7-14 June
This week in the 80s…on 10 June 1982 Steven Spielberg’s science fiction PG-rating film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, became one of the highest-grossing box-office success, that is until Jurassic Park was released many years later in 1993. “Phone home”!
On 12 June, 1981 Raiders of the Lost Ark was released. It set a major standard for many action-adventure films to date.

Please put on a party post August 2010 as i am overseas at the moment and for those who want to live and breathe true 80s for one night with people that were there! Ferris Buellers Day Off and Miami Vice not to mention St Elmos Fire were all films that bought one into contact with the 80s vibe .
I think i can see at 40 hands from the class of 87 who would be there.
It is the job of every museum to not only bring history to the present but to immerse the viewer if only for a brief moment..LOL
Class of 87 is counting on you powerhouse…Time for immersion post August.Pleeeeeaaassseee.LOL.
