I just bought a VHS copy at Wal-Mart for $6.49. This is still one of my top ten favorite movies of all time. Some thoughts.
  • Then I thought Ally Sheedy was the hottie, now I think it's Molly Ringwald
  • Part of the origin of my username came from this film
  • I think it has one of the best life like depictions of people smokin weed in film

Estevez was the bomb back then... I never could've gotten myself a jock back in jr. high/high schoool...and they usually were the better looking guys...

::sigh:: I know, I know...I'm being so superficial...but I don't give a damn...

Hey, hey, hey ,hey
Ohhh...

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby


Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on


Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby


Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me


Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down


Will you recognise me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down


Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ohhhh.....


Don't you try to pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security


Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby


Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me


As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away


Or will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on - call my name
Will you all my name?


I say :
La la la...

Vernon: You just bought one more right there.
Bender: Well, I'm free the Saturday after that. Beyond that, I'm gonna have to check my calendar.
Vernon: Good. Because its going to be filled. We'll keep going. Want another one? Say the word. Just say the word. Instead of going to prison you'll come here. Are you through?
Bender: No.
Vernon: I'm doing society a favor.
Bender: So?

Vernon: Now its eight.You stay out of this.
Brian: Excuse me, sir, its seven.
Vernon: Shut up, Peewee. You're mine, Bender.For two months, I've gotcha.

Fight Club could kick the Breakfast Club's ass. And then they'd stick it to Ringwald.

I'd prefer to rail Ally Sheedy, then spank her with that pimento loaf they threw at the statue...

Definitely a great movie. They've been showing it on AMC a lot the past few weeks, though this weekend was a marathon of some sort(80's weekend). It was showing at the Inwood theatre as the midnight special three weeks ago, my friends and I went to see it. I hadn't gotten the chance to see it on the big screen before.

Coincidentally, the Futurama episode where Fry hides his lucky seven leaf clover in his album of The Breakfast Club soundtrack is on right now....

And I still love Ally Sheedy.

Ha, and they played "Don't You Forget About Me" by Simple Minds at the end of the episode. That song has been stuck in my head ever since I saw it in theatres...

Did kids really act like that in high school during the eighties? Or was it just theatrical dramatization?

My favorite episodes of both Family Guy and Futurama were homages to The Breakfast Club and both played "Don't You Forget About Me" at the end of the episodes.


And that's terrible.

They're stereotypes(and intentionally so), but yeah, I'd say Breakfast Club is about as accurate a depiction of high school as I've seen in American film.

Yeah, I was going to say that, but really, the film had to end that way to make the point it was trying to make.

Yeah, I agree. It was, in my mind, the only unrealistic element, but, in reality, it's what made the movie so good.

I think it would have been cool if Brian pulled out a spare flare gun and then killed everyone at the end...

I love the scene in Not another teen movie where it pays homage to this film!


If you're in trouble, he will save the day
He's brave and he's fearless, come what may
Without him, the mission would go astray
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
Without him, life would be much grimmer
He's handsome, trim, and no one's slimmer
He will never need a Zimmer
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
More reliable than a garden Strimmer
He's never been mistaken for Yul Brynner.
He's not bald and his head doesn't glimmer
Master of the wit and the repartee
His command of space directives is uncanny
How come he's such a genius? Don't ask me
Ask Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer

I think he means the detention scene with the principal.

"Eenie meenie minie--"
"Mo?"
"Your mother was a--"
"Ho?"
