80’S MOVIES REWIND

“Teen Wolf” was based on the original 1985 film starring Michael J. Fox in the leading role and shares a similar plot in comparison to the TV show remake.  In celebration of the DVD release of the TV show adaptation, we will take a look back at other 80s films that would make great TV shows such as: The Breakfast Club, Adventures in Babysitting, and The Goonies.

THE BREAKFAST CLUB

One cannot discuss 80s movies without touching on the John Hughes film that transcended generations after it’s initial release in 1985 – The Breakfast Club.  The movie tells the story of five high school students who are forced to spend one Saturday in detention together.  Belonging in different cliques in their school, these five strangers come face-to-face with each other’s problems and insecurities and learn to see pass their shallow outlook in life.  This coming of age film is still one will continue to remain relevant for future generations. 

ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING

Before Chris Columbus became a household name with film such as Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, he made his directorial debut in the 1980s film Adventures with Babysitting, starring Elizabeth Shue and Bradley Whitford.  The story follows Chris Parker, a high school senior who’s set to go to her dream date with her boyfriend, Mike Todwell, when he cancels last minute and instead reluctantly accepts a babysitting job.  While on the job, Chris receives a call from her best friend asking her to pick her up at the bus station in downtown Chicago and what follows is a night out on the town with two kids, underage grand theft auto and a gang fight. 

THE GOONIES

The Goonies embodies a perfect 80s film – especially for those who grew up in that decade. The plot centers around a group of best friends who find themselves on a treasure hunt around their town of Astoria after they find a map in the attic. Before their town gets taken over by a wealthy tycoon to turn their homes into a golf course the group, consisting of Mikey, Mouth, Chunk, Data, Brand, Stef and Andy, decide to take one last adventure together and go hunting for treasure. The film had everything kids love – adventure, comedy, a little something to keep you on edge and quotable lines like Chunk’s “Truffle Shuffle.”

          E.T.

No other character from the 80s may be more iconic than the alien in E.T. who was left behind by his ship on a strange planet while collecting vegetation samples.  ET makes his way from the woods to a suburban neighborhood when he is soon discovered by a boy name Elliot who decides to keep him for his own.  Elliot does his best to hide his secret but it isn’t long before his siblings find out.  The friendship between Elliot and ET makes this film into a an incredibly touching tale about friendship, especially once Elliot realizes that ET needs to get home and helps him do so by putting forth a plan in motion.
