Top Grossing Movies of 1987

According to the Internet Movie Data Base, the top 3 money making movies in 1987 were:

1). 3 Men and a Baby (Steve Guttenberg has rarely been heard from since.)

2). Fatal Attraction (No, no, no. You look at a naked Glenn Close in order to get turned off from sex. )

3). Beverly Hills Cop II (When
a guy with a CPA name hit the top of the music world with a catchy theme song.)

Flashback: June 1987

High school is ovah for us! Outside of all our glee, and maybe some sorrow, the following events occurred in the world this month:
  • President Ronald Reagan famously demands Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall.
  • With the first pick in the Major League Baseball amateur draft, the Seattle Mariners select high school standout Ken Griffey, Jr.
  • Danny Harris beats Edwin Moses and ends Moses' nine year streak of 122 consecutive high hurdle race wins.
  • The Lakers beat the Celtics in the NBA Finals to win their fourth championship of the 1980's.
  • Margaret Thatcher wins a third consecutive term as Britain's Prime Minister.
  • The media dubbed "Subway Vigilante", Bernhard Goetz, is acquitted for the shooting of four young black men who had tried to rob him.

No.1 Pop Songs for June 1987

According to Billboard™, they were "You Keep Me Hangin' On" by Kim Wilde, "Always" by Atlantic Starr, "Head to Toe" by Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam and "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" by Whitney Houston.

All in all, a pretty crappy month in Top 40 pop music.

First page of the Senior Class section from the yearbook that year. I actually remember eleven of these people, including Jared Klumker and Tina Okawa (in the big non-portrait picture down in the corner).



Update: The guy in the middle in the first row of pics.
