The Breakfast Club
Five strangers with nothing in common, except each other.
They were five students with nothing in common, faced with spending a Saturday detention together in their high school library. At 7 a.m., they had nothing to say, but by 4 p.m. they had bared their souls to each other and become good friends. John Hughes creator of the critically acclaimed Sixteen Candles, wrote, directed and produced this hilarious and often touching comedy starring Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy. To the outside world they were simply the Jock, the Brain, the Criminal, the Princess and the Kook, but to each other, they would always be The Breakfast Club.

This is a classic 80's movie! I was born in the 80's so I didn't watch this movie until the 2000's and I still enjoyed it! The characters compliment each other so well and I think it applies to the High School situation even today. It was great to see young people step outside of their comfort zone and find themselves.Great movie for those times...and these - usernameya
Well I was born in 84 so I didn't experience this film when it was released but watching it now, you can see why there would have been such a buzz back then. It's one of the most honest films I can think of. The actors did a good job with tapping into the youth and how they acted during those times. I think things have changed so much and yet the deep issues in this film still hold true to today which would make new viewers enjoy the film as well. Solid filmmaking.Classic Teen Movie - Anyone can watch. - WhatsOnGirl
Snapshot: 5 different stereotyped kids + Detention + John Hughes = Best Teen movies ever made.
Okay, so yes its a teen movie, but its more a movie you watch in your teens, but can learn from years to come. So you probably won't be watching it after age 25, but still. Every character, every line, and every emotion is completely clear, and any teenager can connect to one of the characters.
The Geek? The Princess? The basketcase? The Athlete? The Rebel? Everyone in highschool can learn from every character, as they connect the things they go through to what happens to us in real life. Its close to teen genius, but its not some classic black and white movie. Rather it is something to show to your kids, to get them thinking about where they stand in life, and what that means to them.When I first saw this thats exactly what I did.
The Characters are strong and amazingly played by each teenage actor. Their emotions are real, and is exactly what we're going through. The plot is interesting, and grabbing. The writing plain smart. You can never see this movie too many times, as you see new thing each time, and start dancing along with them.
Watch, share, think.
