Fandom Friday - You're the Birthday, You're the Birthday, You're the Birthday, Boy or Girl


Welcome to Fandom Fridays! Occasionally, on a Friday, Don't Sit Next To Us will bring you a unique post on one of our favourite films or franchises or film topic. Since it's my birthday today, I decided the first Fandom Friday will feature my Top 25 80s Movies List. (I love that decade)
