• Beverly Hills Cop by Child of the 1980s on Oct 28, 2009

  Whilst channel hopping the other night I came across Beverly Hills Cop being shown for the umpteenth time, but I was soon hooked and wondering why I had not covered this major film of the eighties before now. I’m sure the film needs no introduc...

• Top Gun by Child of the 1980s on Oct 7, 2009

  It may not have been his first movie, but if it wasn’t for Top Gun then I don’t think Tom Cruise would be as big a star as he is today. This film made Cruise a household name in 1986 and for the rest of the Eighties he was one of Hollywo...

• Ferris Bueller’s Day Off by Child of the 1980s on Aug 14, 2009

• Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation by Child of the 1980s on May 11, 2009

  For most people Raiders of the Lost Ark is still the best of the Indiana Jones films, and I think it’s safe to say that this is the case for Chris Strompolos and Eric Zala, who devoted most of their summer holidays as teenagers in the 1980̵...

• The Breakfast Club by Child of the 1980s on Apr 15, 2009

  I noticed John Hughes’ The Breakfast Club on Sky Movies the other day so thought I would watch it again to refresh my memory.  I had forgotten just how good this film is, but one new thing I noticed this time round is that this film must be on...
