As a diehard cult movie fanatic, I often find myself pondering how the casting manager does it. The chemistry between John and Claire in The Breakfast Club was everything I could have hoped for when a princess and criminal mingle. The 80's and 90's pumped out some major films, all worth the late night double features and fumbling with a vhs. No one could ever replace the envy sparking Alicia Silverstone as Cher in Clueless or the grunge and angst filled duo of Winona Ryder and Christian Slater in Heathers. We neither confirm nor deny a desire for remakes but if we were to recast a modern set to the movies we swear by this is how we would do it.
