I am in love with those classic 80s films; The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pretty In Pink etc. (Basically anything with the brat pack)

Being this junkie, over my time on this earth, I have come across many more 80s movies that do not get nearly enough credit. So every so often I am going to post about a film that was incredible and that I would definitely recommend.

I’m starting with Less Than Zero (Marek Kanievska, 1987)

It stars Andrew Mccarthy and the incredible Robert Downey Jr. in this film based on the book written by Bret Easton Ellis (who also wrote American Psycho) I definitely recommend reading the book if you’re into that kind of thing.

Anyway this film (and the book) have to be high up in my all time favourites. It is a film that is quite contrasting from other 80s films, as this one explore themes of drug addiction, betrayal, depression and various other dark ideas.

The filmography is great, the plot is good (a tad slow at the start but that quickly passes). The acting is quality and the soundtrack is killer, so check it out!
