I'm 63 years old and I was right in the middle of the Brat Pack years. I've always loved Rob Lowe and I 100% agree, the Brat Pack was cool! I absolutely love "About Last Night"! Rob and Demi were unbelievable in that movie.
Loved About Last Night, such a great movie…
Agreed. About Last Night is so underrated. It's really a stand-alone classic. The script is great and the performances are stellar.
Judd Nelson’s performance as John Bender was amazing. I always wonder why he was never more famous.
Ironically just watched it last night and I literally laughed out loud at Bender despite seeing that movie at least 100 times probably more.
Agreed that Judd was amazing in BC, in fact I believe that nobody else could have played that part and you could never do a remake for that reason. Judd was good in St Elmos Fire, but the other work I've seen of his lacked that same magic.
Same. He never reached the same level of performance again
WTF?? Lol..He's VERY famous
That article killed his acting career he was hammered the most in the article
In my opinion one of Robs best films was "About Last Night" & I think it's highly underrated! He & Demi were awesome together!
That was dirty movie lol
I like Bad Influence
@@gavincasey148 Yes,that was another great movie!
Rob is spot on. The Breakfast Club is the best Brat Pack movie and one of the best of the last 40 or so years.
Yup and he's right that it easily surpasses all the others in terms of quality. I'm a millennial and it was the first brat pack film I saw. Everything else was downhill from that. Especially sixteen candles and pretty in pink 👎
Young Guns
Loved him and Andrew in Class!
Rob looks amazing for 60.
Vampire
My mom makes me watch the 80's movies she grew up watching. 2 movies of Rob's i liked he never mentions are 'Masquerade' and 'Oxford Blues'..
55 now was a teen when all the brat pack movies were out. Great times
Good for you, Rich-I firmly believe that The Breakfast Club is MANDATORY viewing for anyone about to enter high school
The Breakfast Club is that movie that just really showed what it was like to be in high school. The reality of it all. The jock, the nerd, the burnout, the rich girl, the poor girl, the janitor, the teacher. What an amazing film. BTW, does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe?
Rob playing the saxophone in St. ELMOS was super cool and it may have dated poorly to some but never for someone born in 1974. Gnarly.
Lol..He DIDN'T play it...He just pretended too
@@BAKER22-l4ualmost like he was acting.
"In addition to the many girls in the Niagara Falls area...." Too many great quotes from one movie.
It's been a banner year in the Eisen household! Smoke up Rich!
This is what happens when you spill paint in the Eisen garage.It's about the size of a cigar! Do I stutter?
STOP SMOKING METH
Rob & Andrew were in Class & St. Elmo's,most folks don't know they were also in Mulholland
Falls-1996 Lee Tamahori crime thriller later re-made as Gangster Squad.
Class was an awesome, funny movie
About last night
My favorite Rob Lowe movie
The Breakfast Club is an absolute timeless movie. Each character is a legit representation of the various cliques in high school
My favorite movie of all time The breakfast club. Nice to hear you agree with me Rob❤
Rich Eisen is a super talented interviewer. I had no idea! Really enjoying these.
I’m 50, my GF is 46. We talk about ‘The Breakfast Club’ once a week to this day!
About last night is my third favorite movie of all time. To give you an idea on the type of movies I put in my top five include number one the best years of our lives the greatest movie ever made and second ordinary people but about last night is so underrated but easily my third favorite movie of all time. 100% agree with Rob it’s timeless.
Another reason why The Breakfast Club is timeless is because no matter what era, you wouldn’t be allowed to have a cell phone or other technology while in detention.
Youngblood is still one of the BEST Hockey movies ALL TIME! Young Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze...AWESOME!
Awesome sports flix up there with VisionQuest!Harold Becker also made Taps-1981
I just randomly put on The Breakfast Club the other morning and it totally pulled my wife and I into it, it has that power when you have not seen it for some time. And let me add, as a Lions fan who probably has more content to consume than most fanbases, I truly appreciate the entertainment aspect of your interviews Rich. Hearing the interesting backstories of your guests is why I think of you as the Larry King of sports broadcasting. You are a legend sir, and I truly enjoy and appreciate your content. You are one of the few people that can pull me into non-Lions related content, and for that I think you are in your own version of a rat or brat pack. I imagine that we grew up in a similar era, I am 52, and I am used to legends like Cosell, Michaels, Madden, Harwell, and others. I would put you and Dan Miller into my brat pack of sports broadcasters. So, who would you put there with you?
They all should have EMBRACED IT and hung out together...because the BRAT PACK was 😎 COOL and WE LOVED THEM!
Absolute agreement. Breakfast Club is top of the heap.
The film the Breakfast Club was a one set stag production that hit its mark!
I watched the BP documentary with great anticipation and the entire time I just felt badly for AM because he seemed to be wearing that pain still, all these years later. But, then I read the article the guy wrote in which he coined the phrase Brat Pack and AM is only mentioned in one sentence. In any case, I never thought of the phrase in a bad way and I always thought the actors were cool.
What’s AM?
@@azach5288Andrew McCarthy
Breakfast Club is my absolute favorite as well. I also feel the Brat Pack was cool.
Bad Influence one of my favorites
Hughes was a genius. Breakfast Club would not have been the same with Rob Lowe in that role. No offense at all to Lowe! But Hughes knew who and what he wanted, and why.
The amount of hot gash he’s gotten has to be staggering ❤
🤣🤣🤣🤣Lol.... and cold as well when in Canada and the Northernmost states... He's the white Wilt Chamberlain
I can't get over the fact that Rob is 79 years of age.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off the best.
Legend!
Molly seems the most bitter, like Hughes ruined her career. I believe she would not have had any career wo him.
She wanted to get away from the redhead image and that screwed her over . Kinda like Jennifer grey getting a nose job .
@@ronpaul1082That’s not it, she’s gone super excessive with calling out ‘inappropriate’ sexual themes and apologizing to her daughter about movies which pretty faithfully mimicked convention at the time.

"That man is a brownie hound"...... Oddly enough that movie was on just last night and I never knew what that actually meant but I do now.... Go look it up😂
I want to know his theories why he wasn’t cast in Hughes movies
The Breakfast Club is the greatest high school movie of all-time
I call less then zero a brat pac movie
WOW, good plug for the new Dead Pool Wolverine Movie😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I always associated 'The Brat Pack' as like the kids and grandkids of 'The Rat Pack.' As far as I remember, the brat part never was a derogatory term. To call young children 'little brats' was many times a term of endearment.
I have nothing to add except I lived in Japan for 13 years. Roku..is the number 6 in Japanese. Can anyone tell me why it is named this? Did the first 5 (Go) blow up? Is it even owned by a Japanese company? If somebody has the answer, please depart with the information to me. The only thing I have in retribution is the names and products a lot of American Stars did. We call them commercials.
ANYONE KNOW WHAT SNEAKERS ROB HAS ON?!?
Am I the only one that doesn't think the Breakfast Club was great? I enjoyed it at the time and was only 19 so I was in the demographic but it had no bearing on my high school experience at all.
You might be 🤷♂
I thank the Breakfast Club for Simple Minds.
Gotta love the movies and music from that time!
I think of the 80s new generation when I hear brat pack.
i was in my early/mid teens during that time and i found it offensive. i never bought into it or paid attention, to this day i am still confused who exactly was supposed to be part of it. a lot of those people as far as i ever knew did not really hang out together all that much, and a lot of people that were sort of part of that group did not get tagged. i watched the dog a few weeks ago and was just sort of amazed at how much the guy that wrote that article seemed to feel no guilt or anything about it at all.
Tough choice for me between breakfast and sixteen candles.
They are each better in their own way. Sixteen candles much funnier.
Sixteen Candles isn’t really a brat pack movie
It was when I was a kid. Most Google sources agree
@@cidlopez Sixteen Candles was released in May 1984, Brat Pack was coined in June 1985
@@ShaunHensley yes but it was coined in part in response to sixteen candles.
Sixteen candles, pretty in pink, at Elmo’s, breakfast.
If we go by when the term was coined, June of 1985, breakfast club wouldn’t count either because it was released February of 1985. But clearly both films are regarded as brat pack movies.
@@cidlopez I suppose so. Sixteen Candles was much funnier.
I was in my mid 20's when The Breakfast Club came out. I liked it then. I still like it now. If I have one criticism it's the music soundtrack is dated. With the exception of Simple Minds, it's a bad 80's synth music. I'd say Ferris Bueller's day off is a way better John Hughes movie but technically not a "brat pack movie" I guess?
That is a gen x movie. No way could a kid now days relate to it. Unless they think that it was as simple as that to solve their social angst. That was a beautiful time lost. Cells have made it soo much harder than a face to face. 😢
Rob is still so 🔥 Damn Hot 🔥
Maybe Rob Lowe was too good looking for John Hughes.
I thought the BP were full of old people that did drugs and smoked to much but never thought they were only 5 or 6 years older than me .
The Brat Pack name wasn’t great, but all of the actors were.
"When do the superheroes show up?" Yep, Mr. Lowe, there are some really dumb films being made now.
Breakfast Club is a good move (not a great movie), St Elmo’s Fire is a TERRIBLE movie.
Why didn't Rob go to jail for that video with an underaged girl. Why does everyone forget about that. He's not a good person.
Because technically nothing illegal happened according to Georgia state law. (Law was later changed).
Probably because he met two girls at a bar, one of whom lied about her age...and he had good lawyers.
Boring then. Boring now.
Breakfast Club is an awful movie. Hughes’ worst.
I don't think it's awful but I do think it's a little overrated. Hughes is known for writing teenaged characters in a believable way but a lot of it is very pretentious and farfetched. The Breakfast Club was no exception. Aspects of it were very good and the acting in general was solid. But other parts of it, to me, were ridiculous. Even back when I saw it for the first time in 1985.
Your lame
The brat pack is Rob Lowe, Emilio estevez, Judd Nelson, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Ally sheedy, Anthony Michael hall and Molly ringwald.
That’s it.
And Mare w.
pejorative. 😶need to look that one up! 😜.
I know right 🤔🤷
