Heart Of The 80s

Endless Love was an old movie way back in the early 80's which I was able to see during 1986 (yes, you read right!) at a local moviehouse in our province. It's a movie that I watched 3 times that week, I guess. First, awed by Brooke Shields "Pretty Baby" beauty, who in my book, has the prettiest face ever; Second, getting goosebumps by the love Martin Hewitt and Brooke portrayed on screen; Third, having my own personally intense feelings of being in love with love itself. Ask me why, perhaps those feelings were taken from all the tv shows and movies I watched as an adolescent - during the tumultous times in my life.
