Who likes the breakfast club?

Question

The movie, because I was watching CSI and I saw one of the breakfast club members except all grown up and with a beard! I got nostalgic so please tell me if you love it as well?

Answer 1

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Breakfast Club! It makes you laugh, it always makes me cry (or at the very least, get teary eyed), and Judd Nelson was freakin HOTT back in the day! There is a reason it has had such a widespread effect. It hits right to the core of the high school experience, something most of us can relate to.

Answer 2

Wowww i love this movie...isnt this film the source of all the Bart Simpson wiseguy comments? Eat my shorts etc? AND they based principal skinner's look on the principal of the movie (vernon)

I love this film...and i would also like to admit that i have a huge crush on Judd Nelson

Answer 3

Arent' they doing a sequel? They need to do one of this movie AND Ferris Bueller as well. How cool would it be to do a movie of a guy at work, trying to fake a way into a day off?

Answer 4

I never really liked this movie, but I've always loved Anthony Michael Hall. I can't get enough of him. I watch him on The Dead Zone on USA.

Answer 5

It is one of the best movies of all time. It had drama, comedy, a good storyline and really good acting. I remember having a crush on Ally Sheedy at the time....ahhhhh...Ally.

Answer 6

I didn't like this movie when it came out, because we had to hear that horrible song on the radio everyday for about a month and a half.
"Don't Youuuu.... "

Answer 7

That Is my absolute favorite movie in the world.

Answer 8

Legacy

The film's theme music "Don't You (Forget About Me)" was a U.S. and UK top-selling hit for Simple Minds, hitting #1 in the U.S. in 1985.

* Yellowcard performed a live version of the theme at the 2005 MTV Movie Awards during the surprise 20th anniversary reunion of the cast.

The iconic status of The Breakfast Club has resulted in numerous references in subsequent film and television:

* The comedy Not Another Teen Movie features a number of references to The Breakfast Club and its actors:
o Most significantly, the film features a scene parodying the exchange where Vernon repeatedly increases Bender's detention. The scene is set in a replica of the library where most of The Breakfast Club takes place and even features Paul Gleason reprising his role as Vernon.
o The students attend John Hughes High School and eat in the Anthony Michael Dining Hall.
o Ringwald makes a cameo in the movie.
o The original theme song for The Breakfast Club, "Don't You (Forget About Me)", plays during the closing credits.
* A Saturday detention episode of the British children's drama Grange Hill also bears a striking resemblance to scenes from the movie, even including the quip "Welcome to the Breakfast Club...!"
* A first-season episode of Dawson's Creek entitled "Detention" is a takeoff of the movie.
* In Degrassi: The Next Generation, the third season episode "Take On Me" borrows from the film.
* The poster art for the Breakfast Club was parodied in the poster and video box art of the 1980's horror film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2.
* The Family Guy episode "Let's Go to the Hop" references the film: Peter Griffin walks in on a group of cereal mascots and exclaims, "Holy crap, it's the Breakfast Club!" Tony the Tiger's line parodies a quote from the movie. "You know what I got for Christmas? It was a banner freakin' year at the Tiger house. I got a carton of cigarettes. My old man grabbed me and says, "Hey, smoke up Tony. They're grrrrreat! Bastard." The episode's ending also parodies the ending of the film, as Peter walks across the school field and makes a victory salute similar to that of Judd Nelson's character with "Don't You (Forget About Me)" playing in the background.
* The movie is parodied in an episode of Lizzie McGuire, in which Kate, Larry, and Lizzie name themselves "The Lunch Bunch." The episode also uses the movie's theme song.
* Kevin Smith, first in his graphic novel Chasing Dogma and then in his film Dogma, has his characters the stoner duo Jay and Silent Bob attempt to visit the fictional town of Shermer, Illinois, where many of Hughes' films (including Club) were set, in order to deal marijuana. Also, Judd Nelson appears as a Sheriff in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. A scene within the graphic novel set in a high school contains some Hughes/Club references.
* A music video from the A*Teens has parodied this movie.
* In the song "Man Research (Clapper)" by the band Gorillaz, the lyrics "This is the Breakfast Club" can be heard in the beginning.
* In an early episode of the television series Friends, the cast is sitting in Monica and Rachel's apartment folding envelopes while whistling the tune used in the movie, mimicking the scene in the library.
* In the comic book series Ultimate Spider-Man, an entire issue takes place in a detention room as an homage to The Breakfast Club. Writer Brian Michael Bendis has had homages to other John Hughes movies, including Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
* In a 2002 episode of ER, many of the characters were forced into a detention (sexual harassment seminar), and fans quickly recognized the set-up as eerily related to The Breakfast Club.
* The phrase "Eat my shorts" is used to insult the principal in the film and has since been adopted by The Simpsons ' cartoon character Bart Simpson.
* In an episode of Futurama, Fry remembers putting his lucky clover in the jacket of a copy of The Breakfast Club soundtrack, claiming that it was the best movie ever made. Bender the robot is also named after the rebel character John Bender in the film.
* In the movie Go, one of the characters asks Claire if she's a virgin.
* In the Star Wars Tales series of graphic novels, The Breakfast Club was parodied as "The Rebel Club."
* An episode of As Told By Ginger in which Ginger has Saturday detention mimics scenes from The Breakfast Club.
* An episode of the G4TV show X-Play parodied the movie, except that the characters were forced to write reviews of "retro" (mid-late 80's, early 90's) video games. Character roles were performed by G4 personalities Adam Sessler (the brain), Morgan Webb (the princess), Kevin Pereira (the rebel), and Michael Leffler (the jock). The basket-case and Vernon also appeared in the episode, but the names of their actors are unknown at this point.
* In the movie Along Came Polly, Philip Seymour Hoffman's character was a child star who was only in one movie in the 80s called "Crocodile Tears." The poster shown parodies that of The Breakfast Club.



Trivia

* The opening quote are lyrics drawn from David Bowie's song "Changes."
* Emilio Estevez was originally going to play Bender, but John Hughes couldn't find someone to play Andrew Clark, so Emilio agreed to play Clark.[citation needed]
* Molly Ringwald really wanted to play Allison, but Ally Sheedy had already been promised the part.[citation needed]
* Anthony Michael Hall's mother and younger sister play his character Brian's mother and sister in the movie.
* The library in which this movie takes place was actually constructed in the gymnasium of Maine North High School specifically for the film. The school closed down in 1982, two years before filming began. The building had been used for park district purposes and the Chicago Blitz before the Illinois state police bought it, turning it into a police station, which it still is to this day.[citation needed]
* The school used in the filming of The Breakfast Club was also used for the school-based scenes in another John Hughes' film (Ferris Bueller's Day Off, which was released just a year after The Breakfast Club).[citation needed]
* The movie is a rare phenomenon at the Rotten Tomatoes website, ranking 100% in the fresh rating.
