The Breakfast Club is one of the most beloved high school films of all time and also one of the most definitive movies from the 1980’s. The director, John Hughes, put out a series of iconic films in the 1980’s including Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller’s Day off (1986), Pretty in Pink (1986) and Weird Science (1985). The Breakfast club is a story about five kids doing detention on a Saturday. The kids taunt and confront each other and eventually over the course of the film develop some empathy for each other and emerge from the day of detention with new friendships. At the time, this movie was a hit sensation for teens during the 80’s and captures the era quite well.
