Crucial
First of all, let me start by saying that Im not sure if theres a thread of these already out there, if there is, apology in advance.

Alright, after thats out the way -

Im of a member of the younger viewing audience of Psych, turning 17 this January.
Obviously, that means I wasnt around for a lot of the movies referenced by Psych throughout the show, and I decided to try and fix that, one bit at a time.

What I wanna do is make a list of movies that have been referenced by Psych and us younger audience might not know about.

Ill start by throwing out 'The Breakfast Club' out there, watched it the other night for the first time I enjoyed it a lot.
Its been referenced a few times and mainly in Murder?... Anyone?... Anyone?... Bueller?

Alright so, lets see what you guys throw out there for me and possibly others to watch :3

List:

-The Breakfast Club.
- Highlander.

here are the references i could think of at the moment:

1. teen wolf, footloose (and down the stretch...)

2. goonies and indiana jones (the greatest adventure in the history of cable)

3.back to the future III (shawn takes a shot in the dark) and while you're at it, you could also watch back to the future I and II- the best trilogy, if you ask me laugh.gif

4. of course, friday the thirteenth (tuesday the seventeenth)

5. the omen, silence of the lambs, basic instinct (scary sherry)

6. flashdance (lassie did a bad, bad thing- shawn's flashdance moves- priceless )
