Fast times and excellent adventures : the surprising history of the '80s teen movie

King, James2018
Books
Could a 50s Western sell as many tickets as 2014's Secret Cinema run of 'Back To The Future'? And in 30 years, who really believes that pop culture will be buzzing about actors from those noughties 'found footage' films in the way it's still fascinated by former 80s teen stars to this day? Here are films about ends of terms, life-changing vacations and days off. What teenager wouldn't want to watch something so perfectly in tune with their own life?
