GOFIXMEATURKEYPOTPIE!

Imagine this movie if all the characters had smartphones and the Internet :upsidedow

Ahh that was a classic. Thanks for reminding me how old I am :321GFY:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Awesome classic movie

what's so special with this movie, it's just another teenager movie...

Brilliant film that still perfectly captures the flavor of that era.

How many communists in this movie ?

I haven't seen "Just Another Teenage Movie" yet, so I have no idea how similar they are :helpme

Classic Movie.

It's a good movie. Also like it due to the Chicago ties. :2 cents:

I learned to masturbate from Molly Ringwald.

i guess it's a cultural stonestep for your generation

I guess that the good phrase is "teen movie"

Exactly and well said...... just takes you right back to a time was actually a good time in the world over all - there was no darkness like now.

BBC - Culture - Does The Breakfast Club hold up?

We were toward the end of the cold war :2 cents: There was plenty of darkness.

killer read. :thumbsup

NO... you were young and carefree...

The Breakfast Club 30th Anniversary: Molly Ringwald Talks Filming

Do you ever wonder what the movie would look like if it was made in 2015?

Yeah, no one would have talked. We would have all just been sitting there with our phones texting our friends.

Looks like it was the quality citizen times:

And while it?s unsurprising to see the Brain bristle at the sight of marijuana, the Jock, the Princess and the Brain also demonise the Criminal for smoking. It?s hard to imagine today?s teenagers would be so puritanical. The attitude of The Breakfast Club reflects a Reagan-era adolescence in which ?burning? was steeped in stigma.

:thumbsup:winkwink:

classic movie

and suddently a terrorist enters in the room: "you dared to draw the prophet ? tak tak tak tak tak tak tak" and then fox news...

I disagree with Ringwald...... I think the dance sequence was REALLY COOL. The only thing that really surprises me is how Judd Nelson, who is the main and most vocal character and the star of this movie, failed to capitalize on it. He was awesome in Billionaires Boys Club but practically disappeared after that and I think most the rest of the cast did more movie work than him.

I wrote once before in another thread that I blame his flarey nostrils - that has kept him down - otherwise he would be where Robert Downey Jr. is doing Iron Man or something like that.

30! Damn, time fukn flies. :helpme

It's not as crazy as it sounds.... there's even a facebook page dedicated to his nostrils:

it doesn't sound crazy, every shit is on facebook

I was never too crazy about this flick.

Huh? I remember the "big red button" and the red phone to the USSR being an ongoing unfunny gag on Night Court and other sitcoms. That scared the crap out of me when I was a young'un. Stack on top of that the recession of the 80s that added some stress to the household and the neighbourhood, and I don't recall the 80s being so sunshiney.

I can only watch that movie up until the point where it tries to get all serious. Before that, Judd Nelson is gold.

Nice movie. Also refreshing to see a movie where nobody forced them to have token guys on set...

I assume you saw the flick she was in later called "Malicious."

I liked Breakfast club, but not as much as everyone else I guess.

I much preferred Sixteen Candles. Different type of movie I know, but when I think of 80's movies, Sixteen Candles is always near the top. Very funny, very fun.

And if you're a John Hughes fan, look for this movie

16 candles is the same kind of movie as breakfast club and john hughes produced and directed both films.

They were all good but come on...... The Breakfast Club was a TOTAL classic!

Actually another really cool John Huges movie is "Weird Science" - now that movie was just one of those which at the age of like mid teens you HAD to go and get from the video store..... it was a crime not to see this movie!

Not Another Teen Movie was a spoof on most of John Hughes movies with other later movies like, Can't Hardly Wait, Road Trip, Dude Where's My Car, Clueless, Cruel intentions etc. It even had Molly Ringwold in the final sequence making fun of it. But the detention scene even has Vernon in it.

one of my favorite moves. I love all the John Hughes movies from that time.
