Don't You Forget About Me

So 25 years ago (and a day), a movie opened in theaters that changed cinema forever. That movie? The Breakfast Club!!!

Yes, hard as it is to believe, the movie turned 25. Don't that just make you feel old as hell?

It was a story about a group of different students brought together for one saturday in detention, with mean Mr. Vernon watching over them. They talk, argue, and relate, empathizing with each other and forming lifelong friendships, if the hopeful ending is anything to go by. Also, Ally Sheedy is awesome.

While there have been a bunch of teen movies that have bettered it (Say Anything, Some Kind of Wonderful, Mean Girls), The Breakfast Club is the most accessible example of american teen moviehood and remains watchable and quotable.

And hey, how were your high school years? mine was a-ok, nothing too exciting. Adequately Average. Glad to have that behind me, but mostly remembering the good times.

    Mean Girls was better at depicting typical bullying girls have to endure.

    Watched Mean Girls and Clueless, both for the first time, back to back about two weeks ago.

    And Mean Girls was pretty good, but nowhere near The Breakfast Club to me.

    Fuckin' bullshit

    not to mention that he had by far the biggest problem what with the plan of
    killing himself
    and when he reveals it, they laugh in his face

    then they leave him to do their homework while they go off to have illicit teenage sex

    I think this movie is kind of bad really though

    Wasn't Abed's purpose in the first episode of Community to essentially compare them to the cast of The Breakfast Club?

    I love this movie for many reasons.

    The best reason being, after I watched it with my now-girlfriend 4 years ago, we got together that same night.

    Apparently she didn't forget about me.

    And at least they establish the Molly Ringwald/Judd Nelson pairing.

    With the other, it's all, "Oh, shit, movie's ending soon. Uhhhhh - you two! Shack up!"

    no

    what


    Anthony Michael Hall's dad was played by John Hughes (I think?), you see him at the end.

    He and the janitor were just friendly.
