The Breakfast Club (1985)
Brilliantly classic 80's
This is an all time brilliant classic cult movie. It was great in the 80's and its great today. Teenagers of whatever era are able to watch it and relate to it. And there's always one character we can all relate to and that's what makes it such a wonderful movie. The script is witty . The actors brilliant. The music legendary. In fact the entire movie is filled with classic scenes and hilarious dialog. This is the story of a group of kids from opposite ends of the social field being forced to be together in detention. Despite the problems these kids all have you can't help but like each and every one of them and despite the fact they can't stand each other in the beginning by the end friendships blossom as all have united and become a team. Judd Nelson is of course utterly brilliant in his famous role as Bender. He's rebellious, sexy . Just the kind of guy you always wanted to date as a teenager. Hope this movie continues to be shown across generations. An unforgettable movie!
I Wish I Were Stephanie V (2009)
Cute quirky independent comedy
Have to say as an Independent Comedy Nerd I absolutely enjoyed this wonderful movie. I saw it in New York a few years back and have been trying to get it on DVD but to no avail. It tells the story of 3 girls from 3 different cultural backgrounds living in Australia. Each girl has her own problems struggling with what is expected of her from her family and socially. This is especially seen with the character of Naz - a Muslim girl expected to marry a much older man and instead she falls for a much younger Australian boy. And with Helen - the Greek tennis nerd who has her heart set on the unobtainable Jimmy but then who unexpectedly falls for the macho Jewish stud - Tony. The story is a beautiful coming of age piece about the lives of these 3 girls and the unexpected twists and turns their lives take. And of course there is the element of tragedy when Helen realizes that the exquisitely beautiful Stephanie's life is far from perfect. The cast is superb. I especially like the larger than life Jill Mckay as Yaya. As well as Chloe Traicos who does a great job playing the nerdy Helen. Altogether a really enjoyable piece.
