For example, if I were to host an Action movie night, I would put out Die Hard, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Terminator, Lethal Weapon. For an 80's Kids night, I would put out Karate Kid, Goonies, Neverending Story, Labyrinth. Dance night would be Fame, Flashdance, Dirty Dancing, Footloose. Somewhere in there I'd have to have Action/Comedy for Romancing the Stone and Airplane! I'm not sure where I'd put Top Gun or Ferris Bueller's Day Off, but they would have to be in there somewhere.
