I watched both in the theaters as a teenager and didn't really like either tbh. or Breakfast club. But I loved 16 Candles.

I rewatched The Breakfast Club a few months ago and still loved it. Obviously more of a dialogue piece, but just solid conversation. My dope is in Johnson's pants. Ha ha

Decided on a sweet double feature from '88 that fits my monthly "family" theme: Twins and Dead Ringers.

I’m anxious about rewatching some of the movies I loved as a kid from that era. When I watched The Great Outdoors a few years ago, I was pretty disappointed. I used to absolutely love Summer Rental. Have you seen that one?

I watched a brat pack doc that took me down the 80s rabbit hole. I rewatched Pretty in Pink with my 19 year old daughter. It was quite bad. Better Off Dead with John Cusack was a damn classic. I rewatched last month and couldn't get halfway through it. Smh. No way the Great Outdoors could be bad if I rewatched it? Right? Ha ha

I also rewatched Pretty in Pink the other weekend because so randomly my MIL who is dealing with dementia insisted on watching it (she fell asleep about 5 mins in) and I agree, it stunk. I remember thinking that was a pretty good movie. It wasn’t. For as problematic as it is for today’s standards, Sweet Sixteen somehow held up better.

I think Duckie is one of the worst 80s movie characters. Some Kind of Wonderful is the better version of the same movie.

He is at least unique and interesting- though very annoying. Andrew McCarthy and James Spader in Pretty in Pink are so bad in such a generic way too.

Twins was all the rage in 1988. Check out Big Business, it has 2 pairs of twins!

No promises it is good. My mom liked it and so I saw it a few times as a kid. From the director of Airplane so you know it’s going to be over the top.

Old Henry (Kanopy): 2021 western, IMDB 7.3. Tim Blake Nelson and his son find a man injured by a gunshot with a bag of cash. Pa seems pretty good with a gun.

This was 98 minutes, basically one simple story. I liked it - it’s a sort of story we’ve seen before, but it was well done here.

I've watched this a couple of times, thought it was a pretty solid western with a cool twist. Definitely worth a watch IMO.
