The Breakfast Club (1985)
This is one 0f John Hughes's classic movies that he made during his illustrious career. I think it was the only movie that Judd Nelson (Airheads) was ever cool in and another home run for Molly Ringwald (Sixteen Candles). The movie is about 5 teenagers that have to spend their Saturday serving detention at their high school. These 5 teens are completely different as well with Emilio Estevez (Young Guns) being the jock Andrew, Molly Ringwald playing the popular, very prissy Claire, Anthony Michael Hall (The Dark Knight) as the nerdy Brian, Judd Nelson as the trouble maker Bender, and Ally Sheedy (Short Circuit) as the weird Allison. The movie is great because these kids go in thinking they have nothing in common, but leave discovering something new about themselves that they didn't know. They also have to deal with the tough as nails Principal Vernon (Paul Gleason), who has touch with the generations and has completely no respect for any of them. This is a great teen movie and it also has a great soundtrack to boot. This movie gives you a real lesson in how not to teach a book by it's cover. I give it an A.
