What was the Best Movie Party of the 80's?

Here are your nominees:

Back to School

The setup:

Wealthy businessman Thornton Mellon -- in an effort to inspire and keep his son from dropping out -- enrolls and joins him at college. Father, son (and the son's best friend) have adjacent dorm rooms, until Thornton has the walls knocked out to create a luxury suite and then throws a post mid-terms bash to blow off some steam.

The highlights:

• Seminal 80's band Oingo Boingo plays the gig and rocks out on "Dead Man's Party."
• Police sent to break things up bring cases of beer instead.
• Thornton frolics in the hot tub with four bikini-clad coeds.

Bachelor Party

The setup:

The title says it all. Tom Hanks is groom-to-be Rick, and his brother and five degenerate best friends throw him a bachelor party "with chicks, and guns, and fire trucks, and hookers, and drugs, and booze..."

The highlights:

•  Rick's rival Cole offers him a Porsche to call off the wedding.
• "Drugs to the right, hookers to the left!"
• An Indian pimp, suicide attempts, an exotic dancer, and a donkey that OD's.

Sixteen Candles

High school hunk Jake Ryan has everyone over to his house for a rager.

• Long Duk Dong finds his Amazonian soulmate.
• Jake's girlfriend Carolyn gets her hair hacked.
• Barbells crash through the floor and destroy the wine cellar
• The aftermath: Pizzas on the turntable, suds coming out of the air vents, and Ted the geek leaves with Carolyn in a Rolls Royce.

Weird Science

The setup:

Teenagers Gary and Wyatt go mad scientist and create their dream woman -- who goes on to throw a "nasty little soiree" at Wyatt's house

The highlights:

• "A missile... A missile in my house Gary!" 
• Wyatt's grandparents placed in suspended animation (and the kitchen is blue for some reason.)
• Supernatural whirlwinds that strip girls of their clothes and send the piano crashing into a gazebo in the backyard.
• Killer mutants crash their motorcycles through the front windows.
• Aforementioned mutants dispatched by Gary and his .44 handgun

Risky Business

The setup

"Future enterpriser" Joel Goodson just wants to graduate and go on to major in business at Princeton. But when he gets mixed up with sexy call girl Lana (Rebecca DeMornay), Joel's house party becomes a high-priced brothel and his high school friends the customers.

The highlights:

• Party tunes that include Talking Heads' "Swamp" and Prince's "D.M.S.R." 
• Amidst the debauchery, Princeton admissions officer Bill Rutherford arrives to interview Joel.
• Joel and Lana duck out to make love on a real train.
• Rutherford makes a couple of new friends.

Revenge of the Nerds

The setup:

College dorks trying to form a fraternity throw a dud of a party -- until "wonder joints" and the girls of Omega Mu kick things into high gear.

The highlights:

• "Are You Ready For the Sex Girls?" (Possibly the best party song ever!)
• Booger, Poindexter, and Louis all find hook ups.
• "You Mu's sure can party!"
