They did a lot of boarding school movies in the first half of the 80's, for some reason. Taps, Lords, Private School (greatest opening credits song OAT), Class, Up the Academy, Making the Grade and probably some others I'm forgetting.

Funny looking back. I did not really notice him as anyone until Revolutions. He's been in all kinds of stuff.

Clearly it killed the genre (and it was from the 90s so not shocking)

Nah, it was an outlier. Too far removed from the other one's mentioned.

The one where he dies.

No spoilers.

It's a fricking 80s movie.

Statue of limitations.
