Mergers, bankruptcies, redundancies, take-overs, the ‘credit crunch’…it’s looking uglier than a botoxed Michael Douglas. So, considering we should all be careful with our pennies, what better way to save money than staying in all weekend, watching 80s movies and dancing and singing along to their overbearing soundtracks.I’m proud to say that I still have this - on vinyl!Here are my Top 5 power-dressing movies from the 1980s:1.
