Five different highschool students are sentenced to Saturday detention and directed to each write an essay explaining who they think they are. “The Breakfast Club” is a 1985 film directed by John Hughes starring actors Judd Nelson (Bender), Molly Ringwald (Claire), Ally Sheedy (Allison), Anthothy Micheal Hall (Brian), Emilio Estevez (Andrew), and Paul Gleason (Mr. Vernon). The movie captures the day of five teens who have all day detention on a Saturday, each of them for different reasons and instructed to stay in their seats and write an essay. “The Breakfast Club” has a rating of 7.8/10 on IMDb but often receives a 10/10 from highschool students and young adults. The film has a storyline that is easy to follow and keeps viewers watching. Interesting scenes and incredible character development also contribute to its high rating. Throughout the movie viewers hear some familiar music such as “Don't You (Forget About me)” by Simple Minds. Keith Forsey, the creator of the soundtrack, picked great songs to add style and emotion to the film. Apart from the musical effects, the movie has an incredible design aspect with cartoon-like chase scenes and silly dance scenes. The overall plot of the movie is also intriguing and relatable, being considered one of the “finest movies about American high-school…” (Britannica). This movie is without a doubt one of the most popular and well liked movies from people all over and has a great meaning while also being interesting and fun. I personally give this film a rating of 9.5/10.
