For us Gen-X’ers, we love the Brat Pack and we never thought they were brats!! They were always rad, cool, fun, fashionable, hotties, beautiful, smart, sweet, shy, bold… We grew-up together. They were US! They are US! <Cue Simple Minds, “(Don’t You) Forget About Me”. >☮️💟

Just turned 61, lived through the 80s and loved every minute of it, the "Brat Pack" were part of our cinema and pop culture.

How was Anthony Michael Hall completely glossed over in the doc? Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles?

Can't wait to see this. So loved all the John Hughes movies and the music

Great interview! Andrew is just the nicest guy and yes, great times!

I'm looking forward to seeing this documentary. It's crazy that all these actors are in their late 50's/early 60's. Back in "Breakfast Club" they were worried they'd turn in to their parents. Now they're worried they're going to turn into their grandparents. I guess a lot can happen in 40 years!

He's kept the hair, the figure and sense of humor -what more can you ask of your childhood idols?

As a Gen X'er, he was my first celebrity crush! I am so excited to see this documentary!

[amydoran]

I’m definitely going to watch this is documentary. That was an amazing time for movies.

He looks remarkably the same as he did in the 80s!

I was born in 97 but I absolutely love the Brat Pack and anything to do with that time. The first of the brat pack movies that I had ever watched was The Breakfast Club when I was in high school. I wish I could have been alive during the 80's to experience the pop culture and what the world was like back then. I'm so excited to watch this documentary!

They were all good and interesting actors. BTW Class with Andrew and Rob Lowe was very underrated.

St. Elmo's Fire is still one of my favorite 80's movies.

Just saw the documentary. Outstanding. Highly recommend. Very thought provoking. I appreciate Andrew opening up about how he felt about the brat pack label. These two words thrown out there by someone who never even met him had tremendous impact on his life. His interview with the journalist was riveting. And rather disturbing the man would not admit what havoc his words played on this group of people's lives. What Demi Moore said in the end was right - that guy's comments were more about him than they were about this group of actors.

Awe!!! Andrew was always one of my biggest movie crushes! Totally watching!
