Brian has been rifling through his old VHS collection to find the perfect films to show off the once-dominant format, now relegated to charity shop bargain buckets. After sharing his love of this now curious format, Brian will play each tape IN FULL – with trailers of long forgotten films, FBI piracy warnings, the lot. If it’s on tape, it’s going on screen.

FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF

In this 1986 classic, Ferris (Matthew Broderick) serves as a role model for adolescents everywhere, and his wisdom continues to inspire multitudes of high school students hoping to turn their ordinary day into something extraordinary. Save Ferris!

Dir: John Hughes | 1986 | USA | 1 hr 39 mins

PRETTY IN PINK

Molly Ringwald plays Andie, the girl from the wrong side of the tracks who falls for rich kid Blane (Andrew McCarthy). Written by John Hughes and wrapped up in a fabulous ‘80s package: the music! Iona's wardrobe! Iona's hair! James Spader! The prom dress! Ok, well, maybe not the prom dress.

Dir: Howard Deutch | 1986 | USA | 1 hr 33 mins
