Overview
Five high school students from different walks of life endure a Saturday detention under a power-hungry principal. The disparate group includes rebel John, princess Claire, outcast Allison, brainy Brian and Andrew, the jock. Each has a chance to tell his or her story, making the others see them a little differently -- and when the day ends, they question whether school will ever be the same.

Click here for a video version of this review: https://youtu.be/tCnm1BN1iAs The brain, the athlete, the princess, the basket case, and the criminal - yes we’re talking about _The Breakfast Club_. It’s been dubbed as a seminal film of the 1980s and takes a place as an intergenerational classic. _They were five students with nothing in common, faced with spending a Saturday detention together in their high school library.

I still think The Breakfast Club is an incredible film, and the core message it presents remains deeply important and relevant even today. I love the premise: a group of seemingly random students in detention: the jock, the emo kid, the popular girl, the nerd, the rule-breaker, all thrown together. As the day unfolds, the labels fall...
