The Breakfast Club
When five high school students from different social groups are forced to spend a Saturday together in detention, they find themselves interacting with and understanding each other for the first time. A jock (Emilio Estevez), a criminal (Judd Nelson), a princess (Molly Ringwald), a basket case (Ally Sheedy), and a brain (Anthony Michael Hall) talk about everything from parental tension to sex to peer pressure to hurtful stereotypes while serving time. Ultimately, the five find that they may have more in common than they ever imagined and learn more about themselves as well as each other. The only question is, Will they remember what they've learned after they leave detention

One of the high-water marks of the 1980s teenpic, this Saturday detention drama from director John Hughes has lost some of its freshness in the face of time and endless inferior imitations. Yet this chat-fest still rings true often enough to be relevant to both overgrown teenagers and the disgruntled kids of today. Brat Packers Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson and Ally Sheedy are joined by teen favourite of the time, Molly Ringwald, and the underestimated Anthony Michael Hall for a mix of justified grievances, self-pitying whinges and hard-hitting home truths. The girls easily outshine the boys, but everyone manages to breathe a little life into their essentially clichéd characters.

An iconic movie of the '80s, with all the unappealing baggage that suggests. Five mutually antipathetic teens are... read more on Time Out

The Breakfast Club
I watched this years ago when I was younger and fell in love with it.
It is a brillant teen film that we can all relate to in some sort of way.
Judd Nelson is really sexy in this.
Is funny places and thoughtful in other parts.
Eighties film all the way... -

A most excellent film
One of the best films to come out of the 80's brat pack genre
ok so now it will seem a little out dated, but when we were all that much younger, this film really toughed a nerve.
The way teacher/pupils were back then, nope they didn't carry guns, nor did they have such disregard to anyone in authority.
The sound track,Simple Minds - Most wondeful.
well worth a watch! -

John Hughes: “Don’t you… Forget about me.”
- 11 Aug 2009
First Michael Jackson and now John Hughes. For those of us who were still growing up in the 1980s this summer is a rude reminder that we’re all getting older, and faster than we thought. Hughes – who died from a heart-attack last week at the age of 59 – can’t really be compared to Jackson in terms of fame or artistry. Most people probably never saw a picture of him before this week. But don’t underestimate Hughes’ impact on those teenagers who would turn... Read more
