10 80s Movie Girlfriends Who Were Way Better Than Yours

1. Watts - Some Kind of Wonderful

Some Kind Of Wonderful It's always an ideal situation when your best friend somehow ends up being the person you fall in love with. Mary Stuart Masterson is the ultimate 80s badass in this film, and I genuinely don't understand how he wasn't into her from the very beginning. She's hot, but in a chill, low maintenance way. She's a drummer, which is always a plus. And best of all, she knows pretty much everything there is to know about you, and she still wants to be with you. Eric Stoltz, you idiot. But what I admire most about her in this film is her sense of loyalty. She really just wants him to be happy, even if that means ending up with someone else. Although she's not above giving Amanda Jones a few words of advice: "You break his heart I break your face." Any girl that will literally fight for you is definitely a keeper.
