KnockBack: February 2022 Primary Election

Hello!

As usual, we're giving you -- our beloved audience -- the opportunity to help select an upcoming episode of our retro and nostalgia podcast, KnockBack.

Here's what you do: Submit a single topic idea in the thread below, and then use Patreon's "like" system (which is a heart) to show support for others' submissions that you like. Near the end of the month, we'll round-up your answers and distill everything to the five most-popular choices, which you can then vote on.
There are rules! Please follow them. Make only a single submission, and ensure that no one else has already made your suggestion (duplicates will be deleted). Please remember that anything released after February of 2012 isn't eligible, but everything before that is: Video games, television shows, films, and so on and so forth.

Okay, that's it. Have at it!

Streets of Fire (1984) - from the creative team that brought us The Warriors (1979). A neo-noir 50s/80s rock and roll fable where everyone is 30 or younger and 18 year-old Diane Lane is a rock star. Featuring Willem Dafoe, Rick Moranis and songs written by Jim Steinman the dude who wrote hits for Meatloaf and Bonnie Tyler. Cult Classic. Oh, and there are debated statements saying it influenced Final Fight and Streets of Rage.
