*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.

[@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!

[@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.

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

[@giyuutomioka6974]

@@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. The closest to a crime was just unintentionally breaking a window but I was running with anger due to a student annoying Me despite my anger issues I literally burst through the door and I was going too fast I unintentionally braced myself at the door and made the window fracture. 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.

[@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.

[@bea3ce687]

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

It feels like the best movies have that roller coaster affect. One second you're laughing and in the moment and the next you're getting a raw, sobering scene.

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".

[@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.

[@amehayami934]

Adults in our time has always been like that. We often hear "if you don't stop crying I'm going to give something to cry about"

[@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.”

The "black stuff" is the makeup & the dark clothes that she was wearing. Claire was helping her to show off her beauty. ❤

[@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.

[@avengersfan949]

If I was in a classroom or library for 8 hours straight, without my phone, I would honestly just start reading books.

70s kid. I know this movie word for word. 80s classic. Every girl loved Judd Nelson

[@RockinLocks4u]

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.

[@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.

[@pippalouise8906]

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!

[@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]

agreed

[@paramitch]

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

[@shwicaz]

I didn't have a crush on 'the bad boy'. I loved 'the wrestler', Emilio Estevez. Growing up in the 80's was amazing for films like this.

[@FiresCollide]

Same! Bender always grossed me out. I didn't have the vocabulary to explain what he was doing to Claire, but I knew it creeped me out.

[@tejo29se]

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.

[@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.

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".

[@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.

[@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.

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.

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).

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 was only 25 in 84, 26 when the movie hit theaters ❤

I would be graffiting on everything. And yes I was in detention and every dest I sat at I drew all over it. Give a delinquent artist detention there will be art. Lol

[@CherylHughes-z8d]

I'd be drawing, writing and singing 😉👍

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.

John Hughes was the man, He directed 8 movies and 6 of them are classics or a least pretty damn close. Sixteen Candles, Weird Science, The Breakfast Club, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Ferris Buellers Day Off and Uncle Buck. His last two directed movies were his weakest but She's Having a Baby and Curly Sue are still decent. Of course, he wrote a bunch of great movies that he didn't direct like Vacation, Home Alone, The Great Outdoors, Some Kind of Wonderful, Pretty in Pink and so on. Huge fan and The Breakfast Club is in my top 5 favorite movies in general.

I cry every time such an amazing movie

[@snoodlegirl1794]

Whistle is from movie. Bridge over river kwai. Must see movie

I would also suggest "St. Elmo's Fire" now that you've seen this. It has all the same cast except for Molly and the kid that played Brian. Its a college coming of age and realizing you are an adult not a kid. Enjoy watching your reactions.

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.

A "Brownie hound" is a person who goes after 'lil girls' - A 'Brownie' is a small/young girl scout; like a cub scout is for boys. He took the "doobage" out of his pants, that's why they were down when he got up.
