Generation X had the incredible luxury of being able to pick from over 100 songs that could be considered as "song for a generation". Some real iconic classic tunes came out of that era! We were spoiled with the wealth of musical talent in the 80s!
I was born in 1976. On my 8th birthday in 1984, my cat had kittens. This movie, although it came out in 1985, is set in March 1984, the same month I turned 8.
Remaking this movie today would be a groupful of non gender snowflake freaks self loathing frankfurt school abortion bucket excerment that passes for teenage angst today.
@@holgerschink1341 If they ever try to remake this movie or Ferris Buller's Day Off will be the non gender freaks for all the roles & most importantly no white people.
My dad is still here with me, I’m blessed every day that he is around! So I now have 6 beautiful children who have have grown so quickly and so strong. I grew up with this amazing song when I was a kid. I am blessed to have them all together. I know that this will change but make sure your children know there grandparents. Please! Glenn
This movie is a straight masterpiece and they better never try and remake it. There will never be another Breakfast Club movie with an epic song to go with it. Shout out to Simple Minds!
Only thing that came close to it was the parody in Not Another Teen Movie and that was more of a nod to the genius of the movie. And it had the principle in it!
It wouldn't make sense to any other generation, and they'd never make a movie just for us aging Gen X'ers. They could maybe make a movie about Gen Z for Gen Z'ers, but that would be a whole different movie, and I wouldn't have a problem with that.
The movie "The Breakfast Club" is a movie that every teenager (and others) should see. The message of the movie changed me... "never judge a book by its cover".....
This movie is pure genius. They simply do not make movies like this anymore. Timeless classic that captures the hope, the dreams, the horrors and the broken promises of growing up. Ultimately these kids realize it's THEY who will define themselves, not their parents or the schools or society. Utterly fantastic movie!!! And excellent music!!!
But we are all a product of our society, culture and genetic heritage. And parents do have a huge influence on how you ultimately turn out in life. It’s just another typical movie promoting ‘muh individualism’ to the white guy 🙄
I'm wondering: What if THIS movie was made mandatory for kids in today's junior high & high school to watch, would it have a positive effect on them? Just asking.
Yes, it was that light out in Chicago before 7 a.m. in March with daylight saving time not taking effect until the end of April those days. Sunrise would have been well before 6.
I graduated HS in '86. This movie means so much to my generation. Times were simpler, yet just as complicated. I was a mash up of the characters. I was a jock, I bit my nails in class, and had an abusive father. This movie was and is my teen years. Cheers from America!
The genius of this film is that everyone in the audience can identify with one of the characters. I was born in 76 and always identified with John Bender. I was that kid. This film and song will always hold a very special place in my heart. I know some of you reading this know exactly what I mean. 😉👍 I love all of you. X
So true! Although I was 25 in 1985 & well past high school days, I still related to this film. And this classic tune was a dance floor dream in the clubs back in the day. Absolutely love it!!
@@bethnatalie394 How does it feel to correct someone and then realize... "Oh shit, I'm 1000% wrong..." Laughing uncontrollable out loud. Thanks for making my evening.
I'm obsessed with this movie and this song! I've probably seen this movie nearly 💯 times! I watch it every time it airs anywhere.... and I have the CD. I grew up in the 80s and it's so relatable.
I just revisited the Breakfast Club last night, 2023. A timeless classic! I don't care what era you were born, this movie is the epitome of what we have or should have experienced in simpler times...As you get older, don't let your hearts die! 💪🥳
I love how even their seating arrangement indicates their position. Claire and Andrew sit next to each other at the front, clean-cut and on display. Bender sits behind them, taking the backseat and watching them with the snarky observations, also partially hidden in their shadow as it were. Brian and Allison are off to the side, both much more isolated than the others, but Brian is in the front (good student with a good image) and Allison is in the back (forgotten wallflower)

Haha cellphones bad teens stupid let's come back to a time tachers had the right to keep children locked in for hours against their wills. God I hate boomers so much. We both like this movie but not for the same reasons apparently. Sincerely yours, pissed of 16 y.o.
I was 25 when this movie came out. Far from a teenager, but I watched this movie many times on VHS. And the song used to play in the clubs. Fantastic tune.
I watched this on a flight, and my neighbor said it was a good movie. I can never forget it; it's very hard to describe, but in that moment, I truly felt the essence of the movie. I would even say it's the best movie ever, but it's just so hard to fit it into one category.
Here today @ 62 and remembering being a 23 year old who fell in love with this movie and song while mentoring a young teen age girl! That girl is now a 50 year old Grandmother and we are still deeply bonded because of this movie that we would recite verbatim! We will give it a try soon Today Brats came out on Hulu 6/13/24! 63 in 17 days and this song is still fantastic!
I am from the Breakfast Club generation. This was the coming-of-age movie for me in high school. I would say it's my favorite movie ever, and certainly the best theme song ever. I love the role Ally Sheedy played. Also, I believe teens today should be required to watch this movie, just to see how things were for them in 1985.

@@lindapechac7763 Yes, back then I had a full head of hair, slim trim body, good looking face & could bend over without making a noise. Those days have long gone but I do have the soundtrack from my youth.
disagree strongly lol. best movies, no. Most of yall are blinded by nostalgia. Movie tech definitely wasnt advanced as it is now, and the acting was mediocre at best. Best music, no, the reason you think that is because all the bad songs get filtered out from your mind, and you only listen to “80s *hits* “ so it is again filtered out
Great video about a really fantastic movie if not the music is perfect !! ❤️❤️❤️ This movie stands today and is still the coolest movie ever, I really love this music video , as the anniversary is March 24th, they should replay it every Easter weekend for all the new middle school kids on an Easter break!
The amount of times I've seen this and other incredible 80s and 90s movies on lists of "Movies that didn't age well" is frustrating to a level I can't place into words. Always need to come back and listen to this to help cool off...
It will be. If we get up off our awesome asses and fix this shit. GEN X was kind of cursed, by definition, but we were gifted, too. We've ignored these gifts, taken them for granted. Not anymore.
Who can't relate to this movie?? It identifies the 80's in SO many ways, not to mention the music that we all grew up with!! Long live the Breakfast Club!! ❤❤❤😊
Can't help but to *SMILE* watching this Awesome compilation. 80s were the BEST of times and I feel bad for the generations that missed out on such incredible times.
It's amazing that John Hughes was able to capture what it means to be human to this generation. This movie should be a must watch and the David Bowie reference is masterful. No fluff, not gimmicks, pure magic.

Dear Mr. Vernon, We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us - in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club
For me, the 80’s were high school and college. I didn’t realize how great they were back then but I really enjoyed them. I’m glad for the experiences and how the music from that decade still plays loud and proud today!
Watching this is like witnessing my own largely misspent youth flash before my eyes. It makes me sad that these days are gone and we've all grown older. Take me back to the 80s when things were carefree and so much less complicated.
@@anthonyobryan3485 you got that straight - side note - it's a dark irony, but I had a friend Anthony O' Brien (different spelling) a fantastic guy, but a wild boy, who died tragically, very young, not even yet 30, doing something silly and dangerous (like we all did) while drunk. Rest in Peace Tony O B.
This song goes with The Breakfast Club like the perfect sunrise over a beautiful landscape, it turned this great movie into a masterpiece. Everything about this film is timeless.
I was born January 4th 1990. I just missed the 80s. Had i only been born 10yrs before. The people who grew up in the 80s are so lucky lol. You guys had the best music, movies, and just culture overall back then.
i remember my father showing me this movie and i remember sitting next to him and watching him re-experiencing his childhood slowly crying on the inside i think he shed a tear or two, which he extremely rarely does at films i remember him looking over at his kid seeing himself in me seeing one of his favorite movies captivating me at the end i shed a tear too this is a breathtaking film that was made excellently one of the very few movies i don't consider movies but cinematic experiences
70 years old here. I was 31 when this movie came out….my favorite movie of all time. Even though it was about teenagers and what went on in their world, it could apply in some ways to older adults at the time too. I think it’s about claiming all parts of the self and not letting others define you. Having awareness and seeing others for their true selves… a hard thing to do in this culture sometimes.
Hey, hey, hey, hey Ooh-ooh, ooh-woh Won't you come see about me? I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby Tell me your troubles and doubts Give them everything, inside and out and Love's strange, so real in the dark Think of the tender things that we were working on Slow change may pull us apart When the light gets into your heart, baby Don't you forget about me Don't, don't, don't, don't Don't you forget about me Will you stand above me? Look my way? Never love me? Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling Down, down, down Will you recognize me? Call my name or walk on by? Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling Down, down, down, down Hey, hey, hey, hey Ooh-ooh, ooh-woh Don't you try and pretend It's my feeling we'll win in the end, I won't Harm you or touch your defenses Vanity, insecurity uh-uh! Don't you forget about me I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby Going to take you apart I'll put us back together at heart, baby Don't you forget about me Don't, don't, don't, don't Don't you forget about me As you walk on by Will you call my name? As you walk on by Will you call my name? And you walk away Or will you walk away? Will you walk on by? Come on, call my name Will you call my name?

I can't associate this song in any other way, other then The Breakfast Club. I hear this song, and Breakfast Club pops into my head. That was one iconic movie and still remains a hit to this very day. It's a timeless piece.
this movie is a true masterpiece, addresses all the problems of every teenager but in a beautiful but real way...every person who sees it feels identified with it...i love it! can watch it over and over again and never get tired of it! i'm 35 but i would've loved to be a teenager in the 80s
So glad that this movie is forever captured on film and the best soundtrack ever. So happy for y’all that were part of the 80’s, the best music generation ever. I’m right there with you. Sincerely, The Breakfast Club Fan.
Those school lockers were the same ones in my school back in 80's. Proud to be gen-X. 80's ruled!!! Seeing those school lockers brings back flashes of memories of my high school years. Conversations with friends and classmates while standing at those lockers. Just memories......
i was on the football team and they used to paint hand crafted signs for each of the players on friday before gameday and put them on the lockers. we would come in with our jerseys on and a shirt and tie. small school but lots of spirit. that day all the girls were eyeing even a geek like me.
Most brilliant movie from that era. It really captured the vibe of 80's high school culture. Every time I see it I feel like I'm in a time capsule, seeing/experiencing that part of my life once again.
The feeling that I got in the end, that everything would turn out okay, was (and still is) an amazing feeling! Congratulations all who made this film, including the unknowns. This film was bigger than all of you, and it is an American positive Legacy, (no matter how we end up right now.)
Fortunately, I lived through the eighties. I grew up with the myth of American films! My dream has always been to attend an American high school! When I look at this masterpiece my dream comes true. Immense Hughes. Thank you very much for the emotions you sent me. A hug from Italy.
I felt the same way. The song was so perfect for the teenage angst that I couldnt quite comprehend yet. It all looked like the magic land that was up ahead of me. This movie.
WHAT A soundtrack !!!!! Still gives me goosebumps, even after 37!!! yrs & keeps it alive 4 ever! Still sounds fresh......& wonderful Molly ! Pretty (in pink😉) dance at 2:40 btw. Luv it....

This movie stands today and is still the coolest movie ever, I really love this music video , as the anniversary is March 24th, they should replay it every Easter weekend for all the new middle school kids on an Easter break!
Thank God I grew up in the 80s, but now I'm 48. Still the best decade for life!
I’m turning 40 but had an older brother so caught all the great music
I'll be 42 this year. Can't work out where all that time went, but I'll always be grateful for the 80s.
90s was great too for a teen 🍻
47 in 2 weeks!!! Dammm I was so there miss these days!!!
The Best John Hughes movie which expressed the emotions of High School personalities!!
The amount of times I've seen this and other incredible 80s and 90s movies on lists of "Movies that didn't age well" is frustrating to a level I can't place into words. Always need to come back and listen to this to help cool off...
Yes Boo it was an excellent summary
The 80’s best generation ever .....
I should know I lived it my childhood 80s.
Love this song!
It will be.
If we get up off our awesome asses and fix this shit.
GEN X was kind of cursed, by definition, but we were gifted, too.
We've ignored these gifts, taken them for granted.
Not anymore.
It sure was! I lived it!✌😎🤙
Sure, crack and AIDS
Who can't relate to this movie?? It identifies the 80's in SO many ways, not to mention the music that we all grew up with!! Long live the Breakfast Club!! ❤❤❤😊
They don't make movies like this anymore
Can't help but to *SMILE* watching this Awesome compilation. 80s were the BEST of times and I feel bad for the generations that missed out on such incredible times.
This was THE defining movie of my high school experience. Hated high school but loved this movie.
It's amazing that John Hughes was able to capture what it means to be human to this generation. This movie should be a must watch and the David Bowie reference is masterful. No fluff, not gimmicks, pure magic.

@@onetimeacct5197 Love that for you! ❤
Five people from different backgrounds, finding out they have something in common. Each other
I just graduated and I'm so happy to say they used this song to represent our senior class! Class of 2021- don't forget about us.
Me too!
Im about to graduate this year and I am legit trying to get the administration to use this song
That's cool. Vintage tribute
Please do! Such a classic song I bet even the teachers will dance to it
I’m 2022…def will play this song.
Still listening this song and watching this movie. 40 years old. Greeting from Russia✌🙂
This 53yr old chic from that Generation…doing the same watching & listening ❣️ Hello from Kentucky 💙
Az az évtized amiben születtem, megunhatatlan ❤😊 üdv Magyarországról.
Desde España. Aquí la película se llamó "El club de los 5"). NO TE OLVIDES DE MÍ ‼️

Omg I miss my youth, the 80's, better it will never come
That film was pure gold... i never tire watching it so many fond memories of my youth 🇬🇧
Dear Mr. Vernon,
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us - in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal.
Does that answer your question?
Sincerely yours,
The Breakfast Club
i liked for the pure effort u put into this
Hell yes!
Who else could hear Michael Anthony Hall reading this, and then the rest of them personally saying what they are at the end?
P.S. Screw You !
Love this movie ❤️
For me, the 80’s were high school and college. I didn’t realize how great they were back then but I really enjoyed them. I’m glad for the experiences and how the music from that decade still plays loud and proud today!
John Hughes,
He made so many cool films.
Funny,
Cool,
Cheesy
Awesome
Hands down the best teen angst movie of all time.
Perfect cast, perfectly acted, masterpiece.
Watching this is like witnessing my own largely misspent youth flash before my eyes. It makes me sad that these days are gone and we've all grown older. Take me back to the 80s when things were carefree and so much less complicated.
Youth is wasted on the young.
@@anthonyobryan3485 you got that straight - side note - it's a dark irony, but I had a friend Anthony O' Brien (different spelling) a fantastic guy, but a wild boy, who died tragically, very young, not even yet 30, doing something silly and dangerous (like we all did) while drunk. Rest in Peace Tony O B.
Me too
Oh si😪
Today is 40 years, Brian wrote a letter
This song goes with The Breakfast Club like the perfect sunrise over a beautiful landscape, it turned this great movie into a masterpiece. Everything about this film is timeless.
sunset
Well said 100% facts
I was born January 4th 1990. I just missed the 80s. Had i only been born 10yrs before. The people who grew up in the 80s are so lucky lol. You guys had the best music, movies, and just culture overall back then.
There can be remakes of the 80s.
But the 80s can never be replaced.
i remember my father showing me this movie
and i remember sitting next to him
and watching him re-experiencing his childhood
slowly crying on the inside
i think he shed a tear or two, which he extremely rarely does at films
i remember him looking over at his kid
seeing himself in me
seeing one of his favorite movies captivating me
at the end i shed a tear too
this is a breathtaking film that was made excellently
one of the very few movies i don't consider movies
but
cinematic experiences
70 years old here. I was 31 when this movie came out….my favorite movie of all time. Even though it was about teenagers and what went on in their world, it could apply in some ways to older adults at the time too. I think it’s about claiming all parts of the self and not letting others define you. Having awareness and seeing others for their true selves… a hard thing to do in this culture sometimes.
Thanks to this movie my high school started Saturday school! Damn you John Hughes lol!
Mine too. I had to go once.
The 80's and 90's truly made a mark on all of us who were lucky enough to grow up throughout those decades 💯
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh-ooh, ooh-woh
Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Give them everything, inside and out and
Love's strange, so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby
Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me
Will you stand above me?
Look my way? Never love me?
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down
Will you recognize me?
Call my name or walk on by?
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh-ooh, ooh-woh
Don't you try and pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end, I won't
Harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity, insecurity uh-uh!
Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby
Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
And you walk away
Or will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on, call my name
Will you call my name?
I say:
Ooh la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
When you walk on by
And you call my name
I can't associate this song in any other way, other then The Breakfast Club. I hear this song, and Breakfast Club pops into my head. That was one iconic movie and still remains a hit to this very day. It's a timeless piece.
Classic film. Excellent decade!
this movie is a true masterpiece, addresses all the problems of every teenager but in a beautiful but real way...every person who sees it feels identified with it...i love it! can watch it over and over again and never get tired of it! i'm 35 but i would've loved to be a teenager in the 80s
I know it's u fck tard
I'm a punk from the 60's and this song send shivers up my back. Super classic of the ages.
@2ndservace Punk meaning small kid. Sheesh.
@2ndservace Punk DID exist in the 60s. Just like grunge existed before the 90s.
Search on "texas punk" or "northwest punk" ...
You will never understand the 80's if you were not there with us.
Was!!
Wonderfull, no cell phones, no internet...best times
Magical time period
Just Like you will never understand the 60s and 70s ------ much better then the 80s
#facts
So glad that this movie is forever captured on film and the best soundtrack ever. So happy for y’all that were part of the 80’s, the best music generation ever. I’m right there with you. Sincerely, The Breakfast Club Fan.
My dad introduced me to this film many years ago. Rip dad 💔😭 he'd be chuffed that I still watch it I do love this film 😁🤘🏼
One of my top 5 films of the 80's - love it.
Those school lockers were the same ones in my school back in 80's. Proud to be gen-X. 80's ruled!!! Seeing those school lockers brings back flashes of memories of my high school years. Conversations with friends and classmates while standing at those lockers. Just memories......
i was on the football team and they used to paint hand crafted signs for each of the players on friday before gameday and put them on the lockers. we would come in with our jerseys on and a shirt and tie. small school but lots of spirit. that day all the girls were eyeing even a geek like me.
Over the past 30 years, I see this film from a different perspective each time I watch it. Still worth the time.
Most brilliant movie from that era. It really captured the vibe of 80's high school culture. Every time I see it I feel like I'm in a time capsule, seeing/experiencing that part of my life once again.
Couldn't of said it any better!!
The feeling that I got in the end, that everything would turn out okay, was (and still is) an amazing feeling!
Congratulations all who made this film, including the unknowns.
This film was bigger than all of you, and it is an American positive Legacy, (no matter how we end up right now.)
Can we go back to the 80s? It wasn't perfect but there was so much hope in the air. Simpler times...so uncomplicated. Great music.
I can’t begin to put into words what this song means to me. Happiness, sadness, loss, love, fondness… don’t you forget about me…
Amazing song, great singer and great movie
I met Emilio Estevez when I went to USC Film School..he came to one of our classes..got his autograph too..🎁🎁🎇🎆💝🎈
It touched many issues that still resonates today more than ever! Classic! Definitely a millennial worth watch!!!
Molly Ringwald was definitely something ...
I saw this movie while my older cousin was sitting for us. I was in kindergarten but I remember Molly Ringwald that’s for damn sure.
Yep. And Ally Sheedy.

Fortunately, I lived through the eighties. I grew up with the myth of American films! My dream has always been to attend an American high school! When I look at this masterpiece my dream comes true. Immense Hughes. Thank you very much for the emotions you sent me. A hug from Italy.
My birth certificate says I’ll be 51 next week but while watching this I was 12 years-old again.
I felt the same way. The song was so perfect for the teenage angst that I couldnt quite comprehend yet. It all looked like the magic land that was up ahead of me. This movie.
Dude, what happened, where did the time go?
Such a joy to watch. Your passion shines through every moment
This is truly the anthem of Generation X.
Yeees 🤘🏽😛🤘🏽!
We were the latchkey kids of the 1970s. We've always been forgotten.
So glad to be a Gen X guy and not a millennial
WHAT A soundtrack !!!!! Still gives me goosebumps, even after 37!!! yrs & keeps it alive 4 ever! Still sounds fresh......& wonderful Molly !
Pretty (in pink😉) dance at 2:40 btw. Luv it....
