WHY did those actors decide to do those movies together?

The Brat Pack is a nickname given to a group of young actors who frequently appeared together in teen-oriented coming-of-age films in the 1980s. The term "Brat Pack", a play on the Rat Pack from the 1950s and 1960s, was first popularized in a 1985 New York magazine cover story, which described a group of highly successful film stars in their early twenties.[1] David Blum wrote the article after witnessing several young actors being mobbed by groupies at Los Angeles' Hard Rock Cafe.[2] The group has been characterized by the partying of members such as Demi Moore, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, and Judd Nelson.[3]











Anyone with common sense would have labeled those actors as a group because they kept appearing together in movies centered around the same theme: Coming of Age 1980's movies marketed to teens.


I do think that it was an exciting time in Hollywood for a group of actors that young to be so successful. We haven't seen anything like the Brat Pack since.

I miss that. I've been looking for the next generation of Brat Pack. But there isn't. The other serious popular actors from late 70s to 90s are all in their 70s now.

It's time to replace them.
