As you know, every Sunday I watch an 80's movie. This Sunday I watched the classic, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The film was made in 1986 and was directed and written by John Hughes. This movie is considered to be a comedy/drama. The stars of this movie are Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, and Mia Sara.
The film is about a boy who knows all the tricks to skipping out on a high school day. He is determined to have a day off with his girlfriend and his best friend, despite what the principal thinks of that. Ferris Bueller (Broderick) is a kid who would do anything to get out of school. His best friend, Cameron (Ruck), and his girlfriend, Sloane (Sara), are out to join him. Ferris persuades Cameron into borrowing his fathers Ferrari, and then hatch a plan to get Sloane out of class. The plan is that Ferris will pretend to be Sloane's dad on the phone and then dresses to go pick her up. Ed Rooney, the principal, knows all about Ferris and his devilish ways, but can never catch him. Ferris' sister is frustrated that Ferris can get away with everything and she doesn't. Ferris is an angel according to his parents. His sister is determined to get Ferris caught once. Does Ferris get caught? I don't know, you will have to watch the movie and find out.
My favorite part of this movie is at the beginning when the teacher, Ben Stein, is taking role and he gets to Ferris and repeats his last name over and over. It is so funny because of his facial expression. I recommend this movie to anyone who loves a great 80's flick.

Beetlejuice
This weekend I watched Beetlejuice, directed by Tim Burton. The film was made in 1988, and stars Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, and Michael Keaton. I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a good chuckle now and again.
The film is about a couple of recently deceased ghosts contracting the services of a "bio-exorsist" in order to scare out the new owners of their house. Adam Maitland (Baldwin) and Barbra Maitland (Davis) are the recemtly deceased ghosts. Even though they are dead, they taken their time to decorate their precious home. Unfortunately they come to realize that new people are moving in. Adam and Barbra try scaring the new family, the Deetz's, away, but soon they become the main focus of the daughter, Lydia. The Maitlands call upon Beetlejuice (Keaton) to help them. Little did they know that Beetlejuice had more in mind than just helping them.
My favorite part of this movie is the dinner scene. The Deetz's have guests over and are planning on a big fancy meal. Beetlejuice comes into the scene and starts making all the guests dance and do the most absurd things. This secne always brings me a great laugh.

The Breakfast Club
This week I watched The Breakfast Club. The film was made in 1985 and directed by John Hughes. It stars Judd Nelson, Emilio Estevez, and Molly Ringwald. The movie was fantastic and I really enjoyed watching this film. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys an old movie at times.
The Breakfast Club is about five high school students meeting in detention on a Saturday. All five of the students have different stereotypes. The jock, the princess, the criminal, the nerd, and the basket case. These five students poured their hearts out to one another and discovered that they have a lot more in common than they thought. They find out that everyone, no matter who you hang out with, has problems that they keep bottled up inside because they mask their true identity. Judd Nelson plays the criminal and you learn that his life at home isn't what you would think it would be like. He asks the jock, who is played by Emilio Estevez, if the burn from a cigar is the same punishment that he gets at home. Everyone has struggles and maybe some aren't as bad as another but everyone is hurting and needs to be heard.
My favorite part of this movie is at the end where they are all going home and Judd Nelson is walking across the football field and pumps his fist. It gives me a feeling of happiness I suppose. It shows me that five strangers can be stuck in a room for a day and it could change their life forever.
