There are many things that give the 80s a bad name. Terrible fashion, Maggie Thatcher, an overreliance on synthesizers in pop tracks… but Great Scott, The Breakfast Club is not one of them. Ostensibly a film about five mismatched youths spending a Saturday in detention, John Hughes’ film exposes teenage angst before meticulously dissecting it in ways which still resonate today. In every school there is a genius, princess or basket case that can relate to the issues affecting Molly Ringwald and co. For that reason The Breakfast Club remains timeless. All together now: “Don’t you forget about me…”
5/5
