Totally Awesome 80s: Class / Secret Admirer (Double Feature)

As far as 80's teen movies go this 2-disc collection is a must-see and must-have. For less than $2 and a quarter each you can't go wrong. It's actually cheaper to buy this combo than to buy just one of these movies. For starters- just so people know- this collection consists of 2 separate dvds- not one dvd with a movie per side."Class" (1983) was the first appearance of Andrew McCarthy, John Cusack and Virginia Madsen. It was the big screen introduction of Rob Lowe since his first movie "The Outsiders" had not yet been released in theaters. Alan Ruck also stars as one of the students as does a young Casey Siemasko, who, coincidentally, also went on to star as one of Tommy Howell's friends in "Secret Admirer." (There are actually two young actors who appear as students and friends in both of these movies.) "Class" was shot on location in Chicago and a little factoid that may be of interest is that John Cusack, who is from Chicago, later starred in "Grandview USA" (starring Tommy Howell) which was also shot on location outside of Chicago in Plymouth, IL, and he also starred in "16 Candles" another Chicago-set movie. Many of these young male stars seemed to have their work overlap into 6 degrees of separation without even needing Kevin Bacon. Anyway, "Class" is basically a teen sex romp comedy. Andrew McCarthy stars as the pathetic virgin who finds a sex-crazed 40-ish MILF who in turn takes pity on him and relieves him of his virginity only to find out later that he is much younger than he initially let on. Rob Lowe is his wild and wealthy roommate who urges him to get lost in some mindless decadence primarily aimed at losing his pesky virginity. He does so only to discover in a comedy of errors that the MILF is actually his best friend's mom. Oops. Mindless and funny this is a perfect example of an 80's teen sex comedy featuring quite the ensemble cast. Jaqueline Bisset stars as the Mrs. Robinson-type MILF and Cliff Robertson as her intolerant husband. This movie is good for a few laughs and some classic scenes of silly hilarity. It's worth owning if only to see these young actors before they really hit it big. There is a nude shot of Virginia Madsen showing boobs so her lusty fans will be pleased."Secret Admirer" (1985) is another teen sex romp comedy but with not quite as much sex as "Class." It is a comedy of mistaken identities and misunderstandings all revolving around a mysterious love note that falls into the wrong hands. Tommy Howell stars as the cute hunk in love with the beautiful Barbie while his plain-Jane girl-next-door best friend secretly pines away for his affections. She decides to profess her feelings and declare her love for him in a note but after it falls into the wrong hands, she must deal with the consequences of her misguided actions. Kelly Preston and a very young Corey Haim co-star. This is another 80's romantic comedy featuring a slew of young actors as well as some older seasoned ones too. If you are looking for good 80's teen flicks then don't pass this dynamic duo up.

Awe I remember the days Desperately Seeking Susan' and others like these THAT TIME will never again be duplicated AWESOME!!!!!!!!......THANKS AMAZON.

good double feature in one box to save on storage. Class is okay to me. Its an 80's movie but it gets a little laggy in spots. Secret admirer is also an 80's movie but it is a funny movie and lighthearted. I enjoy it more than class.

Great quality just as described Thanks

My "new" classic DVDs arrived in their pristine cases, as if they time warped from the 80's until today... except for the fact that on one disc of the 2 disc set, I found light scuff marks and several sets(4 or 5) of greasy fingerprints. Both discs played fine after a light cleaning with a mild pre-packaged cleaning solution I had on hand along with a manual, scratch / scuff remover buffing wheel... Again, played fine; still, I'm mildly perturbed finding prints and scuff on a "new' product!!!

I bought this product because my 16 year old Granddaughter is crazy for the 80's movies after falling in love with "The Outsiders" gang. She wanted these movies for her 16th birthday. I have not watched the movies but if she wanted them, they must be good.

I own Class (Rob Lowe❤️❤️); Secret Admirer I have on my YouTube account!! Both are great 80s teen movies😀😀 (arrived today, Monday, 9/04/7; no mail today because its Labor Day, but my 3 items I ordered Friday, 9/01/17 all came today😀) weird!!!

Just order was great.... Others not.Guaranteed????

I hadn't seen this movie in over 20 years and had very fond memories of it as a teenager. Secret Admirer came along with the film Class,another 80's teen movie. I didn't feel Class had aged as well but nice to see a young Rob Lowe.Secret Admirer is the tale of Michael who gets a secret love letter on the last day of school, his friend makes him believe that the girl he fancies Debbie has sent it to him.From here on in things get a little crazy, the love letter ends up in other people's hands and causing all kinds of trouble for young and old alike. Michael finds out that sometimes what you really want is right in front of you. I was never sure why this film wasn't a massive hit,it's much better than some of the films that were.C.Thomas Howell should have had a much better career. The only downside of this review is the disk wasn't released on Region 2.

A very nice movies, it is a pleasure to see again all the time.I recommend this movies to all.

Was hatte ich lange nach "Secret Admirer" gesucht! Lief Anfang der 1990er auf Pro7. Schöne Komödie, niedlich gespielt. Wird aber nur selten wiederholt. Fein. Und dann jetzt dieser Doppelpack mit "Class", einer Ransohoff-Produktion, die ich irgendwie immer verpasst hatte. Für sechs Euro inklusive Versandt. Dafür kann man sie nicht selbst drehen! Kurzweilige 80er-Jahre-Nostalgie, die ganz gut gealtert ist und heute noch Spaß macht. Sehr empfehlenswert. (Kleine Warnung für die Fremdsprachen-Muffel: Es gibt keine deutsche Tonspur!)

I’m a big Andrew McCarthy fan and was great to see Class again and watch him in his debut role. Also Secret Admirer is one of my favourite movies

Great buy! We like older movies, it was a Christmas gift for my younger daughter and she loved it! She even invited friends to view the movie. This type of movies are always young!
