*THE BREAKFAST CLUB* (1985) | First Time Watching | Movie Reaction

[@gelfling3077]

I was born in 1977 so I've seen this movie a billion times, but the coolest time was in grad school for social work. The professor didn't tell us which movie we were watching, just that it was "a case study of a group therapy session." Then she turned on The Breakfast Club. It was the perfect example for the class.

[@lucy_76]

That professor was awesome for doing that, one of my professors had us break down and explore the song Hotel California, very fun assignment.

[@reginafallangie2867]

‘77 baby here too! So glad to b part of the last gen to not have cell phones (& video evidence) get in the way of us having fun.

[@giyuutomioka6974]

​@@reginafallangie2867hm interesting. What was it like in the 70s? I was born in early 2000s, and i honestly think the late 70s to late 90s was probably much better than it is now.

[@descendientesfan3624]

I don't know the 70's, I was born on 1981 but gotta tell you that at least for me it was easier. Maps, yellow pages, VHS, cassettes, walkman, music. Many (not all) of the music & movies actually were done to give a message not for just getting money I miss those years

[@blueroninstudios]

Not a typical teen movie, probably one of the most REAL movies featuring adults (playing teens) and left an indelible impact on every kid who saw it.

[@Jps0412]

Anthony Michael Hall was the only actor that was not a legal adult in this movie when it was filmed.

[@spriken]

@@Jps0412 Molly Ringwald was born February 18, 1968, and Anthony Michael Hall was born April 14, 1968, so both were 17.

[@orchidwave2574]

My 2 favorite moments are about Allison...First when she so hesitantly decides to confide in Andrew that the big thing that her parents do to her is 'they ignore me...' Despite having the opposite problem (a father who so forcefully imposes himself on Andrew's entire life) - Andrew obviously understands that the opposite extreme, parental indifference, is just as messed up as having pushy demanding micromanaging parents. Second, during Allison's makeover...surely a common bonding moment with cliquey girly girls but foreign to outcast Allison...Allison is honestly bewildered by Clair's genuine kindness and has to ask 'Why are you being so nice to me?'...and Clair pauses as if she's not even sure herself...and then answers in an almost nervous laugh 'Because you're letting me...' As in...really, there's nothing complicated. If you let your walls and defenses down occasionally, sometimes a little kindness will come in.

[@thedefinitionisthis]

At face value, it does kinda seem that Allison "sells out" by getting the makeover, but I gotta admit that I liked Judd Nelson's response to the scene. When Allison asks: "Why are you being so nice to me?"... Claire responds: "Because you're letting me." Judd Nelson in an interview, pointed out that it wasn't about the makeover itself; it was about Allison doing something for Claire by just, as you put it, letting her walls and defenses down.

[@Lookatmeshine]

​​​@@thedefinitionisthis I also think it represents that she's allowing herself to be seen. She feels invisible and she dresses in a way that matches that feeling, hides behind her hair, dark clothes, quiet and while that might be a style she genuinely loves it's also just "safe" as it reinforces what she knows. The makeover allowed her to be seen fully, for people to be able to fully look her in the eyes, and for her to look in theirs and see that they actually care about her.

[@reginafallangie2867]

In case no one commented, Molly Ringwold & Anthony Michael Hall were the only teenagers when this was filmed. The rest were in their 20s. Fun fact AMH had a growth spurt during filming & ended up taller than Judd Nelson. U can really see it in the scene where they’re dance/walking together. AMH played the scrawny “geek” in a bunch of movies, but hit 6’1 around this time. Great reaction!

[@RoGueNavy]

John Hughes was such a brilliant filmmaker. He treated kids like actual people, and never patronized them.

[@jons.105]

I saw this in the theater--on opening day!--and the packed audience applauded at the end.

[@lucy_76]

I wasn't lucky enough to see it in theaters back then but my husband (knowing it's one of my favorite movies) surprised me with tickets when it was briefly brought back for the 30th anniversary. Loved it even more seeing in on the big screen.

@@aparnay6391 yeah. And back in high school and even in my house, I barely felt free. Granted, I ran in the halls of my school basically every day. But I never committed any sort of crimes.

I was genuinely shocked. But man, I wish I had john benders sense of real freedom. Just doing literally whatever you want because you can. I wish I could have that.

Less Than Zero, St. Elmo's Fire, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, Oxford Blues, Class, Weird Science, The Outsiders, About Last Night, The Pick-up Artist, One Crazy Summer, Young Guns, etc are some of the "Brat Pack" movies we all loved in the 80's...the members of the brat pack included Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Jami Gertz, Robert Downey Jr, James Spader, Keifer Sutherland, John Cusack, John Cryer, Mathew Broderick, and a few others

[@machtnichtsseimann]

IMHO: "The Breakfast Club" is an obvious iconic classic, but "Less Than Zero" deserves to be mentioned on a similar level. It seems to be forgotten and simply overlooked. High-five to you for listing it first here.

[@takenyabolton3652]

The actor who played John did an outstanding job. The fear, pain, frustration, submissiveness, and the attempt to hide it all behind his image - those are difficult to fake but he managed it. It's actually a little scary (and slightly concerning) how well he's able to play the part of an abused teen.

[@dyanad1]

The wrestler is Emilio Esteves is Charlie Sheen's brother. The guy in the trench coat is Judd Nelson and he was part of the "brat pack".

[@MichaelLesesne]

Appreciate you asking if everyone is okay. I realized not too long ago that there are days when I’m so focused, I literally don’t speak to another human being. That can’t be good. So, when I catch myself being a hermit, I get up and get out and socialize even with strangers if I must.

[@LaBlueStateGirl]

I graduated from high school only a few years before this movie came out and, yes it does feel mostly accurate to the times. One thing that stands out is hoe rare sushi was back then, so bringing it for school lunch in a bento box for a detention lunch that was supposed to be taking place in 1984 was absolutely insane! My school had a lot of very rich kids, but no one brought sushi for lunch. It really did ser her apart as the "princess" in this movie. I had a lot of trouble with the way women and minorities were treated in the John Hughes teen movies back in the 80s, but then I was in a male dominated career and I was always fighting for my right to even exist. It made look at these films with the values that my Mom taught me. It's one thing for a woman to be attracted to a "bad boy, " it's get another to have her be attracted to one that treats her badly as a foundation for a relationship. It wasn't in this movie, but he's also used mistaken identity sex as something triumphant for one of the parties. Even in the 80s, I saw that as rapey.

[@veroq774]

I agree with others, Sixteen Candles should be another 80s movie to watch...or Pretty in Pink - both with Molly. I've watched this movie since I was young, and it's always a rollercoaster of emotions. I'm glad they discussed real issues some teens go through

[@gregkirby9059]

[@paramitch]

I'd pick Pretty in Pink. 16 Candles is seriously one long "Yikes." It does not age well.

[@gerstelb]

The dark-haired actress is Ally Sheedy. She started out in the Brat Pack, and has been doing a lot of independent/art films since the late 90s. You might recognize her from WarGames if you saw that. 11:21 The janitor is played by a great character actor, John Kapelos. He’s been in everything from “Roxanne” (Steve Martin’s modern remake of Cyrano de Bergerac) to “The Shape of Water.”

11:15 - Bender doesn't think Claire is fat, but he knows that calling her fat will be a trigger.

[@Serai3]

There was a bit of a controversy around the rating for this film. We felt it was ridiculous that a film made about teenagers for teenagers would receive a rating that would restrict their ability to see it based on the use of words those same kids used every day. The willful rejection of reality was maddening.

I forgot how much I loved this movie! Watching you react to it feels like watching it with a friend lmao. Also, I would love to recommend a musical (since I've been loving your reactions to musicals so so much) called The Sapphires. It's an Australian movie musical set in 1968 about a group of young Aboriginal Australian women who are discovered by a talent scout; and they end up in Vietnam singing for the American soldiers. The music is phenomenal. Not only is it an amazing musical, but it educates people on some Aboriginal history. Oh, and it's also based on a true story! Highly, highly recommend!

I saw the movie because of Emilio Estevez but left with a mad crush on Judd Nelson (portraying John Bender). I saw the movie on TV, so it was probably 1986 or 1987.

Molly and I are the same age . I was starting my junior yr & saw this the night of it’s release. Like we did ALL John Hughes movies .. opening night of All of his movies the Theater was packed full. Highly anticipated films for my friends and generation . They were written for us and about us . He understood us . Nobody else did, it felt like . He passed @ 51 yrs old from a heart attack just a few yrs after this movie was made . Imagine the films he would’ve made for us up til present day had he not passed .

[@shanehebert396]

I always thought Bender spent a bit of time in Saturday detention (you can tell at various parts that Bender seems to be familiar with detention and the procedures). When he racks up more days, he's OK with it because being in detention is better than his home life. At least in detention all day on a Saturday (combined with all the regular school days during the week), he's away from his dad which means less abuse.

[@MagickSprite]

I saw this in the theater when I was in middle school. It was a really popular, and there were so many cliques in school formed around the characters. A few cliques even scouted for certain characters to complete the group or would kick some out if the group wasn't balanced, such as there were too many "Claires" or too many "Andrews".

My favorite Stephen Sondheim stage musical is Anyone Can Whistle. And the point of it is that no, there's no way to teach someone how to whistle. You either can or your can't, so no, Anyone Can't Whistle. It's a weird show. But just thought you'd appreciate the title song. Search for "Anyone Can Whistle".

One of my fav Brat Pack films. Brat Pack is a nickname given to a group of young actors who frequently appeared together in teen-oriented coming-of-age films in the 1980s. Like Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Emilio Estevez, Demi Moore, Rob Lowe, Judd Nelson, Andrew McCarthy, and Ally Sheedy. 5 which r in this film. I would be doing everything they did, if I were there and I did, lol. I had crush on Judd, dont know what grl wasnt. Everyone had weed in the 70s and 80s just not many knew or wasnt willing to say. Teachers could do anything back then also, but I was out of school a while by the time this came out. Carl the janitor is the man. Brian reading his paper at the end says it all.

I was in highschool in the 70s. This was tame compared to school then. No one ever asked if I was okay in school, I missed a month at a time, feel asleep in class, so made good grades. I was being so tortured at home by my mother emotionally and physically... But that kind of thing everyone just looked away, not wanting to get involved. Tried to unalive myself, it was torture. So yea... Things were way more dangerous in school then. And about becoming your parents...? It's a choice. I got married and had 3 phenomenal girls, and we had a blast. We still do. John Hughes is a great story teller of highschool in that time.

[@veggiesarefruits]

I'm actually gonna answer your question, based on the fact that I actually met my best friend in the world, in detention: If I absolutely couldn't leave the room, I'd be talking/cracking jokes. I got detention (that day) for refusing to stop talking & cracking jokes in class. If everyone there was boring and didn't want to talk, I'd be writing poetry and songs. I know this isn't a thing now because everyone is on their phones all the time at school, but when I was growing up, I used to write music and poetry. If the teacher took my notebook away for not listening, I'd just write and draw all over my hands and arms. It was really common to see students with words and pictures all over their arms when I was coming up. We were creative. We literally created our own entertainment because it wasn't created for us and constantly available through a hand-held device. We drew, wrote, talked, and laughed. We did it in class, and we did it in detention.

Everybody remembers this movie soundtrack for "Don't You Forget About Me", by Simple Minds. And that IS an epic song. But for me, "Fire in the Twilight" is the true crowning jewel of the movie.

[@lucy_76]

One of my favorite movies of all time. It was one of 2 that I played while I was in labor waiting on the process. The nurses loved coming in my room because I was passing the time with movies and music, trying to keep my mind occupied. Yes John was my crush from this back in the day but as I got older I grew to appreciate the Brians of the world so much more, his character was more complex than first impressions. He aged quite well too, time was much kinder to that actor than some of the others. New to the channel, wanted to add another First Time Watching channel to my list, would love to see you cover movies that aren't done by other channels. Ghost Dog is a great watch, if you haven't already seen it, as well as Session 9, not at all like this movie but ones I can't seem to find people reacting to.

[@AlyssaShannon-u1i]

This is such a great movie. Has all the elements to make you laugh, and has somewhat of a feel-good ending. But at the same time, when you think a little more about it, the ending is so sad. Think about it, the characters developed relationships with each other. But at school on Monday, they will be going back to their clicks, ignoring each other, acting like none of them exists.

[@ladygothic7699]

I like the character breakdowns that people do. Bender is what they all needed. Molly( Claire ) and “ Brian were actually 16 when they did this movie. “Andy” was 23, “Ally” was about 21 and yes Bender ( the cute one) was the oldest at 27.

He also played the inept Deputy Police Chief Dwayne T. Robinson in the movie Die Hard The same high school was used in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Sometimes our staff would make sure we didn't get on the bus or anything, but once I could drive, there wasn't much they could do about it. I skipped it a lot of school and then detentions as a result. However, we also had "ISS" or In-School Suspension where you had to sit in a room during the school day and there was not to be any interactions with other students outside of ISS. I had it a few times, but I actually didn't mind it. I even met a cute girl in there once (she was 2 grades above me).

That’s what I see hear and feel from your reactions! Thank you Sir! From the heart!

The one thing I don’t like is how Claire is treated in this movie.

Breakfast club was two years after my graduation and summed up high school life, if a bit overly dramatic at times. The movie is rated PG and featured several actors/actresses that would be part of a defining cast over the course of several movies. The soundtrack was also a game changer of the music scene. great movie selection and great reaction as always. And just as with the character Brian, I was grounded for a B, was beaten for C. and a never managed straight A's even once... so report cards were never a fun time at my house.

[@gerryhatrick6678]

Same age is you, but my folks were opposite. I had A's and they didn't care. They never looked at a report card or cared if I went to school or not....They didn't care period.

The reason Bender spends so much time in detention is because he hates being at home with his abusive father. He made fun of everyone's lunch because he didn't have anything to eat himself. And he was scared of the detention teacher when he threatening him because he reminded him of his father at home.

He didnt say she was fat, he said she had a fat girl's name.

[@Itzezyyyy]

This makes me so happy, one of my favorite movies ever

[@katieturner6685]

I rewatched this movie so many times ❤❤❤❤ really spoke to me as a 16 year old 😢

[@janethernandez724]

Great reaction, this movie made me laugh all over again, only through the funny scenes. Sixteen Candles is another one with Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall, when they were a bit younger than when you watched them in this movie; both of them were good in that movie for their respective roles. I enjoyed this movie reaction! Peace. ☮

Generation X beloved masterpiece. And that's John F**king Hughes.

I used to have Saturday detention and when you asked what would I do for 8 hours.....I used to stare at the Panels on the ceiling!!! I used the Inflation calculator to see what 31k a year in 1985 was equivalent to today. Its 91k.

[@zachharris3040]

It's funny, a lot of people consider this the worst makeover in movie history because the weird girl actually looked pretty good in the dark clothing and the makeup she had on. Yet, her makeover didn't do her complexion any favors. Some people have done videos on why it doesn't work, and I have to agree, I liked her better before.

[@Rakerong]

I always thought of the makeover being more of an 'overall package' type deal. Like getting rid of the heavy coat, making the hair more tame and pushed back so it reveals more of her face, etc. The idea was probably making her more approachable rather than makeup (And I think the makeup Claire did on Alison was to tone down what she originally had) I personally liked her original look better, but I like to believe this was more Andrew's taste in looks so it worked.

[@nikired180]

I was waiting for this one!! Ever since watching you Pitch Perfect reaction. I first watched this movie as a teenager and it honestly made me feel less alone and weird for the real shit I was going through while also trying to get an education.

[@AdoseofAlana_]

8:09 I would be doing word seek puzzles and trying to sneak on some headphones 😂😂

[@Raven_Shade9]

I need you to react to more Molly Ringwald movies. Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles mostly!

[@marybrown6128]

It’s not because he’s a bad boy, it’s because he’s cute. But yes, I had a crush.

[@Sbj24]

Our choir teacher straight up let us watch this in class *unedited* back in middle school 😅 that was in 1996

[@Whistler4u]

It's not about "the hair and skin coming off" It's about the embarrassment.

[@christopherfarmer9178]

I feel like I'm the weird girl sometimes. She did that just to make everybody unconfutable. Not because she liked the sandwich LOL.

[@mostlyharmless1]

Why is it so brilliant watching yall babies watch our movies from the 80's? Great commentary from a borderline Zoomer/Milennial. Earned a sub bro!

[@RBoogie-32123]

The Mighty Duck man.....Charlie Sheens brother lol, Emilio Estevez

[@chibisphere]

8:00 i know what, had ISS detention that lasted all day in school several times. I used to make games on my ti-83 calculator lol....

[@worknplaya4118]

8:00 In my second detention in the early ‘80s I brought a couple of clear dense-rubber ‘super balls’ in my pocket. About an hour in I showed them to the other kids and slammed them on the floor and they bounced everywhere and destroyed half the room. The teacher came in and beat my hands with a big ruler. 🤣😂
