It’s hard to tell if the Brat Packers’ appeal will still hold for today’s teens. The films are severely dated, melodramatic and at times cringe-worthy. (I’ve never understood peoples’ love for the collection of stereotypes that show up for detention in The Breakfast Club.)
Still, for many who watched the films endlessly to ease their own angst-ridden years, the films hold a special place.
