They only met once, but it changed their lives forever.
Without doubt, John Hughes' The Breakfast Club is one of the greatest teen movies of all-time, if not the best. Without it, we might not have witnessed the phenomenal rise of the 'brat pack'; the group of actors synonymous with the teen films of the '80s.
They were five teenage students with nothing in common, faced with spending a Saturday detention together in their High School library. At 7am, they had nothing to say, but by 4pm, they had bared their souls to each other and become good friends. To the outside world they were simply the Jock, the Brain, the Criminal, the Princess, and the Kook, but to each other, they would always be the Breakfast Club.
The film's title comes from the nickname invented by students and staff for detention at the school attended by the son of one of John Hughes' friends. Thus, those who were sent to detention were designated members of "The Breakfast Club".

It's hard to explain how good this movie is, when you say it's about a group of kids in detention it really doesn't jump out at you. But it is so well done, it is your stereotypical American school with each group represented, Jocks, nerds etc. It is one of those fims that you can't appreciate how good it is until you see it i couldn't possibly give it a lower rating because it has everything. It is a classic and will always be my favourite film of all time, i managed to watch it 3 times on a flight to South Africa, thats how good it is.
The only reason...

Well i love this film i thought it was a great insperation towards me helping me with my media coursework. it is a great film and i dnt normally like some comedy's but this film made up for that it was truly great. this film is so true. we all go to school not knowing who we will be when we're older and this film like proves that if ur alone with people u neva talk to you can all turn out to be really good mates. its only when your round your own friends when you not you.
