Video Tribute to '80s Teen Movies

This week marked the 30th anniversary of John Hughes' teen classic The Breakfast Club, so YouTuber Robert Jones took the opportunity to create a video tribute to the teen films of the 1980s to celebrate. The '80s really were the best decade for teen films, because it was a time when studios largely weren't as risk-averse as they are now and they felt like they could allow young actors to carry entire movies on their shoulders without always having to rely on ridiculously over-the-top premises. Also, while there were definitely a fair amount of sequels (the late 70s ushered in the era of the blockbuster, after all), not every movie was eyed as a potential franchise, and young adult novels weren't being written for the sole purpose of being source material for an eventual movie.

Take a walk down memory lane by watching this video below.
