Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Brat Pack ruled the big-screen in the 1980s, as charted in the documentary BRATS — but their actual films ranged from forgettable misfires to cultural touchstones. The Brat Pack was an informal name for a group of young movie stars who, between 1983 and 1990, frequently collaborated with one another on projects.
The movie was maligned by critics and was formally considered a box office bomb after it failed to recoup its $10 million budget. Critics at the time were particularly harsh on Nelson's performance, describing his work in the film as dull and and one-note. The critics aren't wrong, as Blue City — based on the Ross Macdonald novel of the same name — fails to retain the grit and edge found in the book.
10 Oxford Blues Close Oxford Blues stars Rob Lowe as Nick Di Angelo, a Las Vegas hustler who follows the woman of his dreams — Amanda Pays' Lady Victoria Wingate — to Oxford. A bizarre sports comedy that ends up largely focusing on the Oxford rowing team that Nick joins to impress Victoria, the film also stars Ally Sheedy as the rowing team's coxswain Rona.
8 Wisdom Close Wisdom is an interesting example of what the Brat Pack was capable of without any guardrails surrounding them, resulting in a weird but strangely compelling film. Starring and directed by Emilio Estevez alongside fellow Brat Pack alum Demi Moore, Wisdom focuses on John Wisdom.
Related Why The Breakfast Club Is Rated R John Hughes' The Breakfast Club might not seem like a movie that should have an R-rating, but there are strong reasons to grant it such rating. Written and directed by Alda, the film ultimately benefits from this looser style. It has room for surprising scene stealers, like Madeline Kahn as Eddie's wife Lola, Joe Pesci as Alan's sleezy brother-in-law Oscar, and Anthony LaPagila as the earnest mafia recruit Stevie. The broad comedy works better here than it does in other Brat Pack films, benefiting greatly from Alda's experience with projects like MASH.
