HD Film Tributes Supports Kamala Harris for President! - kamalaharris.com/
I've never done anything like this before with this channel, however this is the most important presidential election of our lifetime. -- Donald Trump is a convicted felon who has also been found liable for both fraud and sexual assault. In addition, he clearly does not respect the democratic process unless the results are in his favor. That is why I am using this channel (and the over one million views it gets per day) to encourage people to vote for Kamala Harris on November 5th. She supports raising the minimum wage, LGBTQ rights, clean energy, and a woman's right to choose. -- I realize that I'll probably lose some subscribers because of this post, and for that I'm sorry because I hate to see anyone go. -- Anyway, thank you for reading.

Dear Mr. Vernon, We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a 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, in 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

I love how even their seating arrangement indicates their position. Claire and Andrew sit next to each other at the front, clean-cut and on display. Bender sits behind them, taking the backseat and watching them with the snarky observations, also partially hidden in their shadow as it were. Brian and Allison are off to the side, both much more isolated than the others, but Brian is in the front (good student with a good image) and Allison is in the back (forgotten wallflower)

Dude was tripping bcz I guess I wasn't there in the exact moment the song was popular. He's lucky that I didn't tell him that his generation of music sucked because he was old , so therefore it didn't apply to me and therefore irrelevant and not worth listening too.

Here today @ 62 and remembering being a 23 year old who fell in love with this movie and song while mentoring a young teen age girl! That girl is now a 50 year old Grandmother and we are still deeply bonded because of this movie that we would recite verbatim! We will give it a try soon Today Brats came out on Hulu 6/13/24! 63 in 17 days and this song is still fantastic!

[@lizapaulineramirez]

I just watched it and loved it! 🤗 I've always had a crush on Andrew McCarthy, he's so handsome! 😍🥰

[@theretiringbarber]

Great movie, great music

[@zombipd]

Fortunately, I lived through the eighties. I grew up with the myth of American films! My dream has always been to attend an American high school! When I look at this masterpiece my dream comes true. Immense Hughes. Thank you very much for the emotions you sent me. A hug from Italy.

[@ninaovgpt]

Cant believe billy idol turned down the chance to record this and luckily simple minds accepted it and made a legendary song that made a film timeless

[@aprilgosa5779]

nina woodriff wow and for a while when I was younger I thought it was Billy who sang this song LOL

[@Lizawrites]

It was David Bowie who turned it down.

[@footbru]

Not quite - I read about it yesterday ... it was written for Simple Minds, but they were reluctant, preferring to concentrate on their own music. Note that it was never included on one of their albums. The writers then offered it to Bryan Ferry and Billy Idol, who declined. Then Chrissie Hynde (Jim Kerr's wife at the time) and their manager piled on the pressure, and they recorded it.

Hey, hey, hey, hey Ooh-ooh, ooh-woh Won't you come see about me? I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby Tell me your troubles and doubts Give them everything, inside and out and Love's strange, so real in the dark Think of the tender things that we were working on Slow change may pull us apart When the light gets into your heart, baby Don't you forget about me Don't, don't, don't, don't Don't you forget about me Will you stand above me? Look my way? Never love me? Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling Down, down, down Will you recognize me? Call my name or walk on by? Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling Down, down, down, down Hey, hey, hey, hey Ooh-ooh, ooh-woh Don't you try and pretend It's my feeling we'll win in the end, I won't Harm you or touch your defenses Vanity, insecurity uh-uh! Don't you forget about me I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby Going to take you apart I'll put us back together at heart, baby Don't you forget about me Don't, don't, don't, don't Don't you forget about me As you walk on by Will you call my name? As you walk on by Will you call my name? And you walk away Or will you walk away? Will you walk on by? Come on, call my name Will you call my name? I say: Ooh la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la When you walk on by And you call my name

[@43420Girl]

I watched it the other day was crying i was laughing so hard God i miss the 80s 😢😢😢No Breakfast Club we will NOT NOT NOT FORGET YOU

[@glenrosarian2352]

I am from the Breakfast Club generation. This was the coming-of-age movie for me in high school. I would say it's my favorite movie ever, and certainly the best theme song ever. I love the role Ally Sheedy played. Also, I believe teens today should be required to watch this movie, just to see how things were for them in 1985.

[@Io-Io-Io]

It would certainly help them

[@glenrosarian2352]

I think the movie actually takes place in 1984.

[@lastpme]

High School in 80s....great movie 🍿

[@crystalbrown1945]

I want to do my high school years over from 1979-1983 again 😎. Does anyone have a working time machine??!! I am so ready to go back.

[@vandergod]

For me, the 80’s were high school and college. I didn’t realize how great they were back then but I really enjoyed them. I’m glad for the experiences and how the music from that decade still plays loud and proud today!

[@glamgal28]

40 years old today!

[@Blitzo8390]

John Hughes’ best movie

[@BRONZALiVE]

Goddamn, this is the best teenage film of all time, it spoke to me when I was younger and I will always love it!

[@Rob-Benny-Hill]

This was the one movie Im proud to say, came from my era. I was a teenager when this came out and could relate to the characters. Recently my daughter watched it, she loved it. It truly is a timeless classic.

[@shireboundscribbles]

A movie that spoke to a generation, and still does.

[@peterbaker8019]

Yes, Dick. I have a question. Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe? A classic line from a classic movie. I REALLY miss the '80's.

[@jojo-xu4iz]

I'll give you the answer to that question next Saturday Bender.

[@toddwoods582]

"Dad....what was it like when you were my age growing up, like really? " " Well, have a seat son, and let's watch a movie together."

[@ingobund730]

WHAT A soundtrack !!!!! Still gives me goosebumps, even after 37!!! yrs & keeps it alive 4 ever! Still sounds fresh......& wonderful Molly ! Pretty (in pink😉) dance at 2:40 btw. Luv it....

[@fasttimes6346]

Class of 85 I had the best childhood… sorry you missed it

[@andymccabe6102]

John Hughes, He made so many cool films. Funny, Cool, Cheesy Awesome

[@CrazyHorse104]

Pure gold, I love this and it hits home 💘

[@hectorlopez1069]

You are right

[@abdirisakawes6544]

What a film!

[@francopolo510]

I watched this on a flight, and my neighbor said it was a good movie. I can never forget it; it's very hard to describe, but in that moment, I truly felt the essence of the movie. I would even say it's the best movie ever, but it's just so hard to fit it into one category.

[@justinsantos8514]

I finally watched this movie for the first time 2 weeks ago and i really enjoyed it. It brought back hilarious memories of my little "adventures" through the halls and classrooms of our school when i was supposed to be in detention with bfs and schoolmates. I was such a little shit. Lol

[@freedomlover9560]

Feels pretty good being bad, huh?

[@chrisd7209]

Thank God I grew up in the 80s, but now I'm 48. Still the best decade for life!

[@luvslogistics1725]

I’m turning 40 but had an older brother so caught all the great music

[@philiphunn194]

I'll be 42 this year. Can't work out where all that time went, but I'll always be grateful for the 80s.

[@mabusestestament]

90s was great too for a teen 🍻

[@cynthiatrejo7298]

47 in 2 weeks!!! Dammm I was so there miss these days!!!

[@christinaburke2461]

Can we go back to the 80s? It wasn't perfect but there was so much hope in the air. Simpler times...so uncomplicated. Great music.

[@leanneevans3000]

Time flies by so quickly. Love this song and video combo

[@andrelloyd4010]

One of the worlds most incredibly innovative & emotive directors. Analyse the content and context of his productions and you will clearly see the incredible foresight and ingenuity of Hughes. He has a wonderful capacity to express the human condition and life in all its truisms - He is without doubt one of the most creative visionaries !

[@joanrondeau-if6rj]

I am a senior citizen, and this is still one of my favorite movies ever and one of my favorite songs. I love the movie and I love Simple Minds. ❤

[@cbozz7063]

YOu lived the best years anyone could ask for.

[@mr.thomas6072]

Welcome too the fold. I'm 65 and I'm loving life. Don't forget me 😊😊

[@mr.thomas6072]

​@@cbozz7063 agreed 😊😊

[@nicholemears6618]

I just graduated and I'm so happy to say they used this song to represent our senior class! Class of 2021- don't forget about us.

[@jrgirl32]

Me too!

[@magicconches.]

Im about to graduate this year and I am legit trying to get the administration to use this song

[@pacman071]

That's cool. Vintage tribute

[@giandeguzman6402]

Please do! Such a classic song I bet even the teachers will dance to it

[@maxeyre2024]

I’m 2022…def will play this song.

[@celticlull]

Love this movie! The best soundtrack, loved New Wave music from the 1980s. I was born in 1960, so glad I grew up in the 80's. The best movies: Urban Cowboy - 1980 Risky Business - 1983 Trading Places - 1983 St. Elmo's Fire - 1985; 3 actors from The Breakfast Club - Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson Weird Science - 1985 Top Gun - 1986 Ferris Bueller's Day Off - 1986 Cocktail - 1988 So many more great movies.

[@kart44]

Isnt it fantastic we are the last generation to reminisce our interaction with others instead of looking at a phone.

[@Asian_Kid]

The acting in this movie *actually* seemed convincing. The lines didn't seem scripted or forced like a lot of movies do; Even Leonardo Dicaprio's acting doesn't seem realistic.

[@kls7337]

This movie was so true to those of us in school during the 80's. It can never be remade.

[@MarkusBerner]

The 80th are the best of music 🎤
