3º – Fearless (Peter Weir, 1993)
After miraculously surviving a terrible plane crash, a man will have the chance to rediscover his life, breaking with the traditional patterns of his existence. Nurturing a motivational aura for the unfolding of his story, ‘Fearless’ is a film with ups and downs, ultimately worthwhile even for the great performance of Jeff Bridges as a protagonist.
2º – St. Elmo’s Fire (Joel Schumacher, 1985)
A group of friends has to deal with the withdrawal from school and the arrival of responsibilities in adulthood. The film gains its dynamism by exploring this day to day life of young people, always against a backdrop of unease inherent to everyone. The idea of bringing this necessary ritual of passage to the human being through the vision of a very united group of friends is effective, succeeding, exactly by exposing several people in each individual of the group, leaving those who watch familiar with what is exposed to each scene.
1º – Can’t Buy Me Love (Steve Rash, 1987)
An unpopular teenager decides to pay for the most beautiful and influential schoolgirl to pretend to be his girlfriend. Together, the two will go through the most diverse confusions, discovering that the old social titles for which they were known may not have been correct. A romantic comedy emblematic of the 1980s, ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ can be fun, exposing buildings of scenes and history quite simple, valuing more the inherent charm of that time that, naturally, works.
