The Breakfast Club
Directed by John Hughes
Five high school students from different walks of life endure a Saturday detention under a power-hungry principal. The disparate group includes rebel John, princess Claire, outcast Allison, brainy Brian and Andrew, the jock. Each has a chance to tell his or her story, making the others see them a little differently -- and when the day ends, they question whether school will ever be the same. From TMDB

Formally trained at The Actors Studio, Gleason had dozens of television & film credits over a lengthy career. He passed in 2006.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched The Breakfast Club with the family on kid’s request. Delightfully, achingly dated now, in a way that reminded me of how I felt watching Rebel Without A Cause for the first time. Which I now realise I did in 1995. When that film was as old as the Breakfast Club is now. Sheesh.
neutral · AI labelView post →Saw someone mention what was the era defining film for Gen X, and my vote would be for The Breakfast Club. Films like Slacker, Singles, and Reality Bites were fad chasing. Like the infamous "Grunge" fashion spread in Vogue. It was John Hughes that sculpted the raw materials.

There was another post that got deleted which made me interested in "The Breakfast Club". Maybe we can continue the discussion here? People said Allison is a cool character and that people like Allison turned out to be good people in their experience. What do you think about that? Others said, you must see this movie if you're one of those "movie nerds" as it's…
