A brain. An athlete. A basket case. A princess. A criminal. All forced to spend a Saturday detention together for various infractions. With practically nothing to say to each other upon arrival, they soon learned they had more in common than they thought. The Breakfast Club is John Hughes' masterpiece, with an A-list cast and a powerful theme song (why Billy Idol turned it down I have no idea), he takes a realistic delve into the world of the modern teenager via group therapy, asking the most vital question - what happens Monday morning?

Don't you forget about me was my high school prom theme song. 1986 Madison Connecticut. It's amazing how many things have changed from the mid 80's till these photos were taken. I ran into a towering Anthony Michael Hall at a movie theater on Broadway and 84 th a while back. I emptied my bucket to him. Nice guy
ReplyDeleteYeah, sadly so many locations from older movies have changed. But at least the building is still there. That's cool you ran into Anthony Michael Hall.
