In the new Brats documentary by Brat Pack member Andrew McCarthy, the group’s connection to the transition cinema made in the 1980s is explored in detail. The Brat Pack movies of the mid-1980s are as fun to watch as they are definitive of a transition happening in American film culture. Memorable coming-of-age flicks like The Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, St. Elmo’s Fire, and Pretty in Pink gave young people a reflection of their own life on the big screen that was previously unavailable in Hollywood cinema.
