Caddyshack

A Harold Ramis Comedy about a young caddy at an exclusive Golf Club who deals with a wide range of characters ranging from a Snobish Judge, a laid back Chevy Chase and a loud mouthed Rodney Dangerfield. Billy Murray is the Groundskeeper who has to deal with a (obviously fake looking Gopher). This is a funny movie.

The Breakfast Club

Classic John Hughes. With Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy and Antony Michael Hall where five high school students meet in Saturday detention and discover how they have a lot more in common than they thought. A well acted movie which portrays Teenagers as normal people instead of sex crazed or murder victims (American Film Critics Siskel and Ebert said that John Hughes gets them)

I wonder if this was released in a different era, whether Oscar Nominations may have happened.

The New Kids

A brother and sister arrive in a small town after their parents die in order to help their relatives run an amusement park however they are terrorized by a local street gang led by a sinister James Spader after the girl spurns their advances. Wasn't completely sure about this one originally however this is a thrilling film with great performances from Spader and his gang (as in, you couldn't wait for them to get their comeuppance) also I liked the fact that it wasn't completely one way traffic in the bad guys favor until the end, the brother got his shots in during as well.

15 Minutes

Robert De Niro, Edward Burns and Kelsey Grammer star in this Thriller in which a homicide detective and a fire marshal must stop a pair of murderers who commit videotaped crimes to become media darlings. Not a bad movie but it's one of De Niro's lower radar films.
