Happy birthday, Corey Feldman!

Those of you who read The Telegraph’s breaking news blog are already aware, but for those of you who don’t, today is Corey Feldman’s 37th birthday. To celebrate, I have collected a few clips from some of his more enjoyable movies. I would be hard pressed to think of another actor who has made more films that are dear to my heart.
And the sappy nostalgia ends here. The clips, however, continue on.
First up, we have the trailer for "Rock ‘n’ Roll High School Forever," the movie I turned to for consolation upon discovering that real high school wasn’t quite that awesome. I mean, I went into the same bathrooms every day for four years and never found myself in Eaglebauer’s warehouse.
Sadly, the infamous dance ’round the Frigidaire has not yet made it onto YouTube.
You can watch "Dream A Little Dream" starring Corey Feldman along with Corey Haim in its entirety on YouTube. Rather than posting all 11 parts here, I’ll let you search for that once you get home and you can watch it without drawing crowds of Corey-appreciating co-workers to your cubicle. Here’s a highlights clip to keep you entertained in the meantime.
"License to Drive," another Feldman/Haim collaboration, is also up on YouTube in its entirety. Here’s the trailer. If you’re taking your driver’s test anytime soon, I recommend waiting until after the exam to watch it.
Awareness of "License to Drive" makes this clip from Feldman and Haim’s reality show, "The Two Coreys," extra entertaining.
It’s a little tough to understand, but there are subtitles. Basically, Haim needs to retake his driver’s test because his license has expired. Feldman asks him a practice question on the way to the DMV - it’s the same question that resulted in him failing the test in "License to Drive." Unfortunately, time doesn’t change things.
Hopefully your day is a little brighter because of these clips, and because you’ll be checking out YouTube tonight for a further Feldman film fest. I’ll leave you with a parting shot from my favorite Feldman character, Jesse Davis from "Rock ‘n’ Roll High School Forever:"
"You have to study to be a student. I never study!"
Wisdom of the ages.
