Little Atoms with Hadley Freeman

Join Neil Denny and Guardian columnist Hadley Freeman to talk John Hughes, Dirty Dancing, and why Ghostbusters is the best film ever

By Little Atoms - 16/06/2017

Guardian writer Hadley Freeman brings us her personalised guide to American movies from the 1980s – why they are brilliant, what they meant to her, and how they influenced movie-making forever. Growing up in New York in the 1980’s Hadley learned everything she knows from films like Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club, Top Gun, The Princess Bride, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Beverley Hills Cop and When Harry Met Sally…

We’ll be talking about how the changes between movies then and movies today say so much about pop culture’s and society’s changing expectations of women, young people, masculinity, class and art, and explains why Pretty in Pink and Ghostbusters should be put on school syllabuses immediately.

Saturday, 24 September 2016 - 1:30pm, Kings Place, 90 York Way, London N1 9AG
