[@Blackphillipsupporter]

My 8th grade teacher almost got fired for showing us this movie a few days before the end of the school year. I'm so glad he did because it really showed me how simple it is to get lost in the idea of just labeling people by clique instead of digging deeper and realizing we are all much more similar than we realize

[@random4606]

Why would he be at risk of getting fired? This movie is PG and from memory there is nothing obscene or over the top about it.

[@Blackphillipsupporter]

random4606 It was rated R bro. The reason was because of the weed smoking and constant swearing. Our principal didn't like the idea of him showing it to us since we were all 13/14 but after he explained why he wanted to show it the principal agreed and allowed him to show it to us.

that's a good teacher, I always wonder if I could be a teacher but I know I'd end up getting in trouble because I'd have them watching one of the many great but violent war films. Still, any Principal that has something against a John Hughes film is crazy. His films should be in every school!

It was just perfect,if I had some type of weird mysterious time warp that sent my mind back into my teenage body i wouldn't change a thing. The only grade I had major hell with was the 6th grade. Everyone at that school were assholes.

Dear Mr. Vernon, We accept the fact we had to sacrifice the whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms, with the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each of is a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club

0:10-0:16 in the background it looks like Bender is joking around with Claire, switching sides behind her each time she looks back. They haven't even shared the kiss yet and already he's more comfortable with her, showing her is playful personality, as if she's already his girlfriend. I bet it was improved. Judd Nelson is the best.

[@StefanyDjuba]

It's the little things

[@allycat7486]

Such an old comment but I can't help responding lol. I too noticed how he's sort of being playful in the background (I love them, so my eyes are on them the whole time). However, I just want to add that their first kiss was actually in the closet but it didn't make it to the final cut & is not even on the extended or deleted scenes on DVD. I've only seen it in 1 or 2 clips & it's shown very briefly, but it looks very sweet & tender. I think John Hughes had said something about how kissing gets repetitive very quickly so maybe he felt it would be more meaningful to leave in only that kiss by the car.

I was surprised how tenderly he kisses her. He seems like the kind of guy who'd stick his tongue down a girl's throat.

[@mirvatuulia]

Well. I think that for John the criminal is a shell, he is protecting himself with it. With Claire he dont have to do it, because they are somehow similar.. their parents are similar, they are using their kids. So in the end John opens his shell and kisses Claire tenderly, there is no reason to be criminal.

[@allthingslexi6046]

Carl Bonroy me too, brother! I'm 46 and once we got a copy of it on VHS, it was all over. My best friend and I know all the words to this wonderful movie...it's just one of those pictures that you can watch anytime...the messages never lose meaning. Even if you're a jock...or hood...or nerd...or princess...or outcast...deep down, you were still just a teenage kid, trying to figure out life and not embarrass yourself while doing it...it's ok to question life. I honestly wish that every teenager got a chance to live & love life the way I did...you're only young once, and that time will disappear before you know. You'll be staring out the window in that boring geometry class, wishing the clock would speed up...and then in the blink of an eye, you'll be looking at yourself in the mirror, wondering what happened to the last 20 years. Trust me. Please, live your life and have as much fun as possible, because once you hit adulthood EVERYTHING changes.

One of the main reasons why this masterpiece is MY FAVORITE FILM OF ALL TIME is this: None of the members of the club is the protagonist. The jock, the brain, the criminal, the princess, the basket case, none of them are the main character. The club, the group, the friendship that they created with each other IS the main character of the story.

[@wiscovirgo]

I didn't have cable for a large chunk of my childhood. So me and my siblings watched whatever my mom had in her VHS cabinet. one of those tapes just so happened to be the Breakfast Club. watched it for the first time when I was 12 and it instantly became my favorite.

I watched this the first time when I was about 16, I was in a sensitive period and probably the most intense year of my teens. I related to this movie so hard, in every single way. All the things they talk about in the movie are always relevant and important for all teens, no matter if it's in the 80s or 2010s. I've never before seen a teen movie shed light on these issues in such a genuine way, without making dumb jokes and oversimplifying. Amazing movie, and the soundtrack makes me so happy.

In 2016, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". So you are right, we can all relate to it.

[@thhomasmarks]

I am so pleased it helped. Adolescence can be an especially brutal life change- especially if there is few, or noone there to help you. Some kids dont survive to make it thru. Important for you to always remember the strength you gained navagating it successfully- your experience can make all the difference if you can share it with a kid still struggling. And when that kid makes it thru, he can help the next, and ongoing, so start that chain raction where best you see it most needed

[@ScottyRules33]

The only plausible scenario of what *could* have happened the following Monday is this - Brian would continue to be a nerdy, socially-awkward, kid with a promising future. He would consider everyone in the group his friends. For Andrew and Allison, they probably would have became a couple, but only for a short period of time. Then for Bender and Claire, they would have passed each other in the hall but not with the same resentment as they once held. Claire's gift to Bender of her earring was a token of her appreciation in seeing the truth behind the facade within her social clique. While it's possible to envision them as a couple, the reality of the situation was far too complicated. Claire came from wealth and good looks while Bender came from an abusive family only to rely on his toughness and street smarts to survive. The ending is open to interpretation and discussion, however it's important to note that all of them left Saturday detention changed people. The story truly defines what culture was like back in the eighties and how high school played a serious role in their future. They entered as strangers but left as friends.

The frightening thing about this film is the fact that over 30 years later, the issues that these kids face are still relevant. Selfish, ignorant adults still hurt their kids’ lives by simply not understanding them. The more things change, the more they stay the same...

True

[@SnowyWolborg]

I don't think they'll talk to each other in school on Monday. At least not immediately. I wanna believe the five of them will meet up after school in places where no one would see. Which would signify that they're still hiding from themselves, but need the companionship they found in the library, even in small amounts.

[@TheBooklyBreakdown]

nice, i agree!

[@federrr7]

at least Allison changed for ever, i remember watch a deleted scene where she says "i don't want to be alone anymore". So i believe she and Andrew could make a couple.

It's funny cuz now you're 15 or 16 and will probably never look back on this. If you do, well you aren't forgotten. Haha.

I watched this for the first time in the theatres back in '85, my grad year. Pretty much sums up my high school experience and that of every other kid before and since.

I wish I lived during the 80's! It seemed so much simpler. As a millennial I'm used to using computers since I was born in the 90's

I'm nostalgic for this time period even though it came out the year I was born. In a way I'm kind of glad I was at least alive when this was made.

90's had some decent music but most of it like grunge and rap were forgettable --- the 80's had so many memorable hits that stand the test of time

[@Deborahtunes]

As someone who graduated high school in the 80's, it was ok. Wouldn't want to relive those days, that's for sure, (well, maybe the summers). But I was a person who hated most of my high school years. Sure the music was cool, but we had our problems too. But, unlike you guys, we went out on dates, had school dances where we actually got up and danced. And didn't view everything like it was the end of the world, the way today's teenagers do. We knew how to have fun, talk to our friends, and enjoy the simple things...

[@battleupsaber462]

Good to know that Bumblebee liked this movie as much as the rest of us

[@big120treez]

Still one of my favorite movies.... I was 15 when this came out. A criminology course, that I took in college, had us pick each character out, match it to a criminology theory, and write an informal paper about it, after we watched it the last 2 days of class. That was our "surprise final exam" Lol... Detective Smith, for a cop you sure were one of the cool ones. That was the most fun I ever had with an exam. He wasn't worried about punctuation, grammar, works citied or anything formal. He was just interested in our opinions and we all got A's. 😉✌💜😊

[@moviefan62]

Love to see the traffic in the distance on 294! This was an actual high school but closed down and is now an Illinois State Police office with a Lottery division in there as well. It's in Des Plaines. I've gone there a couple times to cash in some winning tickets :-) So cool to walk those same stairs.

[@dinonatorful]

awesome

[@lionelhutz5137]

Those were the same stairs in 'Ferris Bueller's day off' when Simone and Principal Rooney are waiting for her "dad" (Ferris) to pick her up.

Meine Schulzeit konnte nicht besser gewesen sein. Absoluter Kultfilm. John Hughes ist ein Genie.

[@TheTraveler976]

This movie sums up to ones own self discovery and being who you are at its fullest. I was born the same year this came out in 1985. I always loved the ending as he walked across the football field raising his hand in triumph, I get emotional then. It means to me standing your ground and walking in it. Just because we are different don't treat me any more different than the next guy. Loved this move, everyone should see it young and old. Don't you forget about me by Simple Minds was so fitting to the credits of this epic film.. In 2016, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.

[@manuelorozco7760]

Pitch Perfect and Bumblebee sent me here. I won’t forget seeing this movie at home in the summer of 2011 before starting my senior year of high school! For my sophomore year I was put in a Social Studies/Homework class my one on one aide called The Breakfast Club because of how we bonded over our backgrounds and lives off campus. Luckily I never got detention in high school.

[@snikerz5886]

Back in highschool there was this one girl I hated (Major "cool kid"/preppy sort ) and she use to tell me all the time I reminded her of John Bender from the breakfast club. I had never seen the movie at that point. Now that I have, looking back on it, I would have thanked her and asked her out on the spot.

[@TheBooklyBreakdown]

wow...why did you hate her tho? just 'cause she was a prep? no hate mate

[@billbelzek6748]

I doubt you woulda asked her out --- she was part of the "Prissy Clique" and wanted nothing to do with a guy like you --- I was a nerd in high school but always fantasized about dating this one cute girl who had the biggest boobs in my class --- but I knew I never had a chance with her so I had to settle for rubbing one out thinking about her naked LOL

In a generation where a lot of classic films are being remade, this is one of those which shall NEVER BE TOUCHED, SHALL NEVER BE REMADE. It's a masterpiece

[@canadude6401]

John Hughes is one of those rare people out of Hollywood that really captured the essence of the coming of age genre. He didn't make films about getting laid, most if not all of his films delve into deep interpersonal connections with other humans. Planes Trains and Automobiles is a fantastic film about communicating and relating with people different than yourself. If you haven't seen it, check it out. Steve Martin and John Candy should have earned best actor Oscars, but Oscars tend to favour intense dramatic, epic films.

[@waynezahra9213]

Beautiful movie. John Hughes was absolutely a special human being Who’s writing was like no other. RIP Mr Hughes and thank you for your wonderful movies. Sleep tight 🙏🏻❤️

The best thing about the ending is that we will never know what happened next. That' the magic of the story: a whole future of possibilities, without a way to know how this saturday affected their lifes.

That just gives you the reason to bring it In and have the whole class watch it. One of my health/gym teachers yelled at me for not seeing The Sandlot so on the next Friday he gave us all a break and made us watch The Sandlot. Lol

Everytime my friends and I would skip school back in the 90s, we would have to walk across the football field like Bender to get off school property, once we knew we were in the clear, we would always hold our fist up the same way lol, good memories.

Just love how he holds onto her jumper as she moves away...... SO cute!!!!

[@urszalucullus8387]

Have to admit - without "Futurama" I would have not watched "The Breakfast Club", but I do not regret it. There are a lot of movies out there that "teach" you "You have to look behind the surface" - but "Breakfast Club" does it without this "morale index finger" of e.g. Disney Movies (nothing against Disney Movies, I just needed an example). Unfortunately not only teachers see their students pressed into a scheme, but as we grow we tend to press "us" into a scheme as well, because we want to be seen in a certain light - forgetting that we are a prism, not a single color. When one calls her/himself "A Gamer" everyone acts surprised when (s)he's saying "And I like Body-building". When (s)he calls her/himself a Body-builder everybody seems to be surprised that (s)he's into science and/ or arts ....

[@alceushunterx]

same I was rewatching victorious and I saw some unseen episodes, one of them was a parody of the breakfast club "the breakfast bunch". I loved the episode even though it was very very fast. I searched the episode up on youtube and in the comments people kept saying "wow why would they trash such a good movie?" In otherwords I had to check out the movie myself.
