"The Brat Pack" will always be in my heart ❤❤❤
Judd Nelson ….my crush forever ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I grew up in the 90s. I'm a 90s kid at heart! I loved the 90s! Growing up in the 90s was definitely a special time for me!
But man…..growing up in the 80s? That seemed like the best time to be a teenager! ❤❤
I WAS ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT ANDREW DONT YOU WORRY YOU STILL ARE GEORGEOUS BRILLIANT AND BRAVE TO DO THIS DOCUMENTARY I ENJOYED IT I WANT TO SEE MORE OF YOU! DONT YOU LOOK AT THE BRAT PACK AS TABOO LOOK AT IT AS A GENERATION OF A NEWBIRTH! WE COULD NEVER EVER FORGET ABOUT YOU! NEVER GIVE UP AND NEVER QUIT
Really enjoyed this doc. There’s meat on the bone for part 2. Also – there could be a movie about brat pack in a Breakfast Club setting – talking about post Brat Pack article and how it impacted them…..
One thing that the documentary didn't cover was not everyone could be in the exclusive group. I can see those people accepting the brat term.
The crazy thing is that most of the people in the documentary, weren't even heavily featured in the article
Andrew McCarthy has one line about him being a New York-based actor who "plays all his roles with too much of the same intensity", and that's it. None of the female actors appear at all, with Demi Moore being the only name-check
The whole article is about Estevez, Judd and Lowe, with a curious amount of time spent on Tom Cruise (who seemingly never interacted with the writer at all)
Also, the article hilariously described Nicholas Cage as the "ethnic one" in the pack
#bratpack 🎥😁👏
Dear younger generations,
you will never understand the vibe of the '80s back then. Another planet. Another universe.
Sincerely yours,
an old-fart cyberpunk.
80s movies have a special place in my heart.
I'm a kid from the 80's and I totally LOVED all the movies they were in. They were identifiable… and gorgeous!
I just finished watching this documentary, and feel sad that they felt so infringed upon, as far as their careers went.
I hope they can understand that a whole generation of young adults "found themselves" in the characters that the The Pack portrayed.
I love the movies as much in my 50's, as I did in my 20's.🎉🎉❤
Andrew McCarthy really wanted an apology from the author who coined the term "Brat Pack."
Though ONLY "white" kids relate to these films. I know many Asian, Black or Latino Americans, who never really watched or liked these films and some don't know who these actors are.
I miss it all, so much!
I am 61 and was born in 1963.
I feel as if this documentary is the missing puzzle piece to those years.
I always thought Mare Winningham was in The Brat Pack though.
Her name was not even mentioned in the documentary.
I was 28 when The Breakfast Club came out. I was amazed how well the different personalities of high school kids were so accurately portrayed!
It was a blast from the past. Good documentary until the phone call at the end😠
Some of them broke free of brat name, like rob Lowe
That article made u all famous don’t hate
I’m watching it now. Rob Lowe and Demi Moore embraced it. Almost everyone else shunned it. And their careers show that. And fitting Emilio is in different and he’s still in the biz but less in front of the camera
Matt dillon? He was very much part of 80s culture!
80s !!!! My high school and college years! Best decade ever
It’s sad for me to see that Andrew McCarthy still hasn’t moved on from his anger over the article and the term. Rob Lowe gave the best interview of all the people in the documentary. Rob moved on. Andrew didn’t. I personally was disappointed that Molly Ringwald didn’t give an interview. She is actually about a half decade younger than the other “brats”
Cheers
Assuming no one listened to this music before these films is moronic.
I loved these years of my life. I am so sad for them that it was negative and that the article ruined this all for them. They were/are amazing and I still love all of their movies!
Not trying to change anyone. Awesome! 😝
Great film. Loved it. Highly recommend it.
Song?
I didn't realize they all hated that label. I thought it was a cute play on the Rat Pack (Sammy Davis Jr and all of them). This will be interesting to watch, grew up watching them like older siblings or something
I'm tearing up so hard watching this 😭
Oh I will be watching!!
Watching this as an outsider back in the 80s. I never had a group of friends except maybe in my twenties for a short time. I still love these movies but I realize now did any of us actually have a group of friends like depicted in movies? Probably very few of us.
