LET'S CELEBRATE '85

This year, we're celebrating some big anniversaries here at FAN EXPO—40 years of Back to the Future at FAN EXPO New Orleans, and 40 years of The Breakfast Club at MEGACON Orlando. In honor of some of the '80s greatest cinema, we're pairing you with iconic movies turning 40 in 2025.

Hop in to the Delorean, and let's head back to 1985.

Aries

Amy (Amanda Bearse) reaches out towards the camera, mid transformation into a vampire.

Fright Night

There's nothing like the original - and you really are as original as they come. Camp horror with a dash of comedy, this vampire flick is a must-watch.

Capricorn

Gary and Lisa (Anthony Michael Hall, Kelly LeBrock) are seated at prom. Gary looks to be in awe as other students speak to him and his date.

Weird Science

You and this movie are both full of big ideas. You may not always like how your plans turn out, but you're certainly adaptable when things change.

Pisces

The Goonies read a map and check either compass as they set off on their adventure.

The Goonies

An unending sense of adventure and vivid imagination, two things that every no one ever wants to grow out of. Pisces are lucky to embody both of them.

Gemini

Herbert stares at his vile full of serum as he fills the syringe - the serum is fluorescent green.

Re-Animator

1985 was a sci-fi lover's dream, and this one is no exception. As a lover of chaos, Re-Animator is the perfect movie for Gemini. With its sharp turns and quick wit, it will become a quick fave.

Taurus

The cast is seated together at a table by the bar - the table littered with various beverages as the all pose looking at a different member of the cast.

St. Elmo's Fire

You are highly emotionally intelligent and are always there for those around you. This one will feel close to home and warm your heart in one fell swoop.

Virgo

Scott, now fully transformed into a wolf, shows up at school in his letterman jacket, he dons sunglasses as he smiles at a person off screen

Teen Wolf

It's all about balance - who you are and who you'll become. This creature comedy will teach you more about yourself than you thought possible.

Aquarius

All of the party's staff and attendees stand in the hallway - their faces in varying states of smiles and confusion

Clue: The Movie

You love to be kept on your toes; every whodunnit is a feast for your eyes and mind. Combine that with a funny and charming cast, and you're in for your favorite kind of movie night.

Sagittarius

Models, wearing white fluffy parkas, pose with personal sized tubs of 'The Stuff', in front of a pink neon sign of the product name.

The Stuff

Rife with social commentary that's still relevant today, this horror comedy will keep you thinking the whole time if you let it. Your love of all things bold, and a passion for content with a deeper meaning ensures that this movie is perfect for you.

Scorpio

The Breakfast Club are seated on one of the library's long tables - each with a look of distaste on their faces for being in detention.

The Breakfast Club

You love connecting to people, and that's what The Breakfast Club is all about--bringing together unlikely friends. You yourself have a way of bringing all kinds of people together and making the most of every situation.

Cancer

Standing in a 15 person kick-line, the chorus line wear all gold outfits and hats as they extend their legs during a dance number

A Chorus Line

You are not afraid to chase your dreams - and this movie proves how amazing that can truly be. While musicals aren't for everyone, this one is sure to have your toes tapping before the end credits.

Leo

Pee-wee whizzes through the park on his cherry red big wheel, his legs kicked up over the handle bars.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure

Your sense of whimsy is undeniable, and when you marry that with a Tim Burton movie that doesn't quite feel like a Tim Burton movie, you've got a recipe for success and enjoyment. This is the ultimate popcorn movie.

Libra

Wearing his own version of protective gear - Doc stares at Marty, who stares back in awe. A small plunger-like device is stuck to Marty's forehead.

Back to the Future

Sci-fi magic, and your love of creative story-telling - it's a match. Like Marty, you're a quick thinker, and you will always do anything to save the world you know and love.
