Okay, so i was browsing through my lappie out of complete boredom this morning when i came across some of my favourite movies that i havent seen ever since i came home for the holidays.. lemme tell you, these movies are BEYOND awesome!! they are magnificent! but some of them i dont have anymore so....oh well, i'll just recommend to you as well.. all these movies are cool, that is if you fulfill these criteria:
- you LOVE the old school - anything about it like the music, the fashion, the style, the way kids behave during that era
- you love MUSIC, particularly the ROCK music
- you dont mind high school flicks.... okay maybe not all are based on the life of high schoolers....but still.
okay so i present you my Top 10 favourite movies:
10. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
see how a typical high school guy plans his 'day off' with his friends. its hilarious!
9. Rock n Roll High School
it featured The Ramones, need i say more? and just look at the soundtracks of the movie!
8. Top Gun
i dont care what you guys think but i love the guy! and every guy in a uniform THAT hot with aviators on will just get the nod from me dah-ling. XD
*but seriously, i love military or naval films
7. Cry-baby
well, who wouldve say no to johnny depp?? although this was produced in 1990, but it portrayed the setting in 1950s.
6. Grease
who could forget Danny's sleek dance moves? ITS ELECTRIFYING!! if you havent watched this movie in your life yet, well, YOU BETTER!! it'll not let you down i swear. yes, although it has a sequel to it, the first one is always better.
5. Pretty in Pink
this has been considered as one of the best 80s teen movies of all time. another one of molly ringwald's great performances as a high school outcast who fell in love with the rich kid, blablabla.. you get the idea. but its cool, i love the fashion, the dialogues (they are witty, especially from ducky her guy best friend!)
4. St Elmo's Fire
this is also one of the most renowned movies in the 80s. it has every element ever in the movie - love triangle, conflict between friends, troubled life, denial, betrayal.......... its just a perfect movie to see with a whole bunch of friends... girls that is.
3. The Graduate
no one would ever forget the image of this rescue scene. it has also been recaptured in so many spoof films. dustin hoffman at his best here, playing the confused recently graduated from college Benjamin Braddock, who is having an affair with the wife of his father's business partner, and after a while falls for the daughter too. but how will he prove to her that the love is true and get away from the grip of the cunning Mrs Robinson. also, for you 60s fan, ALL of the soundtracks are from Simon & Garfunkel. how cool is that?
2. The Breakfast Club
every kid who have watched this movie will no doubt agree with me that this is THE ULTIMATE 80s teen movie. five kids are stuck together in a room on a Saturday for their detention, five different kids with different backgrounds, different attitudes and different reasons on why they are there. see how they finally learn to know that each of them is not what it seems from the outside. very awesome movie.
and finally.......................... *drumroll*
1. Breakfast at Tiffany's
one of the best 60s movies, and with Hepburn already an icon, her fashion in this movie is what made little black dress, string of pearls, and big shades famous in the fashion industry. this movie is no doubt the best classic movies of all time.
