I was a senior in high school when the movie came out in theaters. Everyone in the Class of '85 went to see the movie. We chose "Don't You Forget About Me" as our class song. To me, it's amazing that many younger people relate to this movie, even almost 30 years after it was made.

Dear Mr. Vernon, We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it is that 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 and the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us 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.

That said, I'm a child of the 80s myself, my teen years were all in the 80s...and if I can't have the 50s, I'll take the 80s. I have zero regrets.

Kind of strange but, damn, is it really that bad to grow up now? The Internet / WWW is a great tool and it's probably the only thing I wish that I had as a kid or teen. Well, we did have WWW in the mid 1990s but not wifi, only dial up lol! And I'd go into AOL chat rooms a lot back then. :)

This is why movies like this one are a great way for younger generations to see what a different decade was like. TBC is 10 years older than me. It is a generational thing, I think. I grew up with Dragon Tales, Caillou, Arthur, Teletubbies, Sesame Street, SpongeBob, and so much more from the '90s and early 2000s. When TV began to really suck ass I was introduced to classic tv. I am almost 20 now and was introduced to shows of my parent's generation aka "Pettycoat Junction, Bewitched, I Love Lucy, I Dream of Jeannie," etc in my mid to late teens. I absolutely love these shows, but it doesn't help that I have an obsession with the 1950s and '60s. But I love pretty much every decade from the 20th century for different reasons.

I agree, but it is definitely an adjustment when plopped into that "time warp" like situation. I went home to the small mid-west town where I grew up last weekend for four days for a funeral. The house I stayed at had NO internet, NO cable, 4 channels, NO signal on my cell AT ALL, no house phone because it is a vaca home, and I was at the mercy of those who had a car and would allow me to borrow their phone. The "back in time" feel of it was so obvious and really affected me, in a good way. We talked, we really spent time engaged with each other, we listened to TAPES... lol, and watched a few VHS tapes, it was as close to the eighties, the way I remember it, as possible. The fact that that little town DOES NOT CHANGE and the same people are there, made the "time warp" "back in time" feel even more real. Several of us mentioned it, and really appreciated the experience. I will say, hair styles... not missing or nostalgic about those "bangs" or "mulletts" at all. The clothes... yea, I am planning on digging into some of the boxes in my Mom's garage for anything I can find...
@christinacascadilla44735 ай бұрын
Fun facts for those who don’t know much about the movie’s background. Ronald Reagan was the first choice to play Vernon, but a meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev conflicted with the shooting schedule and he could not accept the role. In Reagan’s autobiography, An American Life, he calls this “The biggest regret of my life.” Harvey Keitel was the next pick, but after reading the script he told John Hughes that he’d only play the role if he could dress in the same clothes he wore in “Taxi Driver.” So Paul Gleason, son of Jackie Gleason, won the role. During shooting he improvised the movie’s most famous line, “Yo Sal, how come there ain’t no brothers up on the wall?” The role Anthony Michael Hall played was originally written for a chimpanzee. Eric Stolz was originally cast as Bender, then halfway through filming John Hughes realized he wasn’t menacing enough and fired him. But you can still see glimpses of Stolz in the movie. That is his head between Molly Ringwald’s knees. And Hughes wanted Justine Bateman as the Claire character, but Gary David Goldberg would not give her the time off needed to film the movie. Filming was delayed for six months because of a typhoon. Emilio Estevez suffered a heart attack right before shooting began, also delaying the shooting schedule. The five students were originally supposed to serve their detention in the school cafeteria, locked into the walk-in refrigerator, but then producers were worried that children would try to copy the movie and lock themselves into their refrigerators at home, then suffocate. The exterior scenes were shot at a suburban high school right outside of Chicago, but the library scenes were filmed at the Princeton University library, which is mostly underground and that’s why you see no windows in the movie’s library. Harvard University refused permission to film the dance scene there, so it was done at Oxford in England. Judd Nelson went undercover as a high school student at a local high school because seven years after graduating from a high school in Maine he had no memory of what high school was like, and found he liked it so much that he stayed at that high school after filming and four years later graduated as their Valedictorian. No one at that school ever realized he was an actor and not a student, even though he had been in three movies before “The Breakfast Club.”

I’m so blessed to say that I lived in the 80’s and went to high school from 85-89. Best time of my life. And you younger kids, what you see in John Hughes movies, it was exactly like that during that time. Be a fan of the 80’s and 90’s.👍

wasn't nothing to the interview. if you are going to do a 25 year anniversary on a movie at least make sure everyone could make it and do a better job interviewing the cast. get a host who connects with the 80's and loves the 80's would help not just another job to do/have.

The 80s were a blast, and the last truly private and innocent decade in human history. No internet yet, barely any cable TV, you couldn't be sexually explicit or graphically violent on network TV, no school shootings, no cellphones, no video surveillance, celebrities didn't automatically sell out and become advertising conglomerates, Michael Jackson wasn't a freak yet or dead yet, and pop songs didn't have to have a relentless dance beat and always be about sex. I was born in 1967 which means I was a senior in high school when "The Breakfast Club" came out, and it changed my life, still one of my favorite movies. I love my cellphone and my iPod and obviously I use the internet, but we did just fine in the Eighties without all that stuff. The world was bigger and more mysterious then because you couldn't just zip over to England on Google Earth and you could only put one tape at a time in your Walkman, and somehow that made life more interesting. I don't know how, it just did.

The best thing about that movie was the fact that they hated each other, but stuck together. They were from different backgrounds, different clicks, but they were all in there together and overcame their differences. IMHO, that's what made the movie great. I was 11 when Breakfast Club came out. My sister was 14. My parents took us to see it. I can still smell the theater and taste the Twizzlers. Theater of Pain came out soon after that. I'd love to go back in time.

Brilliant teenager movie. Great to see these guys still being friends over the years. I was 12 when BFC went out. The French version were for sure a little different but the spirit was right there. I saw the movie (countless times) but with its original sound track years after and I rediscovered it somehow and I enjoyed it even more. Very inspiring as a teen back then and awesome memories as a 40er ! And Simple Minds "Don't You Forget About Me"... In my fav' playlist even since.

loved the movie, those young adults at the time didn't realize what they had created, they were instruments and they created a piece of time that is dear to us. The music, costumes, the iconic lines, do they realize they captured something wonderful? Except for Bueller's day off, there is no other movie that I can think of that matters from the 80's.

SomethingReal1119 I'm a 90s teen, but an 80s kid. Both amazing decades. Would have loved to be a teen in the 80s, but I lucked out with the 90s I feel. I'd hate to be a teenager nowadays with such a shallow generation of tweeters. I'd feel robbed, like I'd missed out on something better, more magical. I don't feel that way about the 70s. They looked like they sucked. Everything looked so crusty for that decade. Although 60s would have been cool. Anything is better than the present days.
