he was the "Governator," Arnold Schwarzenegger was the Terminator. Really, do I need to say more?

Yeah, I might've watched Star Wars: Return of the Jedi almost daily just to see Carrie Fisher in her metal bikini. 

This was the first Stephen King movie that I ever watched. It still scares me a little bit (don't tell anyone.)

Yes, I did outgrow E.T. at some point, but when the movie first came out, I wanted that poster on my wall. He was an alien with a heart!

After watching The Goonies, I spent about a year trying to convince my brothers into helping me find a hidden pirate treasure. They never wanted to join me on a

Goonies-style adventure.

I don't know about you, but I wanted to BE the karate kid. 

In my mind, this was the coolest Tom Cruise ever got. He won over Kelly McGillis and he was a fighter pilot!

This movie had it all: action, adventure, history, Karen Allen. I wanted to be Indiana Jones at some point in my childhood. 

Child's Play is a little cheesy, but it's also a little scary. I enjoyed creeping out my brothers with this poster.

Growing up in California, pro skateboarding was the big thing. I wanted to be able to do tricks just like Tony Hawk.

The original skateboarders didn't have parks or fancy halfpipes. They had empty swimming pools. 

The movie Ghostbusters was a little funny and a little scary, all at the same time. Plus it had Sigourney Weaver in that skimpy dress. 

I used to surf and wished that I could find waves to ride like this. 

The Lost Boys made is cool to be a vampire. 

This poster? My older brother tried to steal it from me more than once. It's pretty obvious why. 

Even though she's not in a bikini, Cindy Crawford in this wet bathing suit? Yeah. I took down my Transformers poster for her.

Pantera was right up there with Metallica in my opinion. I thought they were rock and roll personified. 

Suicidal Tendencies had the coolest posters. And they were from Southern California, not far from where I grew up. 

I went through a serious He Man phase, but to honest, I really hung this poster up because of She Ra's barely-there clothing.

Aliens was another childhood favorite. It had Sigourney Weaver (just like Ghostbusters) and a lot of violence and gore. 

Bruce Campbell's character had it all, until the evil set in. I thought this movie was a little cheesy, but it's still cool. 

Skeletor might've been the bad guy, but he was still cool. He had the best weapons out of anyone in the Marvel Universe.

I had M.A.S.K. toys, I watched the show, I played the video games, and of course, I had this poster.

To be honest, the whole appeal of this Thundercats poster lies in the foreground.

Back in the 1980s, Optimus Prime and his Transformers were everything. I wished that my dad's car would turn into an awesome robot. 

This poster had it all. A girl in a bikini and a cool car.

Yes, Star Wars is represented on here a lot. It was a huge part of my 1980s childhood though. I watched all of the movies multiple times and hung the

posters on my walls. 

This movie was disturbing and scary. The gory dripping blood effect on the poster made it even more so. 

I was a serious Star Trek fan, thanks to my dad. He owned this movie on VHS.
