Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe?

Mess with the bull--you get the horns.

Chicks cannot hold their smoke.

I've read that Hughes wanted to revisit the characters every ten years or so, but it seemed like something always got in the way. He had a falling out with Ringwald because she turned down "Some Kind Of Wonderful". They eventually reconciled, but by then Hughes' career had cooled somewhat, and he couldn't get funding. When he did get the backing, he couldn't fit Estevez into a schedule because he had to film one of those abysmal "Mighty ducks" movies, and then after that Paul Gleason died....and then he died.

 

[AAABatteries]

Damn, I'm old.

 

[Tom Servo]

Molly Ringwald was hot then and even moreso now.

 

[matuski]

Not many movies with this kind of nostalgia for me.

 

[John Bender]

The only movie that I can recite word for word.

 

[Brady Marino]

EAT. MY. SHORTS.

I'm sure I posted this in 2004's Breakfast Club thread, but my first ever "date" was to see the Breakfast Club . . . It was in eighth grade in the fall if '84. I had just moved and was the new kid. My mom drove us to the mall. I spent the entire movie working up the nerve to reach my arm up around her shoulder. I eventually succeeded, but didn't have the nerve to push things further.

I never had a second date with that young lady, but I grew out my hair, pierced my ear, and got a long wool coat. I was a Brian, but created a Bender. By spring of '85 I was pulling Claires throughout the greater Newton MA area.

 

[snogger]

Showed this movie to my 14 year old daughter a few months back.. She's now watched it 3 other times and calls it one of her favorite movies.

 

[Chaka]

Ally Sheedy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Molly Ringwald

 

[belljr]

The only movie that I can recite word for word.

Luckily you weren't given a different username....so did you wear sneakers under your boot wraps? The whole I'm playing for a scholarship scene..where did you get sneakers

 

[zamboni]

Ally Sheedy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Molly Ringwald

I agree - never a Ringwald fan.

Sheedy almost got the Claire part instead, from what I've read.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Could you describe the ruckus, sir?

 

[joffer]

The only movie that I can recite word for word.

I used to be able to. I'm out of practice.

 

[Mjolnirs]

Go fix me a turkey pot pie!

This is the first movie my wife and I recorded on our VCR.

 

[JuniorNB]

Demented and sad, but social

 

[fruity pebbles]

still holds up, my 16 year old loves this movie

 

[Henry Ford]

Screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Molly Ringwald was hot then and even moreso now.

Would so give her a hot beef injection

 

[Leroy Hoard]

This is the first movie my wife and I recorded on our VCR.

Now that is nostalgia.

 

[Tom Servo]

Ally Sheedy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Molly Ringwald

You serious Clark?

 

[belljr]

Ally Sheedy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Molly Ringwald

You serious Clark?

[Tom Servo]

Ally Sheedy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Molly Ringwald

You serious Clark?

what side of the argument you on?

The side that says she's hot, wiseass.

Deep trivia:

Rick Moranis was originally cast as the janitor; he left due to creative differences.

Why does Andrew get to get up?!

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Deep trivia:

Other proposed titles were "The Lunch Bunch" and "Library Revolution".

 

[John Bender]

Why does Andrew get to get up?!

Seriously

 

[JuniorNB]

Deep trivia:

Rick Moranis was originally cast as the janitor; he left due to creative differences.

He took off?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I'm surprised they couldn't find a part for James Spader.

 

[zamboni]

Deep trivia:

He took off?

I see what you did there.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Breakfast Club was released on Feb 15, 1985.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooow I get it!

 

[Chaka]

What's a beautiful broad like you doing with a malaka like this?

 

[joffer]

"What if your dope was on fire?"

"Impossible sir, it's in Johnson's underwear"

 

[rick6668]

What do you need a fake I.D. for?

So I can vote.

Well, Brian, this is a very nutritious lunch. All the food groups are represented. Did your mom marry Mr. Rogers?

Uh, no. Mr. Johnson.

Yeah, well, I guess you could consider it a social situation. I mean there are other children in my club and uh, at the end of the year we have, um, you know, a big banquet, at the, uh, at the Hilton.

You load up, you party...

Well, no, we get dressed up...I mean, but, we don't...we don't get high.

Only burners like you get high...

And, uh, I didn't have any shoes. So I had to borrow my dad's. It was kinda weird 'cause my mom doesn't like me to wear other people's shoes. And, uh, my cousin Kent...my cousin Kendall from, uh, Indiana... He got high once and you know, he started eating like really weird foods. And uh, and then he just felt like he didn't belong anywhere. You know, kinda like, you know "Twilight Zone" kinda.

 

[Chaka]

So basically, Jimmy, my business is video game arcades, laundry, cigarette machines...and trucking. I dabble a little bit in personal loans and politics.

I see what you did there.

I knew you'd be the one to get that. lol

 

[Raider Nation]

Uh, ****? Excuse me -- Rich. Willllll MILK be made available to us?

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

I'm surprised they couldn't find a part for James Spader.

After the enormous success of "Sixteen Candles", almost every up-and-coming actor under the age of twenty-five auditioned for "The Breakfast Club". Spader, Matthew Broderick, Andrew McCarthy, Lea Thompson, Mary Stuart Matheson, Charlie Sheen all auditioned and got subsequent roles in future Hughes films.

 

[Raider Nation]

Bender: Claire, you wanna see a picture of a guy with elephantitis of the nuts? It's pretty tasty.

Claire: No thank you.

Bender: How does he ride a bike?

Bender: Oh Claire, would you ever consider dating a guy who looked like this?

Claire: Can't you just leave me alone?

Bender: I mean even if he had a nice personality and a cool car... although you'd probably have to ride in the backseat because his nuts would ride shotgun.

[JB Breakfast Club]

If you want to see something funny, go visit John Bender in 5 30 years.

 

[Raider Nation]

EB, looks like the AV Club picked up on your story.

 

[Chaka]

If you want to see something funny, go visit John Bender in 5 30 years.

excuse me a sec... what are you babbling about?

 

[NCCommish]

Doesn't feel like 30 years. I am feeling very mortal lately.

 

[Mr. Ected]

John Bender: What's in there?
Claire Standish: Guess? Where's your lunch?
John Bender: You're wearing it.
Claire Standish: You're nauseating.
John Bender: [pointing to Claire's lunch] What's that?
Claire Standish: Sushi.
John Bender: Sushi?
Claire Standish: Rice, raw fish, and seaweed.
John Bender: You won't accept a guy's tongue in your mouth, and you're going to eat that?
Claire Standish: Can I eat?
John Bender: I don't know. Give it a try.

[Mr. Ected]

This is the first movie my wife and I recorded on our VCR.

Now that is nostalgia.

In an attempt to one up you, my family bought our first VCR to tape the last episode of M*A*S*H. Day of (2/28/1984), from the Caldor in Norwell, MA.
