This rewatch was frustrating and somewhat infuriating.

Not because the film disappointed, no, it's still as funny and perfectly balanced as ever.

It's because, in over 30 years, the problems kids face because of self-centred adults haven't changed the slightest.

for years upon years ive always wondered about old peoples fascination with this movie and that shaggy guy with a birdnose and baggy clothes pumping his fist in the air.
i get it now.

im always SO bitter about the makeover claire gives allison she looked so amazing with the goth look <///3

I get what the film was trying to do by bringing together characters of different stereotypes, but I found it so insufferable to watch honestly. And Bender treats Claire like shit the entire movie, talks about how he wants to rape her, sticks his head up her skirt, and at the end she’s like, “I luv u bb kiss kiss.” Get outta here.

brian just randomly talking about the clubs hes in while everyone ignores him is me in a gc

It captured teenage angst in the eighties so well.

And had a wonderful cast.

And such memorable characters.

And it was hilarious.

And then there's that soundtrack.

Boy, that soundtrack.....

We’re all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that’s all.

All my personalities who meet each other.

Pauline Kael described The Breakfast Club as “a movie about a bunch of stereotypes who complain that other people see them as stereotypes.” That's certainly true, but The Breakfast Club is also about teenagers who realize that their peers are far more complex than the restrictive labels they're boxed into. That, I think, is what sets the film apart from most other high school comedies. It's funny as hell, but it's also sympathetic and understanding of the choices these teenagers make. That's a rare quality to come across in a film about people who don't yet know who they are. Although the characters will almost certainly retreat into the labels foisted upon them as soon as detention is over, they leave school that day with the knowledge that people are, well, just people. And we all know just how long it takes to understand something as simple as that.

White people 😐

john hughes rei dos anos 80.

“We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all.”

Eh the sexism and weird tropes made it less enjoyable but cute ig

If I am ever sad or lonely this is where you ll find me.

victorious’s special made me have very high expectations

I can probably quote the eat my shorts scene by heart at this point

So many hashtag deep moments in here but it’s excusable because the 80s seem kinda cool

Filme de sessão da tarde, feito pra não ter sentido, pra ser bom demais... mas não o suficiente.

eu mentalmente cancelo os minutos finais quando eles transformam a goticaestilosa em frufruzinha, vai p porra mas tirando isso zero defeitos. muito ruim nota 5, fav!

surprising lack of breakfast in this film:(

Such a well-written film, and I'm not just talking about the hilarious lines from Bender.
