Don't You (Forget To Watch This)

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2020)

I am glad that I watched this movie first when I was a teenager around the age of 18. Because I personally think that you can deeply understand the characters of the five students better when you are about the same age as them. John Hughes 80s classic delivers in a saturday detention important messages.
"The Breakfast Club" is about the influence of your peer group and your parents but also about the question: Who am I?. Those topics are still relevant making the movie a timeless classic. The drama gets on its top when it comes to the well written dialogues and the good improvisations from the actors. This movie was able to make me shed tears.
Apart from the strong story, the cinemtagrophy is very unique. There are plenty of scenes which are so memorable they cannot be forgotten so easily. Also memorable is the setting and the perfect fitting track "Dont You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds which has become a hit shortly after the release of the film.
The cast played their role impressively good. All five teenage kids harmonized well together. But the best roles in my taste was Anthony Michael Hall as the geek Brian Johnson and Judd Nelson as the rebellious John Bender.
"The Breakfast Club" (1985) gets from me 9.5 out of 10 points. I love the 80s.
