by Susannah Gora (Author)

A deep dive into the Brat Pack, John Hughes, and the timeless movies they made together--"a must-have for fans of '80s teen flicks" (Associated Press)

"As readable as it is informative, Susannah Gora's book sets these influential films into a cultural and cinematic context--and provides compelling behind-the-scenes stories about the people who made them."--Leonard Maltin

From Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and St. Elmo's Fire to Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and Say Anything, the films of the Brat Pack have influenced an entire generation who still want to believe life always turns out like an eighties movie.

You Couldn't Ignore Me If You Tried takes us back to that golden age of youth cinema, telling for the first time the complete story behind how these films were made. Through original and revealing interviews with scores of key players like Molly Ringwald, Matthew Broderick, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall, Andrew McCarthy, Rob Lowe, John Cusack, Cameron Crowe, and Ally Sheedy, author Susannah Gora has crafted a sweeping tribute to a body of films that stirred an entire generation and a gripping account of the people who brought these films to life.
