Had to start this one since the movie seems to strike a note in 80's nostalgia, summer, Greece and beautiful women.

100. If you dream of being a mermaid (in this movie), you'll be one in the future (Splash)
99. If you have a road accident in this movie... you'll have one in real life (RIP Valerie)
98. If you're having the time of your life with the hottest creatures on earth (Valerie and Daryl), you'll have to complain about how messy your place is and, guess what, your ass won't get kicked.

97. You can laugh at the Three Stooges and still get laid.
96. Pre-AIDS 80s: life was oh, so innocent and uncomplicated.
95. Peter Gallagher was, and still is, kind of creepy.

94. Daryl Hannah is a better guitar player than, say, Lady Gaga. Her chops kick butt.
93. In Greece, when you see a beautiful girl who doesn't want a ride in your car, you have to leave the car in the middle of the road -horribly parked- and take the bus with her. Bonus: You'll see her naked as a fish.
92. Greeks invented Tempur-pedic mattresses so you can bang your lover while your girlfriend is asleep next to both of you.

91. Only non-Greek beautiful people shed their clothes at Greek beaches.
90. Greek grape stomping is more fun with bikini-clad, nubile young women.
89. Of course the Greeks can't pay their debts! Really, pay attention to this movie. It's all making sense now.

90. Bras were looked down upon in the early '80s. You were a social outcast if you donned one.
89. No one pays attention to signs on the Greek islands, especially ones that ban nudity on a beach.
88. Huge bushy eyebrows on a guy were in no way a turn off for women.
87. There are no theaters on the island except for one that plays non-stop Three Stooges movies.
86. Chicago is a rockin' band.

Conquer your fear, and I promise you, you will conquer death.
