St. Elmo`s fire .
St. Elmo`s fire to me is one of my favorite movies of all time . a 1985 film discussing a lives of a group of friends with different characters adjusting to their post university lives . also with the starring Emillio Estevez , Rob Lowe , Demi Moore , Andrew McCarthy , Jude Nelson , Ally Sheedy and Mare Winningham , it couldn` be more perfect .
the breakfast club .
1985 was a great year for coming of age films fans as it produced another tremendous film , the breakfast club . like St. Elmo`s fire discussing group of youths but this time a school students that get to know each other for the first time in school detention . a film discussing teenagers and obstacles they face in the simplest and most amusing way .
A win win situation .
coming of age films didn`t let any side down . for producers , actors , etc. most of these films were blockbusters and on the other and most important side for viewers it couldn`t be more honest as it mostly discusses an important sector and psychological changes that happen to people through their growing up tough journey .
