1 earns a lot of points for having a much stronger arc for the main characters. I realize these are 80s action movies and not exactly Bergman, but I do think the story helps.

But did it help end apartheid? I think not.

Ah, true, I hadn't considered that.

Not The Omen as a whole mind you, just that scene. And "Look at me, Damien. It's all for you."

I’ll hold on to this declaration.

You can shove it in my face when I end up directing TikTok influencers' videos shortly before I kill myself.

You can take solace in the fact that whatever tournament I'm running at the time, this movie will probably win. I refuse to let your death stand for nothing.

Lethal Weapon wins. Next battle up shortly.

Yup. It's unlikely I'll vote against Breakfast Club within Hughes' bracket. Unless Weird Science is in here. Then maybe.

The Breakfast Club is about 80% less racist and 50% less rapey.

My not so hot take is that Ferris Bueller's Day Off is plainly the best Hughes teen movie and it's not even close.
