Director: John Hughes
One of the most iconic movies of the eighties, The Breakfast Club is truly one of the most refreshing movies you will ever watch.
Filled to the brim with light-hearted comedy this film will never cease to make you laugh no matter how many times you watch it.
Taking place in a stereotypical high school with the stereotypical social classes that can be found in all schools even to this day. This movie tells the story of how five students belonging to different social circles found friendship and love in the strangest of places.
On a crisp Saturday evening five students namely Claire Standish (Molly Ringwald) who is the most popular girl in the school, Andrew Clark (Emilio Estevez) a state level wrestler, Brian Johnson (Anthony Michael Hall) a nerdy student, Allison Reynolds (Ally Sheedy) a reclusive outcast and John Bender (Judd Nelson) rebel and a bad boy. Each student has done something bad to deserve detention except Allison who just shows up because she had nothing better to do.What follows is an hour and a half of light hearted jokes and great bonding moments for all of these different yet alike students who grow closer due to typical problems faced by teenagers, Peer pressure, Abuse and neglect.
This movie will emotionally challenge you as it explores deep into each of the students' lives as they mention their goals and their deepest fears. One of the most funniest moments among many is when all of the students smoke weed in the library (Which as we all know really helps in bonding). Perhaps the best thing about this movie is the acting done by Judd Nelson as he truly lives up to his character with his sassy dialogues and daredevil attitude and I know I say this too often but it remains one of the best on screen performances I have ever seen.
Even 31 years after its release, The Breakfast Club remains a must watch.
