The Breakfast Club

Don’t You Forget About Me

On March 24, 1984, a princess, an athlete, a brain, a criminal and a basket case all met for Saturday detention.

They were strangers, but by the end of the day they all realized that EACH ONE of us is a princess, an athlete, a brain, a criminal and a basket case. Does that answer your question Mr. Vernon? Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club....


Another Classic from the best 80’s film director and producer John Hughes.

I am the same age as those kids.

As I’ve gotten older, my attitude toward them is this: “Boo fricking hoo. Your parents are mean. Get over it.”*



*Bender is the only one who really has a legitimate gripe because his dad beats him and his mother.

Trivia question:

How many of the main cast of The Breakfast Club made guest appearances in Psych?

How was Bender grunge before there was a grunge?

I was born after this movie was released so I had ever seen it on TV. For years I believed the “Eat my shorts” line was a tv edit for “Eat my shite,” until I watched it on a streaming service and realized it wasn’t.

Hated Bender. It was the typical, "You can be a frickup and shitty to everyone, but if you are misunderstood and handsome, you get the girl."

All pretty much the same when I was in high school as they were in this movie just different styles and music. Well expect for the goths but they never change

Now they would all be eligible to join AARP.

I like the movie a lot but I'm pretty iffy about Emilio as the jock and Molly as the pretty popular one. I have to suspend some disbelief. The talent at that school must've been shitty, in multiple ways
