We are on the Northside of Chicago in Des Plaines checking out filming locations of the John Hughes 80s classic The Breakfast Club, which was primarily filmed in one location - a former high school (Maine North High School) that now houses the Illinois State Police headquarters. We also visit the real life Shermer High School, which was John Hughes actual high school and a filming location in Ferris Bueller's Day Off - Glenbrook North High School in Northbrook, IL. The Breakfast Club was released in February 15th, 1985, making it 36 years old!

I'm pushin' 50, and _The Breakfast Club_ is still my favorite movie of all time. There have been some close competitors, but I keep coming back to _universal adolescent experience._

Mrs. Geekdom, you have done an excellent job screen-matching this iconic shot. If you go to various movie location websites, as I'm sure you have, there is an incredible amount of disagreement regarding at which school this scene was filmed. Your screen matchup at 4:35 (now) and 4:36 (then) captures the roofline of the school and the windows just below the roofline, in the background to the left of the bleachers, and it is clearly the same location. The debate is over, thank you. And I too have watched this movie a hundred times, and I also did not see the goal line in the grass as he was fist-pumping. Stay golden.

@razwanakram4446 3 года назад

@mikemimmo77 2 года назад

Just a heads up. The football field was on the left side of the school if you are in front of the school looking at the front steps. The houses Behind you while you are talking about the field is where it was. 🙂 Thanks for the video. Took me back. I lived about a mile away and snuck into the school while they were building the set. Wasn’t hard until they started filming!!

@jessicaross6598 3 года назад

I currently go to Glenbrook North so watching this was cool. The street Ferris is driving down is the street I drive down to go to school and those steps that Sloane walks down lead to the auditorium. I always love watching the scene from the movie.

@TheMagicGeekdom 3 года назад

That's so cool! It would be cool to have any movie filmed at your school, but such an iconic movie like Ferris Bueller would take the cake. Thanks for watching!

@HiSpeedDrifter Год назад

Thanks. I watched the edited movie once or twice decades ago. I liked it even though the edited version is not nearly as good. I didn't appreciate just how brilliant it was until later. I didn't watch it for about 25 years. Then, about 6 years ago, I rediscovered it. Not only have I watched the unedited version many times, but I have watched about 70 stage versions of it. I love to see the different approaches the other actors take. There are versions from middle school on up to university. And, there are professional stage productions. Maybe, I will check this location out at some point.

For what it's worth, if he was walking past the goal post, he'd be in the back of the end zone walking off the field instead of walking across the goal line.

@KimberlyJayne228 Год назад

So shermerville is the original name for Northbrook. The name was changed at turn of the last century to give the town a fresh start since it was known for its abundance of taverns ( recalling from NBK historical society trip from 4th grade ). The new name comes from the north branch of the Chicago river which cuts through downtown. Trivia: Mrs Hughes was a librarian at GBN, she was still there when I was in HS (84-88)

@jamiefactor6598 Год назад

Thanks for the history information! I grew up in Northbrook well I still live here. I just graduated and am going to college in 2 weeks.

Wow! That was a nice little breakfast club segment. One of my all-time favorite films from John Hughes next to plane trains and automobiles from John Hughes. I didn't realize that the library was a built set for filming, not an actual library. Thanks for teaching me that! This was really really cool thanks for the information about the fist pump scene. I always thought about that fist pump. John Bender (Judd Nelson) had a rough life. And wasn't very happy as we could see. But That kiss with Claire Standish (Molly Ringwald) was probably the best thing that happened to him in years. He had to at least give a fist pump up by the football goal. That was the touchdown of his life! Thanks so much for sharing! 🙂👍

@compudude86 Год назад

I used to work all over the North shore back around '08 or so when I worked for Comcast, and again around 2015 when I worked for a pool company. Was pretty cool seeing a lot of the filming locations. I remember watching it one day not long ago and seeing all the old apartment buildings in the background and realizing I worked inside many of them. Also briefly remember going inside as a young kid with my parents to the lottery office, but had no clue what the breakfast club was until many years later. Worked in the building where ferris buellers mom worked. Also, crazy that the Bundy home from Married with children is within the same universe as all the John Hughes buildings in Deerfield
