The Breakfast Club: Without doubt, John Hughes' The Breakfast Club is one of the greatest teen movies of all-time, if not the best. Without it, we might not have witnessed the phenomenal rise of the 'Brat Pack'; the group of actors synonymous with the teen films of the '80s.
They were five teenage students with nothing in common, faced with spending a Saturday detention together in their High School library. At 7am, they had nothing to say, but by 4pm, they had bared their souls to each other and become good friends. To the outside world they were simply the Jock, the Brain, the Criminal, the Princess, and the Kook, but to each other, they would always be the Breakfast Club.
Sixteen Candles: Samantha Baker (Molly Ringwald) is approaching her sixteenth birthday, but sees little to celebrate about: her family have, in any case, forgotten her big day, and she is suffering from a severe bout of unrequited love. Worse still, the object of her affections is being courted by the school's most desirable student - can Samantha trust her quarry to value brains over beauty? John Hughes' teen comedy features a soundtrack including Spandau Ballet, Thompson Twins and The Stray Cats.
Weird Science: It's all in the name of science. Weird Science.
The Frankenstein legend takes an uproarious twist in this outrageous special effects - laden comedy from John Hughes. Nerdy computer whiz, Wyatt Donnelly, and best friend, Gary Wallace (Anthony Michael Hall), endeavour to create the "perfect woman" (the magnificent, Kelly Le Brock). Like a computer generated fairy godmother, the duo's out-of-this-world creation guides the pair through the pleasures and pitfalls of adolescence.
This far-out sci-fi fable brings every-one's favourite teen fantasies to life through the miracle of Weird Science.
