[edit] Ferris Bueller's Day Off?
How about Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Seems a Brat Pack movie to me...
[edit] Kiefer?
I was under the impression that Kiefer Sutherland was part of the Brat Pack. Bbatsell 00:16, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
How about Christian Slater?
[edit] Diane Lane
On Diane Lane article she's referred as "leading member of the brat pack group of actors". Maybe would be better if she is moved to actual members.
[edit] Melissa Gilbert
I reinserted Melissa Gilbert in the "auxilary members" as she dated Rob Lowe and was often accompanied by other brat packers to social events.
--58.170.67.183 08:25, 17 April 2006 (UTC) I disagree and don't think Melissa Gilbert should be listed here as a bratpacker by association. She is clearly not a bratpacker herself.

- No, She wasn't a Brat Packer, that is why I placed her in the "auxiliary members" section. While she definitely wasn't a member of the core brat pack, she dated Lowe, hung out with the others and often appeared alongside them in tabloid papers. ExRat 21:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Lost Boys?
How is The Lost Boys a Brat Pack movie? The cast contains no members of the Brat Pack, and the only auxiliary member is Keifer Sutherland (whose only film connection to the Brat Pack is The Lost Boys). Joel Schumacher directed it, but, aside from The Lost Boys, his only Brat Pack credit is St Elmo's Fire.
And more importantly, The Lost Boys is a two Coreys movie.
[edit] John Cusack?
John Cusack has a minor role in 16 Candles, but that's about it. I've never seen him referred to as a member of the Brat Pack? john k 00:57, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Definition
It seems to me that the basic definition of a Brat Pack movie would be The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo's Fire, and any other movie which features at least two members of the main cast of one of those movies. The core Brat Pack would consist of the main actors from those two movies, with the probably exception of Mare Winningham. Perhaps a few movies featuring only one core Brat Packer (e.g. Weird Science) could count. This would fit the movies listed on the external link given, I will add. john k 01:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- They should only count if there is an outside source (article, essay, book) that discusses the films. The list as is is very crufty and it would be best served if the "requirements" come from a real source instead of Original Research. Radagast83 16:37, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Andie MacDowell?
Why not?
[edit] Auxiliary members
I just removed Alyson Hannigan and Sean William Scott from this, because I have seen no evidence they have anything to do with the brat pack. Really, most of the names in that "auxiliary" list need either their inclusion justified, or else they need to be deleted. Someone's been pulling your leg. --124.189.8.183 17:59, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
