They really did.

Of the movies he directed I've seen;
- Weird Science (1985)
- The Breakfast Club (1985)
- Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

Can't say I'm that impressed. Easily disposable fluff. Some cinephiles like to drag Marvel and the likes but the MCU is way better than these silly teen flicks that simply don't hold up now that's its been nearly 40 years since their release. Shithead teens being goofy. Hardly the best that cinema has to offer.

I'd take silly teen flicks from the 80s over what the MCU has to offer any day. Watching shithead teens is entertaining, but I understand if you're looking for something more realistic

I don't think they aged badly for the most part, aside from a few things of course that I don't necessarily disapprove of because they're now considered socially unacceptable, but because I personally find them distasteful
