Managed to talk the other half into sitting and watching St. Elmo's Fire with me last night, after years of resistance, and she quite liked it.
So, I'm after some recommendations for other films in a similar vein, i.e. brat pack stuff, comedy / drama / romantic / whatever, all from the same kind of era.

I've started a little list of my own favourites, just wondering if anyone had any personal recommendations?

Breakfast Club (Had to be in there at no. 1 )
Pretty in Pink
St. Elmo's
Ferris Bueler's Day Off

and slight deviation, but the right kind of era...
Mannequin (Hmmmm, Cattral )
Footloose ()

Any more?

 

the outsiders
less than zero
wierd science
risky business
rumblefish
the lost boys
any john hughes film
and then theres young guns !

 

Goonies

 

Apart from Home Alone!

Not really brat pack but had Judd Nelson and Elizabeth Perkins ( ) in it - From the Hip.

 

The only good one was weird science, the rest were just 80's pap, filmed to make the "actoors" look good.

 

Splash
Uncle Buck
Spaceballs
Flight of the Navigator
Planes, Trains and Automobiles

 

Was that the one where he played the smart alec lawyer who ended up defending a serial killer? Good film

Another not strictly Brat Pack movie but it had Rob Lowe and the only 2 decent things about Demi Moore in, About Last Night.

Sorry Chip, I beg to differ, most of John Waters' films were pretty damned good Although he did introduce the world to Ricki Lake

 

Uncle Buck

classic

 

spies like us
the great outdoors,remember the speedboat called SUCK MY WAKE

 

National Lampoooooooooooooons!!

 

Animal house!!!!!


uncle buck playing golf!!!!!! classic

Mart

 

You had the correct choice with The Breakfast club.

After that for me it has to be Young Guns as already mentioned! Love this film!

"Yeah Charlie, Yeah!!"

 

Rob Lowe's starring in the stage version of A Few Good Men, and as my wife's a big fan, I obtained several squillion brownie points by booking tickets for a fortnight's time - I believe it opened last night.

As for films of the 80's, Breakfast Club is definitely No 1 and Judd Nelson was as cool as **** in them days.

Anyone remember Billionaire Boys Club?

 

Without a doubt:

The Breakfast Club
Ferris
The Lost Boys
Animal House

 

Great Outdoors

 

is it me or are some people missing out what the Brat Pack thing means?

 

Which Brat Pack member are you?

 

I liked the Lost Boys and Stand By Me.

The outsiders was one of my faves as a kid, not quite the same to watch as an adult.

I never liked the breakfast club, not enough good looking men.

 

*cough* shallow

Stand by me is awesome as well.

 

Flatliners.

That kid Billy whats his face is pretty scary

 

Well I know great outdoors wasnt part of the brat pack movies, but the thread seemed to steer off into just good 80's films, so I thought that should be in

 

I didn't name any names

 

Some kind Of Wonderful (Pretty in Pink the other way around)
Can't Buy Me Love

 

Can't believe no-one's mentioned Red Dawn yet !! Wolverines !!!

 

Billionaire Boys Club was my favourite and as Cris mentioned About Last Night was worth it for seeing Demi Moore.

and wargames...... first look at ally sheedy!!!
