The Brat Pack is a nickname given to a group of young actors who appeared together in films during the 1980s.
The films themselves have been described as representative of "the socially apathetic, cynical, money-possessed and ideologically barren eighties generation
Rock-oriented films such as Almost Famous, School of Rock and Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny refer to the band and feature their songs, and other films have used the band's material in their soundtracks, including Apollo 13 (which used "I Can See For Miles") and Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (which used a take of "My Generation" recorded for the BBC)
