The Hollywood Brat Pack, the group of 1980s actors who dominated the box office and primo tables at L.A.’s then cool Hard Rock Cafe, is most closely associated with the comedies of John Hughes (though Joel Schumacher’s St. Elmo’s Fire also brimmed with “Brats”). The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles—these films made teen idols of Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Andrew McCarthy, Judd Nelson, and Anthony Michael Hall. The nickname was coined in 1985, in a New York magazine article written by a reporter both attracted and repulsed by his night out with the hard-partying Estevez and Rob Lowe. Brat is a documentary produced and directed by McCarthy, who catches up on what happened to members of the pack, many of whom he hadn’t talked to in decades. Looking back on his younger self, McCarthey says, “I’d lost control of the narrative of my career.” —Jensen Davis
