Growing up in the eighties was the best time to be a teenager. There were many movies that came out of that time period that are considered classics today. There are too many to list them all, but one of my all time favorites was Ferris Bueller. What a great movie. At the time I first saw that movie I was a teenager in high school. I loved that Ferris played by Matthew Broderick talked straight into the camera....to me. What teenager wouldn’t like to skip school and go joy riding in a sports car. I lived vicariously through Ferris for the length of that movie.
Matthew Broderick’s movies were must see flicks for many teenagers during that time period. Another movie he did was WarGames, which was about hacker that unknowingly get to play a game with the US Military's war computer. War Games was a movie so very ahead of it’s time. Computers were not in almost every home like they are today and although hacker is a common word now, not so much so in the eighties. On Thursday, July 24th in select theaters nationwide there will be a 25th Anniversary showing of the original movie and will also include never before seen interviews with the people involved in making this great movie. If you are lucky enough to go you will see a sneak peak of the sequel WarGames: The Dead Code.
