Released in 1985, it takes place almost entirely inside a high school library during a single Saturday detention. No action scenes, no elaborate plot twists, just five teenagers talking.

Look, I know that I am going to be in the minority when I say this because this is likely one of the most celebrated movies of the 80's but this guy, is not a fan. I love this really poor translation by the way. The Breakfast Club is extremely iconic and at least back when it was first released it was either this or Pretty in Pink that everyone was gaga about. I didn't really care for either. Perhaps it is because t…More
