Less Than Zero, the ‘80s film adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ novel by the same name, starred “Brat Pack” hit makers: Andrew McCarthy, Robert Downey Jr. and Jami Gertz. Andrew McCarthy’s character, Clay, comes home for Christmas break during his first year of college to find both his best friend (Downey Jr.) and high school girlfriend (Gertz) addicted to drugs and in a confusing love triangle. Set against the cocaine-ridden, party hard backdrop of LA’s wealthy offspring, the film was a grim depiction of LA’s desperate youth.
