M | 98 Mins | 1985 | DCP | US | D: John Hughes

The high-school movie that defined the genre finds Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez and Anthony Michael Hall together in Saturday detention, in a Hall of Justice assembly of teen subcultures.

Forty years after its release, The Breakfast Club still shines with a relatable, funny script, fantastic performances and flashes of genuine insight into adolescent psychology.

“Eminently watchable and consistently entertaining… It has a candour that is unexpected and refreshing in a sea of too-often generic teen-themed films.” – ReelViews
