    A childhood favorite.

    For those who ever wonder what if Lord of the Flies took place at a summer camp during the 80s. I know you're thinking Simpsons did it, but this flick did it first.

    Cheesy 80s movie, but I loved it as a kid! Now, having watched good movies, I realize it was such a waste of time, but hey, I enjoyed it then! I love one song in the soundtrack, which I can't find anywhere...I'd pay anything to have that song!!!!!!

    Another one I loved as a youth. It was titled "The Butterfly Revolution" on my unnecessarily bulky VHS ex-rental copy, that was far too big for my video shelf. (Remember them?)

    Cheesy 80s movie, but I loved it as a kid! There's one song on the soundtrack (when Trixie is dancing at the party) after the revolution goes down ("Get It Together" by Linda Lawley). I would pay anything to have that song, but can't find it anywhere!!! Arggg Good memories, though...and who is this idiot commenting 'Not Interested?!' Wouldn't NOT commenting reflect that a bit more...stooopid! LOL
