The motherfuckin' Breakfast Club....Alright, this is without a doubt, THE 80's movie....hands down. Sure, there were better films, but no better 80's movie. This isn't one of those flicks that was cool as a child and you go back and watch and it's like "What the fuck was I on!?" This is a movie that I know I will appreciate until I'm dead in the ground.
Here's the scoop: Five people with totally different backgrounds, are thrown together to serve out a Saturday afternoon detention. You have the geek, the jock, little miss popular, the goin' nowhere tech head, and a fuckin' loon (Sounds like an season of the Real World). Now they're each in for their own shit. The sporto taped some dude's ass cheeks together. The dork brought a flare gun to school and it went off in his locker. Miss Priss skipped class. The Techie pulled a fire alarm. And the loon had nothing better to do (which still weirds me out to this day).
Now, the tech head is just plain trouble. Detention is nothing new. He's been down that road and doesn't give a goddamn what the principal thinks, he's just makin' a day out of being in detention. So, he starts shit with the others. And through this, somehow, everyone ends up friends in the end.
I absolutely love this movie. I mean, it's got a classic cast who all perform their roles with uttmost perfection. The writting is Hughes best work to date, and I really don't see him ever writing anything better than this movie. And yah know something? It was this flick that caused me to have my very first wet dream. That's right. Me and Molly Ringwald, in a tent, doin' what at that time I thought was unthinkable. I had to fight Judd Nelson for her too. What can I say...it was that "up the skirt" beaver shot that did it.JOHN HUGHES!!! WHY DO YOU NOW MAKE SHITTY FUCKIN' KID MOVIES!!??? (though, Baby's Day Out was pretty fresh...)
