Breakfast Club (Dir. John Hughes 1985): Without doubt John Hughes' The Breakfast Club is one of the greatest teen movies of all-time if not the best. Without it we might not have witnessed the phenomenal rise of the 'brat pack'; the group of actors synonymous with the teen films of the '80s. They were five teenage students with nothing in common faced with spending a Saturday detention together in their High School library. At 7am they had nothing to say but by 4pm they had bared their souls to each other and become good friends. To the outside world they were simply the Jock the Brain the Criminal the Princess and the Kook but to each other they would always be the Breakfast Club. The film's title comes from the nickname invented by students and staff for detention at the school attended by the son of one of John Hughes' friends. Thus those who were sent to detention were designated members of ""The Breakfast Club"". Fast Time At Ridgemont High (Dir.

Tackling a series on her own without husband Desi Arnaz Lucille Ball firmly established herself as the first lady of American television with this long-running series. With one exception the supporting cast underwent numerous changes over the years and at one time included both of Miss Ball's real-life children. The one exception was Gale Gordon who provided Lucy with a stubborn stuffy foil for most of the show's run. The real constant however was Lucy and her special brand of slapstick humour played off of all sorts of guests and regulars.

Pete Correale was named one of the top ten comics to watch by entertainment Weekly in 2008. His affable New York charm and hilarious tales of life and love of the everyman put him on the path to comedic stardom. The Things We Do For Love spotlights Correale's keen and uproarious reality-based comedy that zeroes in on the inherent humor in everything he encounters and experiences to evoke fervent and knowing laughter from the his audiences. Its title comes from how the comic finds the funniness in all the things he loves in his life: His wife family and friends as well as everything from having a few drinks to walking his dog. As he observes If it happened to me it happened to someone else hence everyone finds jokes they can relate to and laugh with whenever Correale performs.
Two mismatched college students (John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga) find themselves trapped together during a cross-country road trip, trying to make it home for the holidays. She can't stand him, and he just wants to get to LA, where a sexy "sure thing" is waiting to greet him with open arms. It's not hard to predict where this sweetly old-fashioned romantic comedy is going to end up, but along the way there are many pleasures to be had. Director Rob Reiner, in his second feature (after This Is Spinal Tap), has a nice eye for the kitschy flotsam found along the American highway, and his identification with the college kids doesn't condescend to them one bit. The movie helped make a star of John Cusack, who gives a delightfully spritzy performance--kind of a precursor to his similarly energetic, likeable turn in Say Anything. Given the usual crass tenor of Hollywood college movies, The Sure Thing is something to treasure. --Robert Horton

Jackson gets his big break when a mysterious femme fatale (Dorothy Lamour) strolls into his office and mistaking him for McCloud asks for help with her uncle's kidnapping.
