The Breakfast Club
From writer/director John Hughes, The Breakfast Club is an iconic portrait of 1980s American high school life. When Saturday detention started, they were simply the Jock, the Princess, the Brain, the Criminal and the Basket Case, but by that afternoon they had become closer than any of them could have imagine. Featuring an all-star 80s cast including Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, and Ally Sheedy, this warm-hearted coming-of-age comedy helped definite an entire generation!

Pump Up the Volume
Has an actor had a better on-screen run at conveying adolescent alienation than Christian Slater? In a three year span he birthed the biting satire Heathers, the skate dog classic Gleaming the Cube, and the rebellious howl of Pump Up The Volume. That’s one heck of a resume to rack up before your 21st birthday. And in Volume he’s perfectly cast as a rebel with a cause, a shy high schooler by day but a cynical, perceptive & totally uncensored pirate radio icon at night, unafraid to tell the hard truth, filling the airwaves with fiercely funny monologues on sex, love and rock ‘n roll. He’s witty and raw but will his powerful voice inspire unity or tear the community apart? Helming his first feature since the 1980 teen queen punk epic Times Square, writer/director Allan Moyle again shows his skill with disaffected, music-obsessed youth, carefully shaping urgent true-to-life emotion both timely & timeless. Powered by a seminal alt-rock soundtrack, Pump Up The Volume demands to be played loud.
