The Breakfast club

Good movie YAY? or NAY?

you have your say...

personally, i think it's an excellent movie, VERY relevant to teenage life whatever decade you look at.
not only that, but it's entertaining 80's goodness...

[Biff]

Big Yay from here.

Anything which reminds me of Simple Minds if top drawer IMO. Saw them in concert once (Cardiff) - Awesome.

Having gone through a similar experience for getting caught with firecrackers at a school independence day parade, I get that sense of nostalgia. I guess ministers may not have been pleased with something that sounds like gun shots going off....... though it seemed cool when I was 9yrs old......... and I only wanted to scare the girls.

It also reminds me of that time in life when you realise that people are just people and have as many good and bad points as the next person, be they a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess or a criminal.

Never saw the movie - never will.
Saw Simple Minds Twice.

God gave me travelling shoes,
God gave me the wanderer's eye,
God gave two gold coins to help me to the other side.
He then turned around and said - be careful how the small things grow,
When God gives you travelling shoes,
You know that it is time to go.
Home,
Home,
Home.

He then sent in the ship at night,
And it took me to a hidden port.
Slipped me the key at last,
To open up my prison door.
Gave me blackbird's wings,
Gifted me with beggar's eyes.
But when God sends in the jackals,
You know that it is time to say bye, bye, bye.
So I'm going home.

Home,
Home,
Home,
Home,
Home.

So God gave me travelling shoes,
Gave me one last reprieve.
He then gave me hunger,
Denying me the air to breath.
Not even one small case,
Not even one last goodbye.
But God gave me travelling shoes,
And without them I would surely die,
So I'm going home.

Home,
Home,
Home,
Home

It's a movie for teens that will probably only make a real impression if you are a teen and going through whatever it is "young people" go through.

What you doin awake anyway?

Sleep is over rated. I'm writing dribble about motorbikes and eating hummus and rice crackers.

[Steam]

That movie is part of my childhood, ingrained in my psyche.
That song is AWESOME! One of my top 50.

[onearmedbandit]

Big yay from me, the movie rocked.

Not famiiler with Breakfast Club but Stand By Me kinda fills that gap that for me.

[SARGE]

AJ .. i think you have been spending too much time with Indy ..


i feel the need to suggest an intervention

[Goblin]

Not famiiler with Breakfast Club but Stand By Me kinda fills that gap that for me.Oh I loved that one! Boys on an adventure. The Gods Must Be Crazy has gotta be my all time favourite though.:yes:

[yod]

spot the generation x's

I was a teenager in the eighties and I loved the movie at the time.

We all thought that 'the man' was trying to hold us down, and that was the main theme of the film, so we all identified with it.

The Simple Minds track was a biggie at the time, but the theme of the eighties for me was a wee track by the Beastie Boys.......You gotta fight, for ya right, to parrrrttttaaaayy.:Punk:

[Curious_AJ]

AJ .. i think you have been spending too much time with Indy ..


i feel the need to suggest an intervention


hahaha.. no... this is not indy generated i'm afraid my darling :p

but yeah, i was just awake, and thinking about little mvies that i can never ghet enough of, the ones that kind of stick with you... even though i was but a twinkle when this one was created, it still is one of those good old beer and pizza movies...

another one i like is sixteen candles, that one is basically "the life of a teenage girl 101"

adding to that, a rather entertaining film has got to be weird science... lol.. "the life of a teenage boy with a twist 101"

and last but not least... risky business... cant go past that movie if you're thinking 80s teen flicks...

[Drum]

...... risky business... cant go past that movie if you're thinking 80s teen flicks...

[MisterD]

Now you're talking.....what about Pretty in Pink, a much better song, by a much better band too

[crashe]

The Breakfast Club - Yep..........
I too can relate to that movie as well.......
Detention - lunchtime and afterschool on a daily basis....

[Mom]

The Gods Must Be Crazy has gotta be my all time favourite though.:yes:


Not my all time fav, but very worthy contender.......:yes:

PS i loved it !!!

[Babelfish]

One word: Porky's

The start of all the lame comedies of similar ilk, who can forget the cock through the wall bit???

[Drum]

Aren't we forgetting something here?..............

[ali]

All teenage movies in the eighties had Molly Ringwald in them, didn't they ?

Ferris Bueller was probably my favourite of the time.

As for music, Psychedelic Furs, Devo, Simple Minds' music seemed to appear in every movie and I have kept all my old records in the hope that I'll one day get another turntable ( what a sad bastard I've become )

[Bullitt]

I love Breakfast Club and Ferris Buellers day off...Though I generally like most older movies going right back to along time before I was born. Another 80s favourite for me is The Princess Bride.

[Hitcher]

What ever happened to Molly Ringworm?

[Big Dave]

You poofs. In touch with your feminine side, teen angst POOFS.
Somebody put a Charles Bronson movie on FFS.
