Oh for sure, no doubt I watched that movie 30+ times growing up. Every time I saw my older brother (who didn't live with me), he'd be like "wanna watch Breakfast Club?" Good times :)
@@JoeBuck207 no it isn't, this is considered more iconic cos its what's known as a bottle episode in TV where the whole movie takes place within the confines of one location over the course of one single day featuring characters representing five major social groups of both school society and in some ways society in general and the story arc of them beginning by having zero in common as they are forced to convene and finishing by them having bonded as friends in their own ways. It's a very simple story, very focused and straightforward with a clear story arc and hence it gets remembered the most. Sixteen Candles is a fairly generic teen romance drama more or less and thus less noteworthy.
Interesting you would bring that up but I think if there's an actor that could be a seamless substitute for each other, it would bet these two. It's arguable who had the bigger career as the laundry list of movies John has done aren't really high profile but he has worked more than Judd, either by choice or popularity in the course to public opinion.
also no one could in anyway couple up john bender and ally sheedys character if it was john and joan cusack, i love the main couples but i know some fans prefer that too. and if they were both played by siblings i'd never even want that as a couple even if the characters weren't related, but also i agree judd was perfect for the role
Best time to be a teen - we had a constant guidebook for navigating our emotions thanks to John Hughes and these wonderful people. I wouldn't trade being a teen in the 80's for anything.
So I met Anthony about 15 years ago at a convention. He signed my 'Breakfast Club' DVD and I told him it's my dream to get it fully signed one day. He looked at me and said, "Well, how about four out of five?" I was like, "Huh?" and he asked, "Did you see the Oscars tribute to John Hughes? Did you notice ONE of us was NOT THERE?" It was then that I understood that I'd be lucky to get four of the five. I wish Emilio would get off his high horse, be a little more humble and appreciate his fans more.
I've met them all in the past and the only one who was very impersonal was Molly Ringwald. She was humorless...I dont know if she was having a bad day or what but she was not mean exactly but she wasn't nice and seemed a bit preachy and kind of full of herself. It was awkward. I remember when she left several people who met her all said the same thing...everyone was like "Ok..that woman seriously needs a little laughter in her life" I hope she was just having a bad day...hate to think she is that way all the time
PREACH Sparky!! I LOVED John Hughes films BECAUSE… Yes, they were basically “Young Adult” books that they made into movies instead of books. His movies DID NOT ASSUME the watcher was some idiot kid, but a YOUNG ADULT! That we were Adults in Training, still learning about life, how relationships work, the beginnings of REAL responsibilities to come and that we were THINKING and LEARNING part of society! And the movies coming out of Hollywood now are just GARBAGE! I miss John Hughes and his stories…
Graduated high school in '85, what an awesome era to grow up in. Breakfast Club and Fast Times at Ridgemont High were my favorite 80's comedies. Happy to see all of these actors are still healthy and happy today. Too bad Emilio couldn't be there to complete the group.
1984. June 1. 40 years ago almost. Where did the years go? RIP Jon. You said I would regret not going to prom. I still don't. I regret I didn't renew our friendship before you passed at 47.
I'm 52, and these are my heroes. The brat pack. Molly still looks amazing! Ally Sheedy is still one of my crushes from the 80's. "Stephanie, nice software" Never thought that the little nerd would grow up to be a beast. Anthony, you're still the man!
Watching this movie will immediately transport you back to the wonderful 80’s ,especially if your gen x..this was our time…Love all John Hughes movies ,classics
John Hughes was such a genius, truly one of the all-time great comedy writer/directors, if not the greatest. He wrote and directed The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Planes Trains and Automobiles, and Uncle Buck, to name a few. He wrote National Lampoon's Vacation. He wrote Home Alone. The list goes on and on. I have left out several of his hits. It's such a shame he died so young. He was only 59 when he died of a heart attack.
"You see us how you want to see us" is the quote that helped me as a young man not care about other's opinions. You can do whatever in your power to convince others of who you are but at the end of the day people will see you how they want to see you. Therefore don't bother trying to convince anyone, just be you and live your life to the fullest!
I remember that last line, but you know I never really payed that close attention to it! It is a great line! “A jock, a criminal, a basket case, a princess (or was it Prom Queen?), and a brain!”
I’ve seen the movie several times and that line is amazing, but I just watched it again about a week ago and I really listened to that line again as an older adult now it has even more meaning now!
Breakfast Club is my favorite movie of all time. Seeing these actors middle age, as I am now approaching middle age, brings back a part of my identity that I tend to forget because life gets boring and stressful, etc. It’s a snapshot of youth that we all need to remember from time to time. Life then wasn’t easy either but youth is this tremendous gift 🎁 Honestly, if this movie was always on at “the home,” I would sit and watch every showing with my knitting! 💫
So happy I was able to attend Steel City Con and meet Ally, Anthony, Judd and Molly. They signed my Breakfast Club movie poster and hopefully one day Emilio can sign it. It will be hanging in my 1980’s themed Man Cave ‼️‼️
I was in a group home as a "tween" and one of our rewards for good behavior was to be able to watch The Breakfast Club. I was hooked from the first watch. There weren't people who look like me but the raw portions helped me thrive. ❤❤❤
I thought he was so funny as a child actor, I use to wonder why he didn’t do more comedies as an adult, and I get it that actors may not want to be type cast, but he was so funny in those days!
One of the best films of the 1980s! I can still watch this film today and still enjoy it! It's a timeless classic. A brilliant performance by all of these talented actors. Molly Ringwald was also a great dancer as well. I'll never forget sitting down with my family and watching this film. Great memories and times. I met Jud Nelson at Book Soup in West Hollywood years ago and he was a first-class gentleman! I thanked him for the Breakfast Club and he was grateful. I feel not only lucky to have grown up in the 1980s, but, also terminally cool and forever youthful.
As a born and raised Chicagoan only a few years younger than these folks.. this was amazing. We lost John way too soon. I would love to have seen more of his work. RIP Mr .Hughes
yes it does , because I was the Aly of my high school . I am 62 and watching this movie made me realize that everyone has a story. I went to my 10 year reunion and only about 5 of the cheerleaders and Claire's attended. All the rest of us had a great time and without the stigma anymore.
Very cool of them to do this... Such an iconic movie that means so much to so many of us that grew up in the 80's... It's still one of my all time favorite soundtracks!!
When my son was about 20 I showed him The Breakfast Club. He didnt really say much about it whether he liked it or not, didn't say either way. Then fast forward about a couple of years and we are in a store and happen across a Breakfast Club Tshirt that he to this day at age 25 still wears. So Im guessing he liked this movie as much as the rest of us 80's kids do! Made me proud that my son has such good taste!
Yeah I tried asking Ally and Michael about what song they shot the dancer number to. They didn't remember but Judd did. He said it was One Step Behind by Madness.
Judd Nelson had the best "behind the scenes" info on the making of the film. Fascinating recollection and paying homage to John Hughes was very classy of him.
LOVE the Breakfast Club !!! Love the song, "Don't You Forget about Me" ( My son is in an 80's band in Pennsylvania, they end every gig with that song💜).
What’s unique about The Breakfast Club is as a viewer you likely felt a direct connection to one character but you also connected in part to every single character.
Yes, that was my biggest takeaway I think because you at least knew each of those characters or encountered them in school! It was a brilliant film about each stereotype as being venerable when confronted with the truth!
Much to my surprise, I felt a deep connection to the Claire character. After many years of agonizing, I’m proud to say I’m now fully transitioned and changed my name from Clarence to Claire. I’m just totally living my best life! Thank you Molly Ringwald!
When Molly Ringwald mentions that Rick Moranis was originally the janitor in Breakfast club, then Hughes went with actor John Kapelos, who ended up being the janitor we see in the movie, Anthony Michael Hall interjects that John Kapelos was also in 16 candles, where Kapelos played Molly's older sister's husband "Rudy" in 16 candles, it should also be noted John Kapelos was also in yet another Hughes movie, "Weird Science", where Kapelos played "Dino" the Greek" in the scene in Weird Science where "Gary" gets drunk and sings the blues the night Lisa took him and Wyatt out to "Kandy Bar" where Dino is the owner.
I don't know how or when, but I did know that the janitor was also the trashy soon to be husband of Mollys characters sister. He was very good for a small role, real sleezy.
I was born in 1983. I was lucky enough to make it all the way through highschool without a cellphone. Although they were in existence, none of us had them. They weren't widespread yet. None of us grew up with them. I am so grateful for that. As far as "The Breakfast Club" is concerned, My mom showed it to me when I was 15, and has always been a favorite in our family.❤
Maybe I'm an exception to the rule, but I graduated college in 2001 without having a cell phone....and nobody at my high school carried a cell phone before then
I taught English at a public high school in 2016 to 2017. I let my juniors (born in 2000) watch The Breakfast Club on the day before a holiday break. They loved it. They were really into Judd Nelson's character (Bender) lol.
Oh man....I really can't stop smiling. It's soo good to see them all again. This was fantastic and I would have watched 3 hours or more of this. One of my all time favorite movies and what a great cast. I actually graduated high school in 85 and this movie resonated so well with me and my friends. Just so on point!!
That was really fun to watch. We're celebrating our 40th highschool reunion this fall so we're all pretty big fans of this movie. I loved that movie!!!!! I ran into Judd Nelson at The Aurora Mall (Aurora Colorado) just after Saint Elmo's Fire... Weird right? He was HUGE and here he is walking through a mall with someone else (security guard maybe?)....I said to him "You're Judd Nelson!" and he responded "Well yes I am...." and that was it! We smiled and went on our way. No phones then, but I'll never forget this mega movie star walking through the mall.
80's rocked❤Molly Ringwald keeps Interrupting Judd Nelson and correcting him. Thank God for Anthony Michael Hall for comedy relief. There's definitely a little Claire in Molly Ringwald 😅 Shelley was very much like her character. She's kind of quiet. I was hoping she'd speak more.
Anthony Michael Hall and Judd Nelson still look absolutely amazing after almost 40 years!! They have definitely aged gracefully and will probably still look awesome in another 40 years!
This movie became a ritual amongst my friends and I. Every Saturday night after the bar closed, we would head over to a buddy's house, continue to drink and watch this movie. We watched so often we all knew all the lines and would recite them while watching. To change things up, we decided to have each of us draw a character name from a hat and we would act out that character. Yes we were idiots, but we had fun.
I can’t believe what you said. Unreal. Wow. Let me explain- there was a period, spanning several months, if not a cold season or two, (around 1991? 92? I think) where some 6-7-8 of my people would gather in my friend’s and girl friend’s apartment every Monday night, just to watch the movie. But not just watch the movie. We’d (loosely) play a “game” to see who could recite all the dialogue as it goes. Meanwhile, we’d be drinking or doing shots or something. I think the drinking was barely tied in as penalties to the game. It was casual, not childish. So! To read your comment really f’n floored me!! But I guess it’s really totally possible we weren’t the only ones to socialize in this way about the movie. It’s just, it never occurred to me until I read your comment. Thank you, friend.
At least once in my life, I'd love to go to Steel Comic Con. Being able to watch this in the comfort of my home is amazing and thank you!! The 80s were my childhood ❤️
I remember the first time I saw The Breakfast Club was Starz or HBO back in like 1998, and the first thing I thought was "Awesome! There's Coach Bombay from The Mighty Ducks!" Both Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy look AMAZING! They have aged REALLY well. 😊❤️ And I LOVE that someone brought up New Jack City!
This panel is awesome. Loved this movie. Saw it when it came out, loved it then, love it still. Saw 16 candles the year before. Classic teen movies for the 80s. We just needed Emilio for this .
this is awesome thank you so much!!! Anthony Michael is such a character, could watch and listen to him all day long!! No wonder why i loved him so much in all these movies and Vacation.
March 24 2024 my buddies and I had a John Hughes reunion movie marathon starting with Breakfast Club..We came from the 80s ..We came out of the best decade ever
@@hobowithawaterpistol9070 I think I've made a friend.. There are so many great moments in the John Hughes library of funny lines and memorable characters.. Some Kind of Wonderful, in my opinion lhas the best ending in all his films..The 80s was a great time..
Ahhhhhh!!! It's The Breakfast Club!!! Their like the epitome of an acting 80s rock group! Thank you so so so much for this upload! Judd!!!!! We love You!!!!!!!❤🩷🙏🏼
John Hughes was a genius filmmaker. It's no exaggeration that his films are in part responsible for who I became as an adult. The influence of his movies was (and I hope still is for next generations) vast.
This was my teenage movie. Gen X.....It appealed to everyone. I have watched it over the years at various points in my life and it still takes me back. The genius of it is that no matter who you were in high school at that time, you identified with one or all of the characters. I feel glad we had that time, and I feel sad for those kids today that don't know that time.
If "The Breakfast Club" were revisited today as a movie with the original actors, then no doubt Anthony Michael Hall's character would NOT be bullied and pushed around by the other characters.
I met Molly in Santa Monica on 3rd street when she was filming Pretty in Pink. She was sitting on one of those director type chairs. She was so sweet. We are the same age. I shook her hand and got her autograph. Wish I still had it 39ish years later. I saw The Breakfast Club in the theater. Loved it.
This was my era and these were my people growing up. John Hughes was absolutely amazing in his story telling and his ability to be in touch with youth culture back then. 16 candles, breakfast club. True classics.
This is great! It feels like I'm watching friends I grew up with. Such great memories of The Breakfast Club & all of John Hugh's movies. The 80's were a wonderful time to be a teenager. I have many good memories of that decade. Seems like things have gotten way more crazier over the last 40 years.
Loved this movie because it touched so many teens lives in the 80's. It's timeless still today. Loved seeing these actors on Psych. They are frozen in time but glad to see they can come out and talk highly about this experience.
This brought back memories. I was a metal head and never admitted to my friends that i loved this movie. I remember being enlightened by the film. Simply knowing someone's story changes your perception. You understand them better.

Breakfast Club is one of those movies you can watch over and over again. It is timeless.
Yeah those were good days back then... I find these reunions really interesting. Geez, it's hard for kids these days.
It's far from timeless, it's very much tied to the 1980s but I know what you mean.
Oh for sure, no doubt I watched that movie 30+ times growing up. Every time I saw my older brother (who didn't live with me), he'd be like "wanna watch Breakfast Club?" Good times :)

I LOVE John Cusack, but no one else could've played Bender like Judd Nelson.
I agree
Interesting you would bring that up but I think if there's an actor that could be a seamless substitute for each other, it would bet these two. It's arguable who had the bigger career as the laundry list of movies John has done aren't really high profile but he has worked more than Judd, either by choice or popularity in the course to public opinion.

John Hughes was such a genius, truly one of the all-time great comedy writer/directors, if not the greatest. He wrote and directed The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Planes Trains and Automobiles, and Uncle Buck, to name a few. He wrote National Lampoon's Vacation. He wrote Home Alone. The list goes on and on. I have left out several of his hits. It's such a shame he died so young. He was only 59 when he died of a heart attack.
In 2009 is when he died.
Sixteen Candles
The worst part is when he was visiting family members in NYC, he died while he was out for a walk by himself on a street in midtown Manhattan. 😖
John Hughes and Steven Spielberg are the two directors that really got me into movies as a kid.
He also wrote Mr Mom and the original Vacation.
I just love that The Breakfast Club is still relevant today and still resonates with so many people. Wish Emilio could have made it.
Absolutely gorgeous

He looks better when he has Michael next to him acting obnoxiously.

Judd Nelson had the best "behind the scenes" info on the making of the film. Fascinating recollection and paying homage to John Hughes was very classy of him.
LOVE the Breakfast Club !!!
Love the song, "Don't You Forget about Me" ( My son is in an 80's band in Pennsylvania, they end every gig with that song💜).
Oh that is so cool!! I’m a singer as well and that sounds so fun ❤and I’m from Pennsylvania:)
My favorite song from the best time (summer 1985) of my life.
@@thenightporter me too!!!
What’s unique about The Breakfast Club is as a viewer you likely felt a direct connection to one character but you also connected in part to every single character.
I could personally relate to all of them except Molly Ringwalds character. I knew people in high school that were like her so I could relate to all.
Yes, that was my biggest takeaway I think because you at least knew each of those characters or encountered them in school! It was a brilliant film about each stereotype as being venerable when confronted with the truth!
Much to my surprise, I felt a deep connection to the Claire character. After many years of agonizing, I’m proud to say I’m now fully transitioned and changed my name from Clarence to Claire. I’m just totally living my best life! Thank you Molly Ringwald!
That's the genius of this movie. Most of us are not one of these characters, but a little bit of two or three or more. Hughes was a visionary.
When Molly Ringwald mentions that Rick Moranis was originally the janitor in Breakfast club, then Hughes went with actor John Kapelos, who ended up being the janitor we see in the movie, Anthony Michael Hall interjects that John Kapelos was also in 16 candles, where Kapelos played Molly's older sister's husband "Rudy" in 16 candles, it should also be noted John Kapelos was also in yet another Hughes movie, "Weird Science", where Kapelos played "Dino" the Greek" in the scene in Weird Science where "Gary" gets drunk and sings the blues the night Lisa took him and Wyatt out to "Kandy Bar" where Dino is the owner.
I don't know how or when, but I did know that the janitor was also the trashy soon to be husband of Mollys characters sister. He was very good for a small role, real sleezy.
The line “She’s into Malaka’s Dino.” That scene was a riot!!!
@@Atomykpimp Lmao, I love that line
@@Atomykpimpyou wrote it so I don't have to but that was the best line.
@@julesfalcone agreed!!!
So thankful to have been a teen entirely throughout the 80’s…because we were the last decade without cell phones!!!
Payphones, house phones were the 80s.
I was born in 1983. I was lucky enough to make it all the way through highschool without a cellphone. Although they were in existence, none of us had them. They weren't widespread yet. None of us grew up with them. I am so grateful for that.
As far as "The Breakfast Club" is concerned, My mom showed it to me when I was 15, and has always been a favorite in our family.❤
Maybe I'm an exception to the rule, but I graduated college in 2001 without having a cell phone....and nobody at my high school carried a cell phone before then
Many thanks to Judd, Anthony, Ally, Molly and everyone involved with both the panel and the video! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you! RIP John Hughes.
My wife and I met for the first time at The Breakfast Club - still together!
I taught English at a public high school in 2016 to 2017. I let my juniors (born in 2000) watch The Breakfast Club on the day before a holiday break. They loved it. They were really into Judd Nelson's character (Bender) lol.
Anthony michael hall was part of so many classic 80s films!
And who knew he would turn out to be so handsome??
He was also in Edward Scissorhands in the 90s. So many classics.
@@davidstanley9543weird science is my go to movie
The dude is definitely 80's personified.
Johnny B Goode with Robert Downey Jr was epic.
Oh man....I really can't stop smiling. It's soo good to see them all again. This was fantastic and I would have watched 3 hours or more of this. One of my all time favorite movies and what a great cast. I actually graduated high school in 85 and this movie resonated so well with me and my friends. Just so on point!!
That was really fun to watch. We're celebrating our 40th highschool reunion this fall so we're all pretty big fans of this movie. I loved that movie!!!!! I ran into Judd Nelson at The Aurora Mall (Aurora Colorado) just after Saint Elmo's Fire... Weird right? He was HUGE and here he is walking through a mall with someone else (security guard maybe?)....I said to him "You're Judd Nelson!" and he responded "Well yes I am...." and that was it! We smiled and went on our way. No phones then, but I'll never forget this mega movie star walking through the mall.
Wow that should be exciting!
Wow about meeting him that’s so cool!!!! I love him lol
Took my high school sweetheart. To watch both saint elmos, fire. And the breakfast club. Back in '85
Did she melt?
@@hobowithawaterpistol9070 lol of course
@@carlosreyes6448 😀👍
Oh you mean like when I was being born? Lol
@@sabalianderson If you were in the 80’s, you’re in the cool club! You’re awesome, radical, and bodacious!
I was 15 years old...memories. The 1980's were the best time of my life. The greatest decade of the 20th century..IMHO
I was there!
Judd was amazing to meet!!!
I really like JN, and always followed his career. He's a unique type, and has his own gifts.
That’s great! I’ll bet it was a fun event!
Was great in fandango
@@kriszellers9718I’m so glad someone mentioned Fandango! He was so good and the ending saying goodbye friend is very surreal.
80's rocked❤Molly Ringwald keeps Interrupting Judd Nelson and correcting him. Thank God for Anthony Michael Hall for comedy relief.
There's definitely a little Claire in Molly Ringwald 😅 Shelley was very much like her character. She's kind of quiet. I was hoping she'd speak more.
Ally, not Shelley
My thoughts exactly
That was so awesome.
Thanks JH and rest in peace. You made ‘80s date night so much fun. It was so easy to have a conversation after the movie.
Anthony Michael Hall and Judd Nelson still look absolutely amazing after almost 40 years!! They have definitely aged gracefully and will probably still look awesome in another 40 years!
No one is Bender but Judd. This is one of those movies that I watch again and again. Thanx guys!
He was gorgeous!
This movie became a ritual amongst my friends and I. Every Saturday night after the bar closed, we would head over to a buddy's house, continue to drink and watch this movie. We watched so often we all knew all the lines and would recite them while watching. To change things up, we decided to have each of us draw a character name from a hat and we would act out that character. Yes we were idiots, but we had fun.
"Amongst my friends and I"? Learn proper grammar before writing again.
@@mikegarippo7815 Thank you Grammar Nazi
I see a movie in the making from just these few comments.
I can’t believe what you said. Unreal. Wow. Let me explain- there was a period, spanning several months, if not a cold season or two, (around 1991? 92? I think) where some 6-7-8 of my people would gather in my friend’s and girl friend’s apartment every Monday night, just to watch the movie. But not just watch the movie. We’d (loosely) play a “game” to see who could recite all the dialogue as it goes. Meanwhile, we’d be drinking or doing shots or something. I think the drinking was barely tied in as penalties to the game. It was casual, not childish.
So! To read your comment really f’n floored me!! But I guess it’s really totally possible we weren’t the only ones to socialize in this way about the movie. It’s just, it never occurred to me until I read your comment. Thank you, friend.
This was one of the greatest panels I've ever seen. Of course, I've seen the movie 300+ times and it can never get old. NEVER!
I wanted to hear more from Ally Sheedy. Her role started an entire genre of style that can still be seen in today’s generation.
Alison was def EMO long before it was a thing. That was the character I most identified with. Ally is brilliant.
Truth!
There were plenty of those types around already at the time.
Ally in Wargames and Judd in New Jack City are two of my favorite performances.
Judd Nelson, really sealed the deal with Bender. amazing performance.
At least once in my life, I'd love to go to Steel Comic Con. Being able to watch this in the comfort of my home is amazing and thank you!! The 80s were my childhood ❤️
I remember the first time I saw The Breakfast Club was Starz or HBO back in like 1998, and the first thing I thought was "Awesome! There's Coach Bombay from The Mighty Ducks!"
Both Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy look AMAZING! They have aged REALLY well. 😊❤️
And I LOVE that someone brought up New Jack City!
I'm 56 & My High School Life is a Combination of The Breakfast Club & Dazed & Confused.
I’m always “dazed and confused” first thing in the morning, so I totally get it.
Absolutely
Im 57 and yes!
This panel is awesome. Loved this movie. Saw it when it came out, loved it then, love it still. Saw 16 candles the year before. Classic teen movies for the 80s. We just needed Emilio for this .
this is awesome thank you so much!!! Anthony Michael is such a character, could watch and listen to him all day long!! No wonder why i loved him so much in all these movies and Vacation.
March 24 2024 my buddies and I had a John Hughes reunion movie marathon starting with Breakfast Club..We came from the 80s ..We came out of the best decade ever
Farmer Ted under the glass coffee table in 16 candles “Jaaaaaake!!!”

I think I've made a friend.. There are so many great moments in the John Hughes library of funny lines and memorable characters.. Some Kind of Wonderful, in my opinion lhas the best ending in all his films..The 80s was a great time..
You’re right, it was the best decade! 😂
They had such great chemistry then...and now. Love them all!
Ahhhhhh!!! It's The Breakfast Club!!! Their like the epitome of an acting 80s rock group! Thank you so so so much for this upload! Judd!!!!! We love You!!!!!!!❤🩷🙏🏼
There actually was an 80s rock group called the breakfast club. They had a huge hit In 87 called Right on Track
Thanks!
Thank you! You're awesome!
John Hughes was a genius filmmaker. It's no exaggeration that his films are in part responsible for who I became as an adult. The influence of his movies was (and I hope still is for next generations) vast.
This was my teenage movie. Gen X.....It appealed to everyone. I have watched it over the years at various points in my life and it still takes me back. The genius of it is that no matter who you were in high school at that time, you identified with one or all of the characters. I feel glad we had that time, and I feel sad for those kids today that don't know that time.
love Judd Nelson - still has his character and charm about him after all these years - and is getting pretty damn funny!
I met him at Comic Con about 6 months ago. Such a nice guy
One of my favorite movies when I was a kid. Great to see most of the cast back together.
If "The Breakfast Club" were revisited today as a movie with the original actors, then no doubt Anthony Michael Hall's character would NOT be bullied and pushed around by the other characters.
Yeah, he looks like he can handle himself....kinda like modern day Jaleel White.😄
Anthony Michael Hall
@@gardenlover9663 wrote, "Anthony Michael Hall"
Thank you! Correction made.
It would be interesting as high school still has a mixture of oddballs, just like real life.
“If”. According to Ringwald it wasn’t diverse. smh (they just can’t help themselves)
I met Molly in Santa Monica on 3rd street when she was filming Pretty in Pink. She was sitting on one of those director type chairs. She was so sweet. We are the same age. I shook her hand and got her autograph. Wish I still had it 39ish years later. I saw The Breakfast Club in the theater. Loved it.
Anthony Michael Hall doesn't need to apologize. He made it fun! It would have been boring with just the girls, Judd was fun too.
And those movies sure wouldn't have been all that great without him either✌
This was my era and these were my people growing up. John Hughes was absolutely amazing in his story telling and his ability to be in touch with youth culture back then. 16 candles, breakfast club. True classics.
Thank you for this, such a treat 😊
Its so nice to know the guy who wrote some of the greatest movies of all time was also a one of the nicest guys and loved by his cast . RIP JH .
I still find Ally Sheedy to be adorable.
I have before - I do now - and I always will. She has a face that'll melt the coldest heart.
A time and a place that one can only appreciate had you been there to live it: the 1980s
The 80s was definitely such an awesome time to live thru. I have such awesome memories from back then. ❤
I’m still shocked they got Molly. I never thought she’d do it. Doesn’t she live in Europe? steel city con is one of the best.
$$$$$
No she doesn't live in Europe
She lives with her husband and twins in upstate New York now.
But i think she used to live there for some time france if if i remember correctly.
@@migalorsdarwin1930 few years back
Little over 30 years early nineties but you are correct
Emilo is the one that never does the reunions. He was not present for the 25th, 30th, or this 40th.
This is great! It feels like I'm watching friends I grew up with. Such great memories of The Breakfast Club & all of John Hugh's movies. The 80's were a wonderful time to be a teenager. I have many good memories of that decade. Seems like things have gotten way more crazier over the last 40 years.
Ally Sheedy aging like a fine wine.
I came here to say she is just as fine as ever.
My crush from 1985 still stands
@@farrellmcnulty909she was great in St. Elmo’s Fire with Judd Nelson and Emilio Estevez. Their love triangle in that movie was well acted.
I'm liking Molly better
@@johng5710 I couldn't stand her in 1985, but age has certainly improved her. I love her now...but still not as much as Ally Sheedy.
They filmed Ferris Bueller at the same high school back to back with this movie
Didn’t know that! That’s a classic movie!
The 80’s Movies were THE BEST! I own many of the 80’s classics…
One of my fav movie of all times♥ Thanks to all of you!
Anthony Michael Hall has changed so much. Love all of these folks.
"Pretty in Pink" is still one of the best soundtracks eva!
This is awesome 😢❤love seeing them together again.
Anthony Michael Hall is hilarious man, lol. Great to see this group out there; 80's legends for sure!
OLDER THAN THIS GENERATION BUT APPRECIATED THE BRAT PACK GENRE!
The "brat pack" is Rob Lowe, Demi Moore etc. They're Boomers, just a bit older than us.
Loved this movie because it touched so many teens lives in the 80's. It's timeless still today. Loved seeing these actors on Psych. They are frozen in time but glad to see they can come out and talk highly about this experience.
Judd Nelson/John Bender makes that movie amazing!
This brought back memories. I was a metal head and never admitted to my friends that i loved this movie. I remember being enlightened by the film. Simply knowing someone's story changes your perception. You understand them better.
Iconic movie and every charactor was insanely good
I'm glad this showed up in my feed, I really enjoyed it.
