Andrew McCarthy's Hulu original documentary "Brats" is part of a showbiz retrospective, a personal journey. McCarthy, one of the young movie stars of the 1980s, explores the meaning of the "Brat Pack" label, which was applied to himself and other famous actors in their 20s, following an article in New York magazine.

For McCarthy, the label had only negative connotations that drove his career, but many of the peers he interviewed (including Demi Moore, Rob Lowe and Emilio Estevez) have a more balanced perspective.

"Brat" is an attractively awkward piece of individual expression that places it in good company among other autobiographical documentaries. Here are 5 more intimate, obvious showbiz documentaries about the intersection of filmmaking and emotional turmoil that you'll check out after watching "Brat"

Like "Brat," Soleil Moon Fly's "Kid 90" was made by someone in the middle of it, almost as if it were the heyday of a young actor. Fry, who played the title character in the bittersweet Doki sitcom Punky Brewster, looks back on the 1990s when 10・year・old stars, including those who died too young. The difference between Fry and McCarthy is that Fry experienced much more severe pain and loss while gaining fame, and she handled it much more effectively.

Fry also, thanks to the increased availability of consumer video cameras and her preference for recording her friends and colleagues, raw home video results from the period are as emotionally vulnerable as "brat" but have matured painstakingly with more honest introspection.

Fox has been accused of being a "Brat Pack" philanderer as a young star of the 1980s who escaped the Brat Pack label as what his "Back to the Future" co-star Lee Thompson calls "Brat Pack adjacency." It appears easily in the muthnipet. He faces a more serious struggle after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991, and the director Davis Guggenheim's documentary clearly sees his personal and professional life closely intertwined.

To illustrate how they are connected, the Guggenheim ingeniously seamlessly interweaves in clips of Fox's acting work as part of his life story, combining interviews, re-enactments, and scenes from Fox movies and TV shows. This is a powerful way to portray how central acting has always been for Fox, and how his personal challenges have fed back into his performance. It will be "still" far more influential than a typical approved celebrity biotook.

The movie where Sandi Tan worked as a teenager was out of the reach of the Brat Pack movie because it was hijacked by her supposed mentor and never ended. Decades later, Tan turned the search for that missing film into an unforgettable personal odyssey, a memoir about her years of growing up in Singapore and her early artistic ambitions. Tan and her friends set out in 1992 to make a road movie called "Sharkers" with the help of an American film professor.

Instead of facilitating the vision of his students, that professor takes the footage hostage, and Tan finally gets access to it after his death, and the lost film while the original film no longer exists, it inspires a new, more fully realized film in its place.
