The ’80s are the one decade that never seems to go out of style.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of John Hughes’ classic teen dramedy “The Breakfast Club,” released Feb. 15, 1985, Las Vegas video editor Robert Jones has cut together some of the period’s most iconic films and shared the fruits of his labor on YouTube.
Set to Simple Minds’ “Don’t You (Forget About Me),” the mashup features an array of A-list actors in breakout ’80s roles, including Tom Cruise in “Risky Business,” Michael J. Fox in “Teen Wolf” and “Back to the Future,” Val Kilmer in “Real Genius,” Kiefer Sutherland in “The Lost Boys,” and Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey in “Dirty Dancing.”
Other films cut into the mix include Richard Donner‘s “The Goonies,” John G. Avildsen’s “The Karate Kid,” Rob Reiner’s “Stand By Me” and a string of Hughes’ films, including “Sixteen Candles,” “Weird Science” and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”
