It? If You Want Clowns...
Try Killer Klowns From Outer Space! I was hanging out at a friend's place back in the late '80s and we stumbled upon Killer Klowns one day while flipping through the channels and we couldn't stop watching.
Ready Player One
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline is such a fun read (and listen). I enjoyed it so much, I've read and listened to it multiple times. If you're interested in the 1980s at all and like near future science fiction, give this one a try! Oh, and Wil Wheaton does the narration for the audiobook.
