Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on August 25, 1939)

Happy Birthday, John Badham! May your day be filled with more disco moves than Tony Manero, smarter strategies than WarGames' Joshua, and sparks brighter than Johnny 5's circuits. Your films taught us that dancing solves everything, computers can have feelings too, and robots are just misunderstood friends.

Decades later, your classics still inspire spontaneous dance-offs and nostalgic movie marathons. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as you've given audiences worldwide—because let's face it: you're the director who made staying alive look easy. Keep shining brighter than a disco ball; after all these years, you're still number five—alive!
