FAQs

Who is my favorite actor/actress from this year’s list of top movies?

I don’t know, but I was probably one of the few people who saw it in theaters. I remember when my mom took me to see this movie and how she got us tickets for opening night (this was back in 1988) because we had a babysitter and couldn’t afford to go that day.

The Breakfast Club is about five high school students attending detention on Saturday morning at East High School. They are each having different experiences that help them grow as individuals, learn from their mistakes, make new friends, and ultimately face their fears by working together as a team against an outside force: Principal Vernon Wormer.

As a high school student myself, I find this movie very relatable to the issues we deal with daily like bullying and peer pressure at school.

The Breakfast Club became one of the highest-grossing independent films ever made making $38 million dollars domestically when it was released on August 3rd, 1988 which is still considered to be one of the top 10 all-time box office movies today!

What are the best movies in 1988?

I can only answer this question based on my own opinion.

For the top movies in 1988, I would say that Back to the Future, Coming to America, and Stand By Me are the best movies of that year. These were movies that featured action and adventure as well as comedy which all kids enjoyed at that time.

In addition, I would also suggest Dances with Wolves which was nominated for 8 Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director for Kevin Costner. Another movie I’d recommend is The Last Emperor which won 5 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Actor in a Leading Role (Michael Douglas), Supporting Actress (Tilda Swinton), and Director (Sidney Lumet).

Why is there so much green in the movie Big?

In the movie Big, there is a lot of green used. There are several reasons for this:

1. The cinematographer wanted to make the movie more realistic by using colors that would look more natural on screen. He also did not want to use too much blue as it can look fake when viewed from far away.
2. When you are filming a scene, if there is too much green in it, you will have trouble seeing the actors because they will be surrounded by green, and hard to focus on them. So the color was chosen with care so that it does not distract from what’s happening in the scene but at the same time it looks natural when seen close up or far away as well.
3. Another reason why we see so many greens in this film is that this movie has been shot entirely outdoors which meant that all lighting had to be done with sunlight and daylight lamps such as tungsten lights or sodium vapor lamps or even candles lit in front of windows or buildings since there were no artificial lights around at all times during shooting. As such, we see lots of greens especially near sunset and sunrise scenes because these were times when sunlight was most intense and would give us beautiful warm colors like oranges and reds giving us a good mood while watching the film!

So I hope this answers your question!

Is there an alternate ending to the movie Big?

The movie Big, is a very heartwarming story about the bond between two childhood friends and their relationship with one another. The ending of the movie was originally supposed to be different. But due to the fact that it was too sad, they had to change it so audiences wouldn’t feel too bad after watching it.

In the original ending, Hank never goes back to Chicago because he decides not to get married to his girlfriend Diane. Instead, he decides to spend more time with his family and friend Walter. He also decided not to work for McDonald’s anymore but instead start a coffee shop in Chicago called ‘Hank’s Coffee’. This would have been considered as an alternate ending because in this case Hank would still have been happy without marrying Diane and wouldn’t be working at McDs any longer.

How old was Tom Hanks during Big?
