I Love The 80’s
What is your favorite film? Or, to be more specific, what is your favorite 80’s film? I’m a lover of movies in general, whether it’s a musical, action, drama, comedy or chick-flick. 80’s films are possibly my favorite genre of films. The music, the style, the actors, everything about them mesmerizes me. The teen films of the era are innocent but touching, something today’s teen films often miss.
Personally, I love The Breakfast Club. Truly, I love any “brat pack” film. However, The Breakfast Club, was my first “brat pack” film. Also, it is completely timeless and something any teen can relate to. The movie is about the superficial differences we see, the things that separate us, along with something as simple as detention to bring the differences so close we see what lies beneath. It shows how people who are so different, and keep walls up, can become best friends within a few hours.
Another great 80’s flick, WarGames, starring Matthew Broderick, is celebrating it’s 25th Anniversary by playing in select theaters nationwide on Thursday, July 24th. The showing is one night only and will include never-before-seen interviews with film’s creators and the cast (including Broderick and Ally Sheedy) and crew on how the movie was ahead of its time and its relevance today. Additionally, only at this one night event, get a sneak peek at the making of the sequel – WarGames: The Dead Code.
This anniversary shows us, that while 80’s movies are things of the past, they will continue to be forever remembered and loved.
