The Breakfast Club (1985)

Starring Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall
Written and Directed by John Hughes

Five teens spend a Saturday afternoon in the library of their high school. They are not there by choice. It is punishment. They arrive as five strangers but leave as friends. They, one of them in particular, butt heads with Vernon, the teacher who is responsible for keeping an eye on them.

I have a lot of history with this movie. It was the first R rated movie that I saw in the movie theater, but not the first one I saw. I think that honor goes to Conan the Barbarian. This movie came out a month before my 15th birthday. My mother took me and my brother to see it. I have seen it a number of times since then. I don't love it. I like it. It has it's moments but there are also some scenes that feel forced.

He meets Toni (Lizabeth Scott), a woman fresh out of prison, and looks up an old acquaintance Walter O'Neil (Kirk Douglas) who is now the district attorney. He soon discovers that his old friends, including Martha Ivers (Barbara Stanwyck), the woman with whom he had planned to run away when they were teens, aren't too happy to see him.

Thoughts

All three of the features can be found online for free.

They are all fun to watch. If I have any complaint it is that I wish they were longer, provided more examples, and were presented a little more slowly.
