I do like the song Pretty in pink by the psychedelic furs though

I would highly recommend Trains, Planes and Automobile. Guaranteed it will make you feel good.

It was prob my fave film back then - still have a copy of it on VHS but also on DVD. I think I brainwashed my brother and sis too, they can repeat most it parrot fashion

I hated breakfast club. We watched it at a mates house and at the end this guy chirped up 'which character do you most relate to and why'. He was quickly shown the door and we settled down to watch Strangebrew - the adventures of Bob and Doug Mackenzie. Very dated now but a great film in its day. Take off eh!

The Breakfast Club isn't a great film but it's a good film. Eminently watchable all the same and I agee Judd Nelson had the talent to be a great actor as did to a lesser extent Emilio and Molly.

I remember that actor John Cusack wanted to get into either Sixteen Candles or was it Breakfast Club and missed out to Emillio Estevez (possibly his best role ever). Shame that Molly Ringwall and Judd Nelson didn't go stellar in the Hollywood scene after that, they had talent, most of those actors from Breakfast Club have been in B-Movie hell for decades.

John Hughes was an interesting chap, he apparently hated his school life and refused an award from his High School after all his American High School movies / teen movies received great success.

Shame he gave directing up / went on a sabatical for years and years.

Bagpuss.

Could you please change your avatar back to the saggy old cloth cat?

I find the disgusting turd with a BMW badge doesn't really engender a nice warm feeling.

Just a suggestion.
