80's Brat Pack movies

Post by tanchett »

I'm going through an 80's movie phase, specifically movies featuring some or all of the Brat Pack. I've rewatched Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, St Elmo's Fire, Say Anything, Adventures in Babysitting, Ferris Beuller's Day Off, Teen Wolf and Can't Buy Me Love. Can anyone recommend any other 80's movies similar to those that are worth a watch?

Footloose is one of my favorites but I haven't seen any of the others on your list. I'm definitely going to check them out, thanks!

Footloose and Dirty Dancing would be two of my top choices. I remember watching Valley Girls, but I don't remember much about it.

For Keeps with Molly Ringwald is one of my favorite 80's movies. It's fairly underrated when compared to her other movies like Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, and The Breakfast Club. Whenever I mention this film most people had completely forgotten about it or never watched it at all. I think For Keeps is one of Molly Ringwald's better movies because it deals with a serious issue and goes beyond just high school drama and teenage angst.

Better off Dead, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Wayne's World, Less Than Zero, and The Lost Boys. Stupid funny, stupid funny, stupid funny, sad, and vampire movie.
