Top That!

If you haven't seen this song and dance number from Teen Witch (God bless you, 1989) then you are missing out! Never fear, Teen Witch virgins! My friend Caitlyn shined the light on this little gem for me and I think it's my duty to pay it forward.

All you need to know about the movie is this: The blonde girl recently found out she's a witch and starts to use her powers in all the ways a teenage girl in high school probably would at first, and then lessons are learned about the value of not cheating your way through life.

Now watch this cranana worthy clip from the movie!







Ahh, the 80's! Weren't they something? Not sure what's more crananas, the wardrobe, the dancing or the awesome rapping. I know 80's movies can be hokey and dated from time to time but this is bad even for the 80's! There are other movies that came out in 1989 that have held up much better - Field of Dreams, Say Anything, When Harry Met Sally, just to name a few. What are your thoughts?

Intrigued? Here are some interesting tidbits about this flick to perhaps, entice you to watch the whole movie:

-The movie received two Young Artist Award nominations in 1990; best actor in a motion picture and best actress in a motion picture. Best Actor nominee, Joshua John Miller seemingly a bit out of place, with the likes of Joaquin Pheonix, Sean Astin, Kirk Cameron, and Fred and Ben Savage.
