Classic 80s Comedies You Have To See
The 1980s were the heydey of high-concept, classic comedies, with the teen genre especially hot throughout the decade. In this super-sized edition of WTF Happened to this Movie, we dig into three additions to the genre
Better Off Dead: This classic teen comedy gave John Cusack his first leading role as a heartbroken teen trying to win back his ex. If it sounds run-of-the-mill, you don't know the strange style the director, Savage Steve Holland, brings to it.
Losin' It: An early film for Tom Cruise and director Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential), this teen sex comedy has a lot of unexpected heart, making it somewhat unfairly obscure.
UHF: Weird Al Yankovic's classic satire of Cable TV and movies was a flop theatrically, but time has been kind this this hysterical slice of nostalgia.
