It’s time to raid Barry Manilow’s wardrobe y’all, because John Hughes’ iconic 80s coming-of-age masterpiece THE BREAKFAST CLUB is spending some time in movie-lover detention on Sunday, September 10.

One of, if not the best “high school” movies ever made stars brat-packers Anthony Michael Hall, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy, Molly Ringwald and Judd Nelson as (respectively) a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal who are detained on a Saturday afternoon in the library at Shermer High School. Throughout the course of the day, the group – who all belong to very different “cliques” – talk, dance, eat lunch, talk some more, play with makeup, annoy their principal, talk some more, smoke whatever it is that’s in Johnson’s pants, run through the hallways, share secrets, and find themselves more open, vulnerable, and honest with each other than they have with anyone else they’ve ever met.

“Hughes has a wonderful knack for communicating the feelings of teenagers, as well as an obvious rapport with his exceptional cast – who deserve top grades.” (New York Daily News)

“The late John Hughes’ finest hour, ‘The Breakfast Club’ was the best of the so-called “Brat Pack” features as well as a seminal film for many who came of age in the 1980s.” (Film Frenzy)

“John Hughes’s 1985 film seems meant to explain 80s youngsters to yesterday’s youth, and comes to the comforting conclusion that they’re just as alienated, idealistic, and vulnerable as the baby boomers of the 1960s.” (Chicago Reader)
