Teen Dream: John Hughes Retrospective

Overview

You have to hand it to the Lido cinema: when it comes their latest retrospective, they couldn't have chosen a better moniker. John Hughes turned teenage dreams into some of the best movies of the '80s, and then inspired many a youthful daydream in turn. Whether you lived through his heyday, watched his flicks over and over again on VHS, DVD or streaming, or both, it's likely your adolescent years wouldn't have been the same without him.

At Teen Dream: John Hughes Retrospective, four of the filmmaker's films will grace the Lido's big screen as part of month-long showcase of his ace work. Learn what it's like to be Pretty in Pink, catch the brightly burning excitement of Sixteen Candles, hang out with The Breakfast Club and discover Some Kind of Wonderful.

Each film screens on Sunday afternoon at 2pm. Prepare for killer '80s soundtracks and killer fashions as well. Dressing up to match is up to you.
