when 90% of the film is the characters sitting and talking and its INCREDIBLE and not boring at any moment - that's when you know it is one of the best films of all time.

So that's what Archie's mom did in high school.

"Judd Nelson (25), Molly Ringwald (16), Emilio Estevez (22), Anthony Michael Hall (16), Ally Sheedy (22)"

The Breakfast Film is a timeless masterpiece - John Hughes man...what an incredible filmmaker. The fact that a teen high school movie made in 85 can still be relatable to young people today is amazing. Utterly perfect ;)

This was the movie that showed us that teen movies could be tender, emotionally charged, and could connect with viewers in a way that made them feel understood Then four years later someone made "Heathers", which showed us that teen movies could be very dark surreal murder fantasies, and the teen genre was basically destroyed

John Hughes wrote this in two days!! He was crazy talented, I think you'd love going down the John Hughes rabbit hole and react to Ferris Bueller & 16 Candles (My personal fav)

Dialogue driven movies like this are done sooooo well

The perks of being a wallflower is a movie I definitely think you would enjoy !! ❤️

One of my favorite movies. It’s a movie that should never be remade. Perfect as it is.

have you seen Ferris Bueller's day off? its insane! you should react to it at some point if you haven't.

You calling all of the characters cute was literally me watching it for the first time

Joe I'm trying to study!

The actor for Carl the Janitor is only 3 years older than Judd Nelson (John Bender).

you should react to My Girl and Perks of Being a Wallflower

The difference between this movie and 99% of teen films today is that John Hughes actually listens to his characters and takes them seriously, like they have something legitimate to say. They're not just props for the next comedic gag. He actually liked teenagers. Tell me the makers of American Pie felt the same way. You can't. Great reaction.

Another classic you should react to if you haven't from this era is Dead Poet's Society. Such a great movie and similar in the ensemble cast of such well done characters in a movie that's not fancy or actiony but just brilliantly written/directed/filmed/acted/etc.

John Hughes movies are big with the character honesty. Really sets them apart from most stuff now.

It's so classic because the characters are made to be so relatable with the same school and family dramas you can relate to no matter the decade

Now that you've seen this, you're going to see the references and influences it's had over the decades. Your perception of the film industry has changed forever.

If he gets to stand up, we'll all stand up. It'll be anarchy!

Definitely a classic🙌🏾✨😌

This is my all time favourite film. I watched it as a teenager at just the right time in my life for it to really speak to me. I have watched this so many times that I can pretty much quote any part of it without any prompt from the film. The characters are so easily relatable and everyone can identify with at least one character, if not more because their stories are timeless. The strength of this film is the characters and every actor portrayed them so perfectly. Ideal casting, ideal script (of which there were many) and ideal direction. Every aspect was perfect.

Joe, did you notice Claire is Archie's Mom in Riverdale?? 😁👍

If you haven't already seen it My So-Called Life would be a great series to react to. It is only one season.

I found her hotter as dark emo hair covering face silent instead of how Claire made her over so superficial so yeah... And I have watched the full reaction and it was great mate! Lol you should do 16 candles is watch that for Anthony Michael Hall scenes alone in that movie

I think Emilio Esteves looked more like a HS student than Judd Nelson

This film is more nostalgic for me than any other. I was in Grade 11 when it came out and it was very representative. When we saw this movie we saw ourselves. High school had very defined sub-groups. People gravitated to one of those 5 clicks with fairly minimal interaction between them. We all knew a Brian, Andrew, Claire, Allison, and Bender. High school seems far more tolerant these days and people have more freedom to be themselves. Back then there was tremendous pressure to fit one of those molds.

A powerful teen movie from the late great John Hughes. Great cast aswell as thoughtful and insightful plot.Simple Minds theme track wonderful too.

My favourite film ever, glad to see you like it. :)

Ally Sheedy suggested they put that David Bowie quote into the film somewhere and she didn’t know they even used it until the film’s premiere

Omg! I never thought I’d see somebody react to this bc it’s such an iconic film!! So stoked to see you react to this!

I fucking love this movie so much

Yesss, I am sooooo excited for you to watch this!

I think I remember that since it's mostly set in the same location, they shot it pretty much in sequence, which is rare

That season 2 episode of Sex Education where the girls are stuck in detention seems familiar now.

One of my favorite movies!

Yes! You have no idea how happy I was to see this

P.S. My point about Andrew, is that he was younger than most HS students in Hollywood movies back then. There is a seen in Scary Movie where they literally say "a bunch if 30 year olds playing HS students", because that is how the movies were casted in 80's and 90's.

YES! The Breakfast Club is one of my favorite movies of all time and I loved your reaction to it. your reactions to all of the characters was priceless, love that you called them all cute because they are haha I'm so glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. it is perfect the way it is and I'm glad there is no sequel; it doesn't need one.

Breakfast Club: The best High School movie EVER made! Exactly like real life, and connects to EVERY stereotype, one (or more) of which we ALL fit into!

Have you seen Arsonic and Old Lace, My Fair Lady or Meet Me in St. Louis, or Trading Places? Also anyone else used to see this as a Scooby Doo origin story?

in a weird way, I always connected St. Elmo's Fire with The Breakfast Club's college years... Bender becomes a politician lol.

Welcome to the Allison Reynolds (Ally Sheedy) fan club.

My High School was like if you forgot your textbook, notebook, pen etc 3 times you also got detention! So i once got detention because i forgot things and sat there with someone who had sprayed graffiti, someone who had trashed a bench etc.

NICE! One of my all time favorites! Truly iconic.

Growing up I always thought that the principle was secretly benders father

Definitely one of my favorite classic movies even if im 20 and wasnt alive near the time this took place it still relates some teens now

Great reaction! You should do some reactions to other John hughes films like sixteen candles, uncle buck, trains planes and automobiles, absolute classics! The house that Jack build was brutal, but brilliant.

anyone else think ally sheedy looks like joana from skam espana in this? haha

The school was the same school that was used in Ferris bueller's day off and they were actually filmed at the same time. You can find the same posters in the hallways of both movies. Today the school has been turned into a police station.

2:19 -- The building itself is still there, but was converted into some sort of annex for the police department.

Since you liked Allison... She's in the TV show PSYCH as a villain.

OH MY GOD HOLY SHIT DUDE I'VE SEEN THIS MOVIE SO MANY TIMES & AS AN AMERICAN GUY WITH A DAD THAT EMBODIED BENDER IN HS I am SO happy to see you react to this! One of my My grandma on my dad's side & Molly's Grandma are cousin's actually! I also was pretty close to Johnson in HS too lol xD. This is one of the most ICONIC MOVIES OF ALL TIME! This movie also shows how HS students used to has some sort of respect & sort of fear of authority back in the day.

18:25 "Me when I get a strike on my channel. 💀" 🤣🤣🤣

John Hughes had each of the actors playing the kids come up with their own reasons for why they were in detention, and while they revealed some of the answers to the cast (for example, they all knew that John Bender pulled a fire alarm as a joke, and that Claire Standish skipped school and was caught), most of them had no idea about the other reasons (for example, none of them knew what Andy or Brian did, and absolutely it turned out that while they had been told a reason for Allison to be there, Ally Sheedy changed the answer to "nothing; I didn't have anything better to do" at the last minute, which is why they are all laughing). Anthony Michael Hall's revelation that it was a flare gun and not a handgun was an improvisation, and when Emilio Estevez laughs, its really him laughing.

Anthony Michael Hall now looks like he ate his character

I always considered St. Elmo's Fire the sequal to this movie, even though I know it wasn't. It just had a lot of the same characters. Lol

I'm so glad my high school girlfriend dragged me to go see this 35 years ago. She had already seen it with a friend, and they kept raving about it and quoting from it. (For some reason, that made me resist it initially.) Anyway, I of course loved it, and from that moment, I think we all knew we had seen something extraordinary, groundbreaking and timeless. OK, now go do 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' (1986) and 'Uncle Buck' (1989) - my two other favorite John Hughes films.

Holy shit no shit. Haven't even watched your reaction but gave you a thumbs up for watching 👍👍👍

One of my favorite movies! Love love this

Risky Business is one of the best teen movies of the eighties.

Such a classic movie. A few things that haven't aged too well but it's such a great movie, it's all set in one place and yet it never drags. Amazing.

The "teacher" is actually the principal. I think what y'all call the headmaster. Loved your reaction. :-)

This is such a funny movie!! I love Bender 😂

I love this movie! 🤩 Amazing how they managed to make a great movie out of teenagers in detention lol 😅

one of my favorite movie, discovered it quite late but somehow it made me nostalgic...

This movie was SO huge in the 80s. None of these actors were newcomers when they made this; every one of them had at least one extremely popular movie on their resume along with various TV shows. In fact, almost all of them had been in at least one *iconic* 80s movie before they even made this icon. You could do a pretty lengthy 80s movie festival of amazing films just by following the careers of the kids in this movie.

They are called the Breakfast Club because they all agreed to meet before school after this day of detention.

One of my favorite classics

For the record, when Anthony Michael Hall showed up in Edward Scissorhands --- a mere five years after The Breakfast Club --- audiences freaked out about what he looked like. So clearly an additional thirty years should freak anyone out.

If you haven't seen it already, you should watch "Some Kind Of Wonderful" which was the last of John Hughes' teen angst films and is amazing!

“If you keep talking over these best one liners....... ...... Vernon is gonna come walking in here”

I don't know if you realized it , but Bender from Futurama was born from this Bender. :)

I actually live a few towns over from where this school was, Maine North High School (its no longer a school) Its in Des Plaines Illinois.

Whenever I show someone this film I always ask them afterwards if they think the characters will remain friends or acknowledge each other after the films events. I've gotten 50/50 answers and I'm curious what everyone else thinks? Personally I think in a way their views of each other and the schools "social class" have been altered enough to where they would step up and at least nod at one another in the halls. Maybe not hang out after school though, that might be a stretch.

The perfect thing to wake up too😩

Yesssss I love this movie. So iconic and incredible. Alison is my favorite. If you liked this I recommend St Elmo's Fire. It has almost of the main cast it's more of an ensemble post college growing up movie. I love the music in this movie too.

1. The woman and little girl dropping of Brian are Anthony Michael Hall's real mother and sister. 2. When I was in High School detention was only an hour. Usually after school but never on Saturday. 3. The late Paul Gleason also played Beeks in Trading Places. A great first time/share HINT HINT. 4. When getting loaded Anthony Michael Halls reaction with the sunglasses is similar to his performance in Weird Science. 5. Gleason's reaction to Carl when he says fifty bucks is real it was supposed to be twenty bucks. 6. The acting was outstanding. 7. I love Ally Sheedy. Personally I liked her better GOTH. 8. If you catch it Andrew's dad is scoping out Allison as he's picking up Andrew.

I’m so glad you liked this!!!! It’s not a classic. I can’t be that old!

I have watched this movie so many times. I really enjoyed it.

Awesome reaction to an amazing film!

Just so you know when they say the reasons why they were here that was all completely improvised by the gang!! So talented

This video has been up for nine months and no one's mentioned that this predates Bart Simpson by four years? Weird. "Eat my shorts" wasn't something that Bart/The Simpsons made up, it was something that people already said. :) But yeah, this is what we did in high school in the 80s. You have to entertain yourself somehow without a computer in your pocket. Good catch on the filing cabinet slip continuity! I never noticed that before! I *wish* they'd make a Breakfast Club sequel, like The Breakfast Club: 40th High School Reunion. Set in 2025, all the same actors. Come on, universe, give it to us.

The actor who played John Bender (the rebel) played the teacher in the flashback episode of Riverdale

The breakfast club is just chefs kiss❤️👏🏾

"The Last American Virgin" classic 80s film, funny, good story line

The 80's! What a time! Back when people weren't so uptight and offended all the time.

Movie from my teens, that my kids watched too. It's still relevant! 😎

Check out St.Elmo’s Fire.. 3 of the same actors are in that movie (Bender,Alison,& Clarke). They play different characters of course. It’s also a Great movie & one of my favs from the 80’s. It follows the lives of a group of friends post College Graduation. Be the first to react to it!

Yes. Watching one of my favorite teenage movies.

One of my All time favourite movies

not sure if you do recommendations but i'd love it if you would react to Scream, Perks of Being A Wallflower, My Girl or Holes.

Goodfellas is so good, can’t wait to watch ur reaction to that

Good job love the vid. However I dont know why everyone keeps missing this but Vernon is NOT a teacher he is the (Vice) principal of the school. Hit he has his own office.

One of my top 5 films of all time

You have to watch sixteen candles next!

I enjoyed watching Bringing Up Baby, which is way old school.

**INTERESTING FACTS** The NERD in this video at the beginning of the movie where his mother and little sister drop him off at the school THAT IS HIS REAL MOM AND REAL SISTER and the Wrestler His Brother is CHARLIE SHEEN and his father is MARTIN SHEEN both famous actors. The Crazy girl in the back is actually BEAUTIFUL but they make her look like a bag lady in this movie. She was in the old movie WAR GAMES with Matthew Broadrick and she was in ST ELMOS FIRE . The NERD and the CLAIR the RICH GIRL played in a bunch of movies together in the 80's ( 16 CANDLES PRETTY IN PINK ) THe wrestler was also in a lot of movies and in my opinion his best movie is with DEMI MOORE in the movie he wrote called WISDOM AND SPOILER ALLERT *AN EASTER EGG FIND* CARL THE GANITOR actually went to the High School this movie is filmed in AND at the beginning where they show high school pictures HE IS THE GUY WITH THE HANDSOM FACE AND AWESOME 80's HAIR and he was voted in his class in real life MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED WHICH HE DID SUCCEDD in life as he was a good actor and producer but here in this movie he is just a janitor. AT THE END OF THE MOVIE the DAD that picks up the NERD in the red car THAT IS THE WRITTER AND DIRECTOR OF THIS MOVIE

Loved this film
