Some might argue that these two are the most iconic young adult movies, at least in the top 10. A time when Emilio Esteves was hawt and Ally Sheedy was on every boys wall. She was atractive on those movies.
Both films had also legendary soundtracks, so many good songs on both films. Slick as leather, tough as any tough guy films, I remember my father and me watching those becouse they were important youth films. Good memories. Recently saw Breakfast Club again, stil holds up today, cool character displays, charm that is the 80s and some timless scenes. |

Also fun side note fact from wiki
"The Brat Pack is a nickname given to a group of young Generation X actors who frequently appeared together in teen-oriented coming-of-age films in the 1980s. First mentioned in a 1985 New York magazine article, it is now usually defined as the cast members of two specific films released in 1985—The Breakfast Club and St. Elmo's Fire—although other actors are sometimes included. The "core" members are considered to be Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, and Ally Sheedy". |

First vote for St. Elmo's. Love Andrew McCarthy's jaded cynical closet romantic persona.

∆ Not from that, but I did have a minor crush on her after going to the cinema to see Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone (1983). I was in elementary school at the time.

The Breakfast Club is brilliant.
St Elmo's Fire is ok...from what I remember, I've not seen it in donkeys years, but saw BC again about 4 years ago. |

I'm surprised the ugly gna-gna Pretty In Pink is not cited.
Yup, my generation (well I was already a bit old for those teen movies) , mentally anyways , and wasn't really impressed. I think SEF was more "adulty" , wasb't it? O did see part of TBC recently and indeed it holds up better than I feared , but still today, I dislike that redhead chick (Ringwald)

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
