Presenting "the 1980's", the golden era of teen flicks. This is another outstanding classic.

What makes the whole idea absolutely hilarious is that this isn't at all something teenagers would do when taking a breather from school. Fine dining, art exhibits and parades, really? Or how would I know, perhaps the jazz was different back in the 80's.

The humour here is very subtle but effective all the same. It's hidden in the facial expressions, gestures and tone of voice. I particularly enjoyed the famous 'staring at a canvas' scene which I found both highly entertaining and profound at the same time.

Modern-day film and television industry could take a lot from this one. It shouldn't be all about the bawdy comebacks and toilet jokes. Humour is most effective when it's undetected.

But on a more serious note, there are actually important themes that are discussed here whether it's defying your parents, discovering your abilities or keeping your friends close but enemies even closer.

With both its lighter and more serious facets I know a comedy when I see one. And this is pure comedy gold.
