"Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?"

During the decade of the 80s John Hughes certainly had his share of classic teen flicks. Among some of his classic was Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Sixteen Candles and of course The Breakfast Club. With The Breakfast Club, writer/director Hughes created an essential 1980s teen film.

Teen angst has never been captured so perfectly. Brilliant dialog, sharp performances and real characters that sum up certain social identities to perfection. Unfortunately movies of such genre that are being currently released are missing all of the essentials that this movie contains. The kids today are just given crap to watch and try and identify with. Poor bastards.

Great classic teen film...

This is probably the oldest film aimed at teenagers as well as adults; like before all of the American Pie films, Juno, Knocked Up etc. The Breakfast Club is a very funny film that does teach a lot about people and their differences regarding appearance but shows how... read more

Description: It's the weekend, and five students have weekend detention. There's a jock, a princess, a misfit, a nerd, and a lout. Not much in common, except for having to give up their day, sit in the school library, and write an essay for the principal. Being from such widely different backgrounds and having such completely different personaliti ... (more)

Films and the critics who hate them (732 movies items)

"Mr. Hughes, having thought up the characters and simply flung them together, should have left well enough alone. - Janet Maslin, New York Times Does director John Hughes really believe, as he writes here, that 'when you grow up, your heart dies.' It may. But not unless the brain has already started to rot with films like this. - Variety Staff, Variety"

The 30 Best Teen Movies of the Past 30 Years (30 movies items)

" 1985 was the year for teen movies so it's only right the quintessential example was released then. Hughes' signature film included all his favorite touches: pop songs, montages, and freeze-framing the final shot. 1985 runners-up: Back to the Future, Weird Science, Teen Wolf, The Goonies"
