Bored? Let's Rent Breakfast Club.

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2009)

I think it was Peter Buck who said, "If you were a teenager in the 70's, you listened to Aerosmith." Well, if you were a teenager in the 80's, you watched The Breakfast Club. A lot.
Didn't matter if you were cool or dorky or somewhere in between. If you were bored on some dull night in 1986 or 1987, you went to the video store and rented The Breakfast Club. It was almost like a record. You could just put it on and then talk on the phone or read a magazine and it would just play in the background.
This movie was just instantly woven into the pop culture fabric of the mid-80's. You didn't love it or hate it...it was just always on at someone's house. And you knew every line.
And to this day you still can't hear Don't You Forget About Me on the radio and think of anything else.
Thanks, John Hughes. See you next Saturday.
