Sixteen Candles: Where Are They Now?
In the 80s, the Brat Pack was everywhere. John Hughes films were successful in theaters and the actors were stars, in the true sense of the term.

Ever wonder what they’re up to these days?
Here is a peak into what happened to the stars of Sixteen Candles after the 80s was through.

Patrick Swayze Dies at 57 – He Will Be Missed
I just heard the news about the death of Patrick Swayze today, September 14th, 2009. It's very sad news indeed.
My impressions of Mr. Swayze are of a man who was always a fighter, fighting the deadly cancer that finally claimed his life.
I have heard that he was always very gracious and friendly with he fans.
Patrick Swayze is recognized as an accomplished actor, dancer and singer. His talents will be truly missed.
We are blessed with some absolutely awesome movies, though. Two of my favorites are Red Dawn and The Outsiders.
National Lampoons Vacation 26 Years Old
National Lampoons Vacation from the Summer of 1983 - One of the best movies of the 80s.
The Griswolds have planned all year for a great summer vacation.
From their suburban Chicago home, across America, to the wonders of the Wally World fun park in Southern California, every step of the way has been carefully plotted.
Except for a few hysterical exceptions.
National Lampoons Vacation is 26 years old and still a goofy comedy classic thanks to a great cast and an exceptional group of comedy writers and great directing.
Rocky IV is a 1985 Classic worth watching
How about this? Rocky IV in it's entirety. This movie from 1985 will inspire you and it will move you to greatness. If you let.
It's an 80s movie that is unforgettable. One of 1985's Best Movies.
Stallone's new menace in the ring is a 261-pound Russian fighting machine (Dolph Lundgren), and now, Rocky must defend his title and America's honor.
There were many lighter movies in 1985, including the first in The Back to the Future Trilogy, Romancing the Stone, Splash and Footloose. Maybe that is one of the reasons this Rocky is often considered the best, and last real Rocky Movie.
