Love The Breakfast Club.

I didn't 'get' St Elmo's Fire'. Feel like I missed something.

I had a huge crush on the Judd Nelson character. Happy memories!

One of my favourites.


Richard Vernon:
Any questions?
John Bender:
Yeah, I got a question. Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?

I'd totally shag Bender.

Breakfast Club Bender, not Futurama Bender.

I'm older than you! have never seen it and will soon give in to DD1's pleas for me to watch it with her.

Molly Ringwald went and did Pretty in Pink which in my expert on all soppy 80s movies was not great. that dress was bogging for a start and Duckie was way hotter than drippy Blane.

I am babysitting at a friends and they have it downloaded so I am sat here with wine and chocolate...perfect Smile

Never thought Judd Nelson was attractive but I do now GrinGrin

Never seen About Last Night either. I must have led a very sheltered life!

Totally different style off film but I watched High Society yesterday and it was so good!

Love me a musical.

Wouldn't bother with St Elmos Fire - it's pretty rubbish, although I remember wanting to look like Demi Moore in it

I love 'St Elmo's Fire', totally DIDN'T get 'The Breakfast Club'... I seem to be on my own there, have tried three times now to get into it and it just leaves me completely unmoved and wanting my bed. Blush

Rob Lowe in About Last night. It does not get more perfect than that.

I think St Elmo's is great. I dragged DH to the bar where it was filmed when we were on holiday. Blush

I like St Elmo's for it's 80's-tastic-ness. And it's big cheesy soundtrack complete with requisite 80's sax.

Best birthday I had was when I was a teenager and my best friend gave me a surprise dinner party at her house (spag bol) with my fave friends followed by a showing of The Breakfast Club in her sitting room. Friends for life Smile

I wasted a large amount of my teenage years dreaming about Judd Nelson in the Breakfast Club....

Could be topped by The Outsiders though.

Absolutely bloody love it - my very favourite film EVER.

I so fancy Bender, even now.

Does Barry Mannilow know you raid his wardrobe?
