The_Sparkly _Artist mAybe she hates it because it taught her the only dance moves and she hates dancing, idk its 3 am and my brain is fucked so i guess maybe just ignore my rambling
Like everything else in the film, the dancing perfectly reflects the personalities of each character. Andrew dances aggressive, trying to show off his athletic ability, and also to prove he can "beat" the weed by getting hyper. Bender dances wild, losing himself in the moment to forget his problems. Claire dances cool, like she's at the school disco and everyone's watching her. Brian dances like a dork, because he's out of his element but still trying to join in. And Allison dances in an odd, completely unique way, partly because she has no interest in fitting in with the crowd, and partly because she secretly wants the attention.
lot of athletes with some pent up emotional problems get hyper when high. this is par for the course. you cant sit still because you afraid of being exposed. vulnerable. the sheild of the coool jock and your stats cant protect you. so you move around and try to get the focus off you by taking action.
Originally, the script called for Molly Ringwald to go out and dance by herself, but she was embarrassed to do it. So, director John Hughes told the rest of them to go out and dance with her. Who else was surprised to discover that Brian Johnson (Anthony Michael Hall) was actually the tallest of the bunch?
I can't relate to this movie. My high school days do not have these kind of people. These characters are bunch of weirdos. I can relate more to the movie "the edge of seventeen"
Yeah I don't get why I hear some people say it's not I went to high school late 2000s - early 10s and alot of the things in this movie - the cliques, the pressure, desire to fit in, asshole teachers were still relevant even though kids may be sucked into phones these days teen angst and peer pressure never goes away, in fact my mother was a teen in the 80s and was class of 84 and she has accounts on Facebook and Instagram and looks at her phone as much as teens do. Kids never change the messages of this movie are still as relevant as they'll ever be
@Sam Iam Yeah, I grew up with it and I can't imagine it being relatable today. I'm not criticizing the movie; I loved it at the time. But culture changes.
As a high school student, I’m watching it now. It’s cool being in the 80s and 90s because this generation is full of shithole especially tiktok users are cringe and nothing showing their private parts
as a teenager of this current day and age, it may only be me, but the majority of the stuff they talked about are still relevant to me anyway. I feel like the pressure, desire to fit in, stuff like those (the main talking point of the film) is largely part of our nature and instincts.
As a teen watching this, something I didn't realize until I was was much older was that the library would have REEKED of pot and there would be no way anyone would be able to come into that room for a long time without knowing exactly what they were doing.
The janitor, Carl, states in one scene he's like the eyes and ears of the institution. He's been through lockers, letters, etc. so he's likely seen Bender has pot, and most likely knows why and his living conditions/terrible relationship with parents, so I guess he lets it slide. Also, I highly doubt its the first time Bender has smoked in there.
There's a theory that everyone is just an imaginary character, made up by Ally Sheedy's character, that fits the ideal mold of each type of person in high school, i.e., the jock, the popular girl, the burn-out, and so on. That would explain why nobody smells smoke or hears the music or the breaking glass from a loud scream. It also explains how they all become friends and even couples over the span of a day. I believe it's supposed to express how Allison really wants to be, which is why she has the makeover done on her.
@@michaelharland5930 I think that stems from the delete scene that had Allison imagine everyone as something, as she comes off as a neurodivergent character who was clearly ignored by her parents, hence her issues with socializing. Definitely a theory made for fun, not one that is plausible/what John Hudges would make the film to be. They also are shown to be more then stereotypes, which is one of the main focuses of the film: How someone appears, but when you spend time with them, you see more, this was heavily shown in the Group Therapy. Speaking of which, you'd be surprised how fast some of the most unlikely people can become friends, even if temporarily. I have been in many classes, trips, holiday parties, etc. where I just made friends with some folks, even if it was just for a week or even one night. The reason why I relate this to the group therapy scene is because that scene asks IF they will stay friends more then if they are friends, like "what happens on monday." IRL, yes, these changes would (usually) take longer, but 1. It's a movie, gotta speed things up, a lot of symbolism. 2. Sometimes all people need is love. They all do change really, like Brian, he does fall in love with something, his essay. He didn't fulfill the requirements, he didn't obey anyone's rules, he stood up for himself and said exactly what he meant, and walked out in a jacket, not the nerdy sweater. I could say a lot more, but this comment is getting pretty long.😅
@@hakc97again These fellas dont follow the rules if they like to dance around the library and refuse to write the essay so if this was made today, they probably hide their phones from the teacher and use them throughout the entire detention when the principals not looking
@@hakc97again I would just tell him my phone is at home and hide it somewhere the Principal would never look I feel like you just dont wanna admit the 80s was the best time for teens rather than teens today
Small little detail but I like how they’re all color coordinated in a way. John wears red (the bad boy) Claire wears pink (the popular girl) Alison wears black (the silent weirdo) Brian wears Green (the geeky but intelligent one) Andrew wears Blue (the jock)
Films use color themes originally. Like in star wars.. heroes would wear brown or white to signify they are pure and commoners, while Vader and his lackies are black and red meaning they were the danger
@@Zwei4815 Claire the Pink Ranger Brian the Green Ranger Andrew the Blue Ranger Bender the Red Ranger I feel like it would make more sense to have Allison be the Yellow Ranger. Aside from The Breakfast Club kids, I feel like the kids from That '70s Show, Sky High, Cobra Kai & maybe Ferris Bueller's Day Off (add Jeannie & Charlie Sheen's character) as well as the Legacy Squadron from Independence Day: Resurgence would all make great Power Rangers teams.
Green also represents naivete (as in, when someone new or inexperienced is called "green"). Blue can represent discipline and conformity (Andy is worried that a lack of focus will hurt his performance, and he tends to go aong with authority and consensus opinion).
Some people say it has a symbolic meaning, in the scene where bender rips a book apart he says to Andrew "you think i'd speak for you? I dont even know your language". You can read "foreign language" in the glass that breaks, meaning that they finally managed to break The barriers of communication between them.
Molly was so shy that she didn't want to do it. Apparently, Ally Sheedy was deemed a better dancer, so we allowed to go all outwhile Molly was cool but reserved in her moves.
I love seeing John and Allison dance together at 3:23, that scene along with John tossing Allison the coke can at lunch makes you think that they could be friends. They’re both outcasts after all, so maybe John feels kind of a connection to her because of that?
You can make best friends in any situation and situations where there's a clear adversary and some kind of conflict are the best for making good friends.
@@FringeWizard2 we often look at movies like this one and think "I would love to be in that situation, that seems awesome!", but in reality we are always in this kind of situation, we just don't take the risks necessary to make friends
Everything about Molly Ringwald during this time was just so 80s.. The way she looks, talks, dances.. She just had that “It” factor. Incredible actress.
ya i was never a fan. she represented the it thing yes, but that's a role people play. We all learn our roles we're going to fill in society.. in schools.
All I could ever think during this scene (and honestly the whole movie) was...who goes to a high school like this? What high school has a multi floor library with a fricken DJ booth?
Greg Allen this was filmed at Maine north which is now state police station. I went to Maine east and this was exactly how our Saturday detentions were. Either 2 hour or 4 hour detentions that stated at 8am. I have great memories of Saturday detentions lol

@@manuelorozco7760 I agree with you. Music was still pretty decent in the early 2000s. At that time I was quickly losing interest in mainstream music. BTW, super freaking epic mustache! 42 years old and I cannot grow one lol
Funny, I got detention 4 times while I was in high school and it wasn't like this at all! >:( No mid detention adventures! No DJ. No rave! No smoking pot! No group therapy! Nothing! I think I've been cheated! >:(
@@orange-u-tan1344 Agreed. Fixing her hair and the makeup maybe, but slapping a pink shirt on her to make her "girly". I love this movie, but it didn't break as many of the cultural molds as it portrayed itself to. Like the makeover, and the fact that the nerd didn't get a girl. It was still the typical alpha male setup of the jock and the rebel who got laid while Brian did all the work lol.
John Hughes was such a great scriptwriter of comedy, romance and the rites-of-passage genre film. Also, if your film needs energy and a break from the characters, a good old song/dance montage will always liven it up.
I remember my mother showing me and my sister this movie while we were starting high school, she was a teenager in the 80s and even now as an adult I love it as much as I did 10 years ago 🙏🏽
Allison and John are still my favorites. And I find it interesting that Allison is the only one who didn't get high, though she's considered the head case.
Breakfast club: “Chicks can hold the smoke” Victorious: “Chicks can’t hold the hot sauce” Okay Then let’s skip to another bit After Andre eats in taco In victorious He gets pumped up so he starts dancing and then everyone else joins
I think I remember Hughes was thinking of it but the studio nixed it. I consider St Elmo's Fire a spiritual sequel to it. A lot of the characters between the two mesh well, and even have some matching actors in both.
I am kind of glad that this did not happen. Reality tells us that they likely went back to their old crowds and their own ways, and lost touch with each other very quickly.
@@nassauguy48I like to think that they did return to their own groups but sort of became ambassadors for each one of their groups. Like now they have an appreciation for each others worlds and maybe while they didn’t hang out like they did in the movie, they at least respected and cared about each other after that.
Not everyones eyes get red and glossy...some people you can never tell if they smoked unless they told you...you kids seen too many D.A.R.E. commercials.
I was in teenager in the 80’s and believe me, it was so much fun. Things were so different then. I’m in the UK and our 80’s seemed a lot grittier and not as polished as it seemed in the USA. But hey, what do I know? I was just a girl who lived in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport (about 5 miles from Manchester) having a blast in the 80’s.
This movie is ten years before I was born but I just saw it and I relate to it so much. It seems like such a snapshot of the time in so many ways but also completely timeless? Really moving to see them all dancing together in this scene, even though they were bratty kids (who isn't at that age?) they ended up being so empathetic and loving to each other, which is something NONE of them were getting from the adults in their life.
Molly Ringwald was supposed to dance by herself but was too shy to do it. Besides Ally Sheedy was a better dancer so they all did it together. Iconic scene.
weird example of how the 80s were so freaking awesome is that i was a teen in the late 80s early 90s. so i saw this move as a sophomore in high school in 87 during summer break right before going back to school. i was an inner city kid but got into a suburban high school 6 hours away from the city.. looked just like the breakfast club school. when i first got to the house i was going to live in they had pictures on the wall of the previous kids who lived in the house i was going to spend my next 4 years in. I remember looking and staring at those pictures a really long time and wishing i had come during that time.. the early 80s. but still i lived through the 80s and it was awesome. Game 6. Miracle on Ice. 90s knicks. Dream team. Jordan. 80s and 90s music. Smokeing weed without a cell phone or internet. soft rock. hip hop. fashions. amazing times.
Every time I watch this scene I can’t help but having on my face a big nostalgia smile. Love the BC, will always do. This will always by a hymn of my generation.
First saw The Breakfast Club when I was 14 years old and was about to start high school it changed my life, and I even recommended it to my classmates in high school, I said “it’s a movie that you should see before you graduate” and actually our English class we saw it on an old TV which had a VCR/DVD combo and I actually had it on VHS and brought it to school so we could all watch it together
Fun facts for those who don’t know much about the movie’s background. Ronald Reagan was the first choice to play Vernon, but a meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev conflicted with the shooting schedule and he could not accept the role. In Reagan’s autobiography, An American Life, he calls this “The biggest regret of my life.” Harvey Keitel was the next pick, but after reading the script he told John Hughes that he’d only play the role if he could dress in the same clothes he wore in “Taxi Driver.” So Paul Gleason, son of Jackie Gleason, won the role. During shooting he improvised the movie’s most famous line, “Yo Sal, how come there ain’t no brothers up on the wall?” The role Anthony Michael Hall played was originally written for a chimpanzee. Eric Stolz was originally cast as Bender, then halfway through filming John Hughes realized he wasn’t menacing enough and fired him. But you can still see glimpses of Stolz in the movie. That is his head between Molly Ringwald’s knees. And Hughes wanted Justine Bateman as the Claire character, but Gary David Goldberg would not give her the time off needed to film the movie. Filming was delayed for six months because of a typhoon. Emilio Estevez suffered a heart attack right before shooting began, also delaying the shooting schedule. The five students were originally supposed to serve their detention in the school cafeteria, locked into the walk-in refrigerator, but then producers were worried that children would try to copy the movie and lock themselves into their refrigerators at home, then suffocate. The exterior scenes were shot at a suburban high school right out of Chicago, but the library scenes were filmed at the Princeton University library, which is mostly underground and that’s why you see no windows in the movie’s library. Harvard University refused permission to film the dance scene there, so it was done at Oxford in England. Judd Nelson went undercover as a high school student at a local high school because seven years after graduating from a high school in Maine he had no memory of what high school was like, and found he liked it so much that he stayed at that high school after filming and four years later graduated as their Valedictorian. No one at that school ever realized he was an actor and not a student, even though he had been in three movies before “The Breakfast Club.”
in what universe do dogs say "bow bow" i know the expression "bow wow" meaning a dog's bark but i highly doubt a dog has ever made a noise that went "bow wow"
Please Hollywood, make more movies like these. Less CGI, less explosions, but with real stories. I've watched this movie when I was a teen (the director understood the teen's issues of that period and wrote them in every characters) and re-watched it more than 10 times.
This is a true classic It would be horrible if they tried to remake it. I watch this all the time. I grew up in the 80's and 90's and their is a reason those were more light hearted times. We new how to laugh at ourselves and not take ourselves so seriously. John Hughes must've paid big bucks to keep Hollywood from recreating his movies.

Ally Sheedy's character = the original goth
They shouldn’t have given her a full makeover at the end
I think The Cure predates her.
@@orange-u-tan1344 Agreed. Fixing her hair and the makeup maybe, but slapping a pink shirt on her to make her "girly". I love this movie, but it didn't break as many of the cultural molds as it portrayed itself to. Like the makeover, and the fact that the nerd didn't get a girl. It was still the typical alpha male setup of the jock and the rebel who got laid while Brian did all the work lol.
Not really post punk which basically made the basics of goth into a thing started in 1979

John Hughes was a creative genius. His movies all hold the test of time.
Except sixteen candles barf
@@turntablethomas2584why do you hate 16 candles? If you don’t mind me asking
Well, to put it simply, Sixteen Candles was one of John Hughes movies that aged poorly. Sadly.
I watch Ferris Buehler more than anything else of his directing credits
John Hughes was such a great scriptwriter of comedy, romance and the rites-of-passage genre film. Also, if your film needs energy and a break from the characters, a good old song/dance montage will always liven it up.
Molly Ringwald dancing is absolutely stunning!!
Claire's dance is so hypnotic 🤩
Molly Ringwald is so cute.
Felix Ng
and so is Ally Sheedy.
Both of them were my first crush’s
She’s playing Archie’s mom
Her and Ally are absolute fuckin queens

Gotta love the dance scene, music is the universal language that brings them all together as one. ❤
I remember my mother showing me and my sister this movie while we were starting high school, she was a teenager in the 80s and even now as an adult I love it as much as I did 10 years ago 🙏🏽
My man is wearing mismatched socks when he fell over.
And his jumper is inside-out.
My goodness, Molly Ringwalds iconic dance on the stairs 😍
Molly ringwald is dancing SO 80’s in this scene i love it. Its just tossing your body as hard as you can haha
That moment than 80s dance is still the best.
Allison and John are still my favorites.
And I find it interesting that Allison is the only one who didn't get high, though she's considered the head case.

Aw!
TIFFANY PERSAUD Yeah it was pretty awesome. I also stayed close to the exit in case Carrie showed up. 😅
That’s awesome!!!!!
Was 16 when this movie came out. Remember seeing it in the theater and loving it. Molly’s dance moves were cool.
i saw it during summer break in 87 right before getting ready to go back for early football double sessions.
the silence between the characters. the music. the awkward situations. I feel like I'm watching apes or cavemen lol.
One of the best 80s movies ever. Wished I would have attended 80s high school.
I’m a 2012 grad! And I had a phase of 80’s pop culture interest in high school. So I can relate

The movie which defined Gen X! You were one of these personalities in high school. Don't even deny it.
I think I was all of them at one time or another 😊
The best teenage movie ever
One of the best movies of 1980's years
One of my favorite movies of all time. Brilliantly expresses we're really not so different after all. Beautiful work of art ❤
Bender appreciating Brian while they're high is incredible
One of the best movies EVER. Makes me wish I was born in the 80s.
ive only watched this once when i was in high school … i think it’s time to watch it again … this scene is so iconic i luv their dances
Grew up as a 90s baby. This was the movie I would watch more than 100 times🥰
i so wish they made a 2nd part to this movie where it shows what happens when they go back to school
I think I remember Hughes was thinking of it but the studio nixed it. I consider St Elmo's Fire a spiritual sequel to it. A lot of the characters between the two mesh well, and even have some matching actors in both.
I am kind of glad that this did not happen. Reality tells us that they likely went back to their old crowds and their own ways, and lost touch with each other very quickly.
@@nassauguy48I like to think that they did return to their own groups but sort of became ambassadors for each one of their groups. Like now they have an appreciation for each others worlds and maybe while they didn’t hang out like they did in the movie, they at least respected and cared about each other after that.
@@samsonguy10kSt Elmo’s Fire is not on Breakfast Club’s level
Ted 2 & Victorious both did pretty good jobs at spoofing Breakfast Club.
T Movies - Best Breakfast Club parody was the poster for Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.

Community did a pretty awesome one.
@@IMPERXTORIX when did regular show spoof it?
@@carlmorrow1600 they made a whole episode about it, it’s called The Lunch Club
Fun Fact- The cast voted that Allison was the best dancer out of everyone. I agree
Nobody's eyes look like they are smoking weed.
That's because it's not weed
It's a movie so....they aren't.
Cause it was Oregano.
@Hugh Mungus haha .. about that
Not everyones eyes get red and glossy...some people you can never tell if they smoked unless they told you...you kids seen too many D.A.R.E. commercials.
Love Molly Ringwald’s dance on the stairs
Party in the library is not really what people think of when it comes to detention but this classic featured just that. 🥳
I was in teenager in the 80’s and believe me, it was so much fun. Things were so different then. I’m in the UK and our 80’s seemed a lot grittier and not as polished as it seemed in the USA. But hey, what do I know? I was just a girl who lived in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport (about 5 miles from Manchester) having a blast in the 80’s.
Molly Ringwald's dance is still legendary in 2022
John Hughes...forever thankful for your movies
This movie is ten years before I was born but I just saw it and I relate to it so much. It seems like such a snapshot of the time in so many ways but also completely timeless? Really moving to see them all dancing together in this scene, even though they were bratty kids (who isn't at that age?) they ended up being so empathetic and loving to each other, which is something NONE of them were getting from the adults in their life.
Many years later, and I occasionally keep coming back to this video. Such an iconic scene and film ✨💫
do NOT remake this movie
Its already a masterpiece ❤
I wish my high school was like this instead of staying home and doing stupid zoom meetings...
I feel bad for the kids having these years taken away from them.
@@cygnusx-3217 what? Being bullied? Yeah never again
@@alenciaga21 they meant cause they have to to zoom meetings instead of going to actual school like normal
It wasn't like this anyway
It was never like this
This movie just screams Gen. X. What an awesome time to live through
I’m a millennial who discovered the movie in the 2010’s
Molly Ringwald was supposed to dance by herself but was too shy to do it. Besides Ally Sheedy was a better dancer so they all did it together. Iconic scene.
This movie makes me so nostalgic for the 80s and I wasn’t even alive but it’s a nice feeling
Ugh it makes me rly sad and I'm 13
weird example of how the 80s were so freaking awesome is that i was a teen in the late 80s early 90s. so i saw this move as a sophomore in high school in 87 during summer break right before going back to school. i was an inner city kid but got into a suburban high school 6 hours away from the city.. looked just like the breakfast club school.
when i first got to the house i was going to live in they had pictures on the wall of the previous kids who lived in the house i was going to spend my next 4 years in. I remember looking and staring at those pictures a really long time and wishing i had come during that time.. the early 80s. but still i lived through the 80s and it was awesome. Game 6. Miracle on Ice. 90s knicks. Dream team. Jordan. 80s and 90s music. Smokeing weed without a cell phone or internet. soft rock. hip hop. fashions. amazing times.
It was as good as you imagine it was.
I’m 30 and Xanadu sparked my interest in 80’s pop culture
Every time I watch this scene I can’t help but having on my face a big nostalgia smile. Love the BC, will always do. This will always by a hymn of my generation.
Rip To A Great Director John Hughes, Still Miss You, Always
3:21 Me and the boys back in school after the quarentine
we'll never know the temperature of this room
I pictured myself in this movie and the outfit choice was hard😭
First saw The Breakfast Club when I was 14 years old and was about to start high school it changed my life, and I even recommended it to my classmates in high school, I said “it’s a movie that you should see before you graduate” and actually our English class we saw it on an old TV which had a VCR/DVD combo and I actually had it on VHS and brought it to school so we could all watch it together
3:22 crip walk so clean
The fact that they destroyed so much school property makes this even better.
Fun facts for those who don’t know much about the movie’s background. Ronald Reagan was the first choice to play Vernon, but a meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev conflicted with the shooting schedule and he could not accept the role. In Reagan’s autobiography, An American Life, he calls this “The biggest regret of my life.” Harvey Keitel was the next pick, but after reading the script he told John Hughes that he’d only play the role if he could dress in the same clothes he wore in “Taxi Driver.” So Paul Gleason, son of Jackie Gleason, won the role. During shooting he improvised the movie’s most famous line, “Yo Sal, how come there ain’t no brothers up on the wall?” The role Anthony Michael Hall played was originally written for a chimpanzee. Eric Stolz was originally cast as Bender, then halfway through filming John Hughes realized he wasn’t menacing enough and fired him. But you can still see glimpses of Stolz in the movie. That is his head between Molly Ringwald’s knees. And Hughes wanted Justine Bateman as the Claire character, but Gary David Goldberg would not give her the time off needed to film the movie. Filming was delayed for six months because of a typhoon. Emilio Estevez suffered a heart attack right before shooting began, also delaying the shooting schedule. The five students were originally supposed to serve their detention in the school cafeteria, locked into the walk-in refrigerator, but then producers were worried that children would try to copy the movie and lock themselves into their refrigerators at home, then suffocate. The exterior scenes were shot at a suburban high school right out of Chicago, but the library scenes were filmed at the Princeton University library, which is mostly underground and that’s why you see no windows in the movie’s library. Harvard University refused permission to film the dance scene there, so it was done at Oxford in England. Judd Nelson went undercover as a high school student at a local high school because seven years after graduating from a high school in Maine he had no memory of what high school was like, and found he liked it so much that he stayed at that high school after filming and four years later graduated as their Valedictorian. No one at that school ever realized he was an actor and not a student, even though he had been in three movies before “The Breakfast Club.”

That was 100% Emilio doing those somersaults😌😂😂
I love how Allison doesnt need to smoke joint, shes literally high herself
Please Hollywood, make more movies like these.
Less CGI, less explosions, but with real stories.
I've watched this movie when I was a teen (the director understood the teen's issues of that period and wrote them in every characters) and re-watched it more than 10 times.
Please Hollywood, die already!
It’s highly amusing how Ally Sheedy just plops her face into the floor at the end of her dance; so much fun!
0:54 poor baby🤣🤣 did anyone else hear it in the background probably from bender
This is a true classic
It would be horrible if they tried to remake it. I watch this all the time. I grew up in the 80's and 90's and their is a reason those were more light hearted times. We new how to laugh at ourselves and not take ourselves so seriously.
John Hughes must've paid big bucks to keep Hollywood from recreating his movies.
I’m a 93 baby who wishes I was born sooner. And it’s all because of how cynical our world has become
Reminds me of...
"I went to High School"
"Nah, I went to school high. "
One of my favourite Movies....Loooooove it...
Allison is the most adorable thing in the world 🥰
I love how Rose and Bruno Mars brought back some of these dance moves in APT.
