Movie throwback

1.)"The Breakfast Club" (1985) \nNot only one of the best teen movies ever, but also one of the best movies ever. A jock, a prom queen, a nerd, a weirdo and a criminal are all in Saturday detention together to first annoy each other, but then to join together and learn that deep down they are all just teenagers. All the "brat-packers" put on amazing performances, especially Judd Nelson. A film about finding yourself through other people and their struggles, this film will always hit close to home for all high school students, no matter what decade. \n2.)"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (1986)\n"Bueller…Bueller…Bueller." Besides jump-starting Ben Stein's career, this film makes us all wish we could not only get away with skipping school, but drive a Ferrari, sing in a parade and convince a snooty concierge that we are the "Sausage King of Chicago" while doing it. Ferris is also the coolest guy, and as Ed Rooney's secretary says, "The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads -- they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude."\n3.)"Fast Times at Ridgemont High" (1982)\nThis is one of the most realistic looks at '80s high school life, and one of the greatest films because of it. It's probably so realistic because writer Cameron Crowe went back to high school for a year and just wrote about stuff that happened. We all know the Lindas, the girl dating a college guy because high school guys are too immature; the Damones, the guy that steals his best friend's girl just to get some; and the Jeff Spicolis, the guy who just needs "some tasty waves and a cool buzz and (he'll) be fine." \n4.)"The Karate Kid" (1984)\nWax on, wax off. Not the typical '80s high school gang movie, but an amazing film about the East Coast "Daniel-san"'s life in his new Californian home. Learning karate from an old Korean man, getting beat up by Johnny and nervously trying to make a move on an adorable Elisabeth Shue makes this movie great. And how many of you joined a karate class after seeing this film? Or at least how many of you practiced doing the "Crane" on your little brother after seeing it?\n5.)"Porky's" (1982)\nThe ultimate in a good ol' teenage sex romp. The most important thing in the world is sex, sex and more sex for these boys. Whether it's getting "sloppy seconds" from a prostitute named Cherry Forever, using a peep-hole into the girl's locker room, or trying to get some off of the Porky's girls, they'll stop at nothing to get a piece. After viewing the movie, and the scene with Beulah Balbricker's description of the penis she saw in the girl's shower, you'll never be able to hear the word "tally whacker" without thinking of how funny this movie is.\n6.)"Better Off Dead" (1985) \nIf you thought your life sucked, just watch John Cusack's pathetic ode to teenage depression in this irreverent '80s comedy that puts a funny twist on suicide. His girlfriend dumped him, his family is insane, his best friend is a perverted dirt bag and the deranged paperboy is constantly chasing him for $2. What makes matters worse is that all of his suicide attempts keep backfiring. His life starts to pick up when he realizes that the French neighbor really can speak perfect English, but her host brother doesn't know it because, "He keeps putting his testicles all over (her)."\n7.)"The Outsiders" (1983)\nSimilar to "West Side Story" about rival gangs and growing up together but apart because of wealth, Francis Ford Coppola gathered an amazing cast to play the misfits. Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, Ralph Macchio, C. Thomas Howell, Emilio Estevez and Matt Dillon star in this episode of "Before They Were Stars." The only sad thing is that the two main characters, played by Macchio and Howell, are the least known today. Just watching the "Greasers" put a whipping on the rich "Socs" makes you really want to put oil in you hair and move to the wrong side of the tracks.\n8.)"Say Anything" (1989) \nPossibly one of the best love stories ever made, this film taught so many people what love should be about. Standing outside a girl's window holding a boom box above your head blasting Peter Gabriel while she sleeps is one way. It's also about being yourself, especially around your girlfriend's dad by telling him that what you really want to do in life is be with his daughter, because you're "good at it, …or kickboxing." We also learned that once you have sex, your whole life changes, and if you see a partner when you're 60, what you'll be thinking is, "We had sex."\n9.)"Risky Business" (1983)\nThis flick serves as great entertainment for both males and females. For the girls: Tom Cruise in his underwear, and for the guys: the dream of running a brothel out of a basement. And how many people can say they lost their virginity to a teenage prostitute on a train? And for those of you who can say this, how many didn't get charged? Way to go Tom.\n10.)"Weird Science" (1985)\nEvery guy who has seen this movie wishes that this create-a-woman experiment actually could work. Two losers make the perfect woman with their computer -- she's smart, really hot, naked a lot and can grant all their wishes. But what she gives to them is self-confidence, along with amazing cars, clothes and fake IDs. She also showers with them, but being the nerds they are, they keep their underwear on.
