I decided to reach deep into the 80s vault for my first selection of the week... True this film has become played-out, however, it certainly deserves those television re-broadcasts since it was indeed a major classic....
Thanks to Amazon.com
for the following:
Personal Note:
I've probably watched "the Breakfast Club" about 100 xs between the cable and the regular networks broadcast of the film, however, it never loses its allure to me (except of course what gets losts is Judd Nelson's character (John Bender) infamous "soliloquy" sequence which really helped punctuate the movie....
Rarely does one movie transcends such higher levels that takes place strictly in one setting prominently throughout the film, however, when you have quite the ensemble, then you're inevitably going to achieve such greatness.. The "Brat Pack" was in high form all throughout.... I just loved how all those stereotypes pretty much coexisted during the film and how each and every one of their characters evolved effectivly....You wanted to know that in fact that the characters interacted with each other after serving their Saturday in suspension, that they were able to give-up their respective "cliques" and become true friends....
Of course...it comes down to the casting of Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall, and of course my favorite of them all, Molly Ringwald... Whoever casted and assigned the parts to each of them was perfect since they all suited their characters well....
Obviously, I cannot overlook the writing/directing of John Hughes who wrote a film that really impacted its own time of its release, but also will never lose its meaning since everyone deals with those type of stereotypes all the time and have to learn sometime on how to all coexist in certain settings....
Lastly, the soundtrack was brilliant which complemented the film ideally....
the Breakfast Club still remains today an intregal film in our society/culture and perhaps should have been made into a sequel... Never know... it's been 20-years since its initial release (which is hard to believe), so perhaps they'll eventually film a reunion of each and every character.... It's a must-see film and one that gets better throughout the "test of time"...."Dont You Forget About Me"... Simple Minds was right.. this movie has never been forgotten and never will..... a true classic!!!!!
