Next Film: ??????

10/10 This is probably the icon of the perfect 80s movie. It will prove timeless and live on forever.

At the end of the day, this movie a bunch of teenagers whining on a saturday. That said, it has some decent entertainment value.

7.25/10

That sums it up pretty well.
But since they also start to dance for no good reason I'm going to give this movie 6.5/10.

There is an important lesson to learn from this movie, though: The brainy guy doesn't get the girl.
I wish I had known that earlier.

This one reminds me of just how much the 80's blew. 3

It hurts me that that's true.

Calling The Breakfast Club a movie about whiny kids in school detention is like calling Jaws a film about a hungry fish who hits a beach, or Raiders Of The Lost Ark a movie where some guy with a whip looks for an old box. TBC is a true 80s Cinematic Classic (a decade I personally love regarding most things), something which was as well written as it was directed (kudos to John freaking Hughes, one of the most influential directors of the time), not to mention a great cast of semi-unknowns who all shot to Brat Pack status thereafter. A funny, real life, comedy that had as much heart as it did laughs. A film Id bet people today would love now watching it for the first time, as I would watching it for my 10th. Cant say too much negative about this one, its easily one of Hughes’ best films, and one of the best comedies overall of its decade.

The Breakfast Club – 9 / 10

Which is sad when you think about it.

The brainy guy has to get the success object $ first.

I like this movie a lot, you can oversimplify anything to make it look bad, but at its heart this is an original idea that is sappy but still far more intelligent than people give it credit for.

It is more a coming of age film than a comedy and there is a reason that it still stands as a classic today. I will be the first to admit that the 80's was a sad time for music and movies but this was certainly a bright spot. It may not be Fast Times at Ridgemont High, but it is still a solid teen dramedy.

8 out of 10

Not really, as TBC is a really Great film.

It suffers in some peoples minds because of all the dreadful movies that followed it trying to bandwagon jump.

It is one of my fun rainy Saturday afternoon watches.

The characters are fun to watch.

CURRENT HCR MEMBER RATING:

THE BREAKFAST CLUB - 7.54 / 10

(7 members rating)

What amazes me about this film is the number of references or homages I've seen made to it in other films and TV shows. Take the Simpsons "Eat My Shorts" comment to Futurama's "Bender" character. To me, that's the true essence of a quality film - flattery & imitation and all that jazz.

9/10

classic, so the 3 someone put won't cut it. Not a fav I mine either though.

7.5/10

Even when I was younger I thought it was a good film.

7.5 out of 10
