Today topic will be over a film that is talked about quite a lot on this site: The Breakfast Club. There really isn't much I can say about this film except that it is excellent in every way. It totally epitomizes what the 80s teen film is about. This is the goddess, if you will, of the 80s teen film. I cannot single out anyone particular scene, because they are all so good.

What I would like to know in today's discussion is what is your favorite thing about this movie? Is it the characters, the subject matter or what about this film does it for you?

For me, it shows what a good movie should be all about :
  • no helicopters
  • no fights where the hero appears to hang in mid-air
  • no guys getting shot and it not hurt (but they wince when the beautiful girl dabs the wound with a cloth)
  • no huge explosions that flatten seven acres but the hero walks away from the detonation point with barely a scratch and neat hair

Instead it has :
  • small, manageable location
  • handful of very good actors
  • strong characterisation and believable storyline
  • excellent musical score
  • greatest quotes, and
  • The Joke Without A Punchline

That's all.
