book		The Breakfast Club : John Hughes, Hollywood, and the golden age of the teen film / Elissa H. Nelson Oxon: Routledge, 2019. Call No: 78 BRE NEL Author: Nelson, Elissa H. Edition: 2019 Place: Oxon Publisher: Routledge PubDate: 2019 PhysDes: 128 pages : illustrated ; 23cm Subject: BREAKFAST CLUB, THE (US, John Hughes, 1985) Summary: The Breakfast Club is a quintessential teen film. This book analyzes how multiple factors coalesced to solidify the status of The Breakfast Club as one of the most emblematic films of the 1980s and one of the most definitive teen films of the genre. The film brings together genre-defining elements – the conflicts between generations and peer pressure, archetypical characters and breaking down stereotypes, the celebration and survival of adolescence, and the importance of this time in life on the coming-of-age process – and became a significant moment for John Hughes as an auteur and for teen films in the 1980s. More than just embodying these elements of the genre, filmmaker Hughes and the Brat Pack stars helped introduce and popularize multiple generic features that would come to be expected with the teen film formula. The content of the film combined with its context of production in the middle of a boom in teen filmmaking in Hollywood. Meanwhile, the marketing that focused on contemporary music, peer group dynamics, and oppositions between Generation X and baby boomers, merged with an enthusiastic reception by youth audiences. Its endurance speaks to the way the film’s level of importance as a critical, commercial, and influential film with tremendous impact has grown since its initial debut. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9781138681927 Contents: Introduction: The Breakfast Club and the Golden Age of the Teen Film -- Chapter 1: The Right Place at the Right Time: How the Market Was Primed for the Production of The Breakfast Club -- Chapter 2: Rules of the Genre: Creating Iconic Characters while Breaking Down Stereotypes -- Chapter 3: Teen Problems in the 1980s, and Generation X and Baby Boomers Just Don’t Get Along -- Chapter 4: The Synergistic Effects of the Marketing and the Music -- Chapter 5: The Lasting Legacy: Historical Reception, Contemporary Impact, and Hughes as Auteur More info

Call No: 81 HUG HON Author: Honeycutt, Kirk Source: Peter Kemp Place: New York Publisher: Race Point Publishing PubDate: [2015] PhysDes: vii, 215 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour) ; 29 cm Subject: HUGHES, JOHN (US); FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF (US, John Hughes, 1986); PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES (US, John Hughes, 1987); BREAKFAST CLUB, THE (US, John Hughes, 1985); PRETTY IN PINK (US, Howard Deutch, 1986); SIXTEEN CANDLES (US, John Hughes, 1984); WEIRD SCIENCE (US, John Hughes, 1985); HOME ALONE (US, Chris Columbus, 1990) Summary: Hughes allegedly wrote Ferris Bueller's Day Off in four days, Planes, Trains and Automobiles in three days, The Breakfast Club in two days, and Vacation in a week. He never went to film school or studied cinema. And he spent most of his incredible career in the Midwest, far from the Hollywood Hills. John Hughes was indeed one of the most prolific and successful filmmakers in Hollywood history. He helped launch the careers of Andrew McCarthy, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Macaulay Culkin, and Judd Nelson. He made John Candy a household name. In this first illustrated tribute to the legendary filmmaker, author Kirk Honeycutt offers a behind-the-scenes look at the genius that was John Hughes--from his humble beginnings in direct mail to his blockbuster success with classics like Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Weird Science, and Home Alone. Honeycutt also explores the darker side of John Hughes: his extreme sensitivity, his stormy professional relationships, and the devastation Hughes experienced after the death of his closest friend, John Candy. This book features fresh interviews with Matthew Broderick, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Steve Martin, and Jon Cryer, and a foreword from Home Alone director Chris Columbus. "I stumbled into this business, I didn't train for it. I yelled "Action!" on my first two movies before the camera was turned on." - John HughesJohn Hughes wrote 46 movies, produced 23, and directed 8. He never went to film school, never spent time studying film and its history, but was unusually adept in three key areas °´4 writing, directing and producing.Classics like Mr. Mom; Sixteen Candles; The Breakfast Club; European Vacation; Weird Science; Pretty in Pink; Ferris Bueller's Day Off; Planes, Trains, and Automobiles; Uncle Buck; Christmas Vacation; Home Alone; and Beethoven will forever live on in the history of film. Launching the careers of Andrew McCarthy, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, and James Spader, and working with greats like John Candy and Chevy Chase, John Hughes's influence can still be felt today.John Hughes: A Life in Film, by Kirk Honeycutt, former chief film critic at The Hollywood Reporter, is the first complete illustrated tribute to the legendary writer and director, and includes fresh interviews with Judd Nelson, Matthew Broderick, Christopher Columbus, Steve Martin, and more Notes: Includes John Hughes filmography (page 201).

It is one of the world's oldest and most storied film festivals, continuously running since 1952. To commemorate MIFF’s 70th anniversary, Black Inc. has partnered with the festival to produce an exciting collection of essays on Melbourne-made cinema. Melbourne has a long, rich and diverse film history. It was the city where the first ever feature-length film was screened in 1906 – The Story of the Kelly Gang. It was also the birthplace of classics like Monkey Grip, Ghosts … of the Civil Dead, The Castle and Mad Max, plus many fascinating shorts and experimental films. Melbourne on Film is both a celebration of filmmaking in Melbourne, and a tribute to the city’s unique creative history. The first collection of its kind, it includes personal reflections on the legacy and influence of these key films by some of the city’s favourite writers, including Christos Tsiolkas, Sarah Krasnostein, John Safran, Osman Faruqi, Tristen Harwood and Judith Lucy. Melbourne on Film will be treasured by cinephiles and readers of intelligent essays on arts and culture. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9781760643928 More info
