Some of the most classic movies came from the 1980s, and are
once again becoming popular with a majority of teens. Now it’s time to scour
the internet and check your Netflix account to make sure you don’t miss a
single one. I feel it is necessary to mention that these films aren’t being
rated in any order or scale, just by whether or not they made it on the list.
I had never heard of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” before writing this list, which is a surprise to me, considering that it is such an amazing movie. Some kids just need a day off to take it easy, but Ferris Bueller, he needs nine. With a slightly creepy principal on his tracks, Ferris travels all over Chicago, with his friend Cameron, and girlfriend Sloane. While this movie has made it onto the list, it is not recommended to use any of his tricks for skipping school, especially, if your parents have seen the film.
A lot of great movies were written by John Hughes, and “Pretty in Pink” is no exception. Andie Walsh is a high school student, working to take care of her father, after her mother leaves. Though working at a record store isn’t easy when you’re stuck between your best friend who is obsessed with you and a guy that’s different than you in all the wrong ways. Besides proving that money doesn’t define who you are and holding her head high, Andie proves that she is stronger than other people think.
What would happen if a movie was created that mixed animation and live-action? You’d get a fantastic movie, also known as “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”. I don’t see any reason to hold a grudge against a toon… unless one killed your brother that is. Running around Hollywood and Toontown can get confusing, especially when you’re living by cartoon rules. Eddie Valiant, an alcoholic detective, does it though with the help of toons all over the city, as he learns to let go of his grudge and to let himself laugh again.
Ending with a big one, it’s hard to say you haven’t at least heard of “The Breakfast Club”. After its feature in Pitch Perfect, teens are singing along with The Simple Minds, and relating to the problems with stereotyping that featured in the film. “You see us as you want to see us. In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions, but what we found out is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club.”
Honorable mentions go to “Footloose”, “Dirty Dancing”, “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial”, “Gremlins”, “Back to the Future”, “Ghost Busters”, “Top Gun”, “The Goonies”, “St. Elmo’s Fire”, “Say Anything”,“Big”, and “The Karate Kid”. All of those movies were just as amazing, but just didn’t get a paragraph written about them. Another honorable mention goes to the “Indiana Jones” series, and the “Star Wars series” that weren’t included due to them being sequels. Also the movie “Home Alone”, which was only a year shy of being included on the list, but is still an amazing movie.
