We watched it when it came to cable. To this day my brother and I give each other the Breakfast Club line award for fitting the one liners into our conversation.
Please, Hollywood, no reboot needed here. The 80's, captured brilliantly on film. Besides, as I've stated before, if it were remade it'd be a group of kids sitting around texting for 90 minutes.
At the very least, the kids would be multiracial and multisexual, just to make it current.
"So, this was part of a whole series of films about high school that John Hughes wrote and directed, including "Sixteen Candles" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." But what is it about this one, "The Breakfast Club," that's lasted?"
thought it was pretty good but am I supposed to like that Bender guy? And am I supposed to hate that poor principal? LOL
I think many of us saw it when we were teens/kids ourselves, so of course we related more to Bender and thought the principal was an idiot. I'd imagine seeing it as an adult would make you wonder about all the whiny teenagers.

It totally does. I saw it recently and sympathized so much more with the principal than I did as a teenager. This lead to a debate I had with a friend when someone asked what our favorite John Carpenter movies were, and I said Sixteen Candles and he said The Breakfast Club. I told him I watched recently and saw it from a different perspective and just couldn't root for those kids.
