St elmos fire and other 80's films

[FoxySam18]

You forgot Sixteen Candles!

But you're right about Molly. Just the wrong colouring for wearing pink full stop.

Moll Flanders will be turning in her bazooka sized coffin.

Have you got the DVD boxsets?

I forgot about Weird Science!!

 

[Henry Hedgehog]

Out of the films John Hughes directed:

Good:

Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987)
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
Sixteen Candles (1984)

Bad:

Curly Sue (1991)
Uncle Buck (1989)
She's Having a Baby (1988)
Weird Science (1985)
The Breakfast Club (1985) (Although many disagree on this one).

Not a great record, though he probably did help bring down communism with all those scenes of schoolkiRAB driving porsches in his films.

The Outsiders
Jumpin Jack Flash, this film still cracks me up.

 

[ReGgAe TiCo MaN]

The Breakfast Club
St. Elmo's fire
Pretty in Pink

Electric Dreams, have put it onto a DVD.

I like the brat pack films, like Molly Ringwald.

 

[wildimagination2003]

I love all of the above that I have seen! What's wrong with the ones you think are bad?

 

[spikedhats]

"Girls just want to have fun" starring a young Sarah Jessica parker is wonderfully 80's

[lady_armand2]

I've always liked wargames

great music too!

 

[masterofwined]

St Elmo's Fire, The Brteakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, About Last Night, Some Kind Of Wonderful, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Buellers Day Off are all classics.

The Coreys were in some great 80's movies too such as The Lost Boys and License to Drive.

I know this is a movies thread but if anyone likes to read check out Looking for Andrew McCarthy by Jenny Colgan for a bit of brat pack nostalgia. Warning to the guys though, it is chick lit!!

 

[jolligan]

hope you didn't miss war games as it was on tonight on film4. excellent film.

Stand By Me is my favourite with River Phoenix

I also love:-
Fame
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
The Breakfast Club
The Lost Boys
Officer and a Gentleman
Pretty In Pink
The Outsiders
Risky Business
Top Gun
National Lampoon's Vacation


2 bad ones with fond memories -
License to Drive (with the Coreys and Heather Graham!)
Jimmy Reardon - with gorgeous River Phoenix and a young Matthew (L) Perry as the geeky mate

And was Say Anything out in the late 80s - with John Cusack and Ione Skye? That was a great romantic comedy.
