The best John Hughes film ever - after Ferris Bueller, of course

Rating: Null/10 (16 July 2000)

This you should have seen. If you die without knowing "The Breakfast Club", that is really sad. It is what makes the eigthies so special: the brat pack movie.
"The Breakfast Club" is the absolute king of that genre. No one brought the mind of a few teenagers so close to you than John Hughes did. You can watch five completely different teens - the weirdo, the nerd, the macho, the sporty and the cool but misunderstood girl - spending a Saturday at school, for detention. The principal is ten times as worse as Mr. Rooney from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", but let's ignore that and concentrate on the wiz kids.
Emilio Estevez has the role of his life playing the sporty one. Antony Michael Hall is great as the quiet brainiac and Molly Ringwald plays at her absolute best. Although she made a good appearance, I think Ally Sheedy did a better job in "WarGames". And Judd Nelson... well he's just tough. That's all.
So, people. They just don't make movies like this anymore...
