Don’t you, forget about me! Damn song’s stuck in my head! Anyway, just finished watching film number 8 of the “1001 Films to See Before You Die” list which was 1985′s “The Breakfast Club” and was very good. I found myself relating to the characters towards the end when they opened up to each other. Every enjoyable, highly recommend. Here is what I had to say while watching it
Film – The Breakfast Club
Year – 1985
Director – John Hughes
Staring – Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald
IMDb Rating – 7.9/10
My Rating – 7.9/10
All I know about this before I hit play is that it’s filmed in one location (school) and that Simple Minds song
