Watching The Breakfast Club for the first time in about 30 years. Had forgotten how utterly gorgeous Judd Nelson was in this.

Whatever happened to him?

Oh yes. I had a massive crush on him.

TisTheDarnSeason · 28/03/2024 22:01

I so wanted to be Molly Ringwald.

Google is not your friend in questions like yours OP… I wish I hadn’t looked.

MrsMitford3 · 28/03/2024 22:05

Literally just turned it on.

He was also beautiful in St Elmos Fire

Think he had a decent career but sadly lost his looks. *edited to say not really so much as lost his looks but grew older. as we all do.

the last film I saw him in was Called Girl in the basement and he was Joseph Fritzl. to be fair it was 2021 and none of us look like we did in the 80's

My crush was Winona Ryder in The Breakfast Club ❤️

She wasn't in it

Jessforless · 28/03/2024 22:10

Winona Ryder wasn’t in the breakfast club. You mean Ally Sheedy I’m sure.

Girl in the Basement was harsh viewing.

MrsMitford3 · 28/03/2024 22:12

@Jessforless very.

he is obviously playing a part but unrecognisable/HORRIBLE
wonder what his 1985 self would think?

TisTheDarnSeason · 28/03/2024 22:14

Oh god yes, he was in St Elmo's Fire as well wasn't he? Judd Nelson and Rob Lowe, both in their prime. The 80s was such a great time to be a teenager 😍

I was Rob Lowe all the way. Happy times!

JSMill · 28/03/2024 22:17

Omg I loved St Elmo's Fire and tried to copy Ally Sheedy's wardrobe for a while. I actually applied to do a year abroad at Georgetown University because of that movie but it was switched at the last minute. I was gutted but ended up meeting my husband at the second choice university!! Definitely a sliding doors moment!

MrsMitford3 · 28/03/2024 22:20

Just observationally-ally sheedy has teeth that she would never have in a film today.
not bad, just natural

TisTheDarnSeason · 28/03/2024 22:25

Insane to think that this film is very nearly 40 years old.

MrsMitford3 · 28/03/2024 22:28

OMFG noooooooooooooo

how can it be true??

SpikyHatePotato · 28/03/2024 22:30

I wanted to be Molly Ringwald in The Breakfast Club - to me she was the epitome of cool

Sherrystrull · 28/03/2024 23:01

Oh yes. Adored him.

MrsMitford3 · 28/03/2024 23:02

I forgot what a brilliant film

chamename · 28/03/2024 23:03

His nostrils put me off

She turned down the role of Vivian in Pretty Woman.
Big mistake. Huge!

CheeseSandwichRiskAssessment · 28/03/2024 23:05

I loved that movie and Bender so much! And bad boys in general Grin
P.s. Does Barry Manilow know you raided his closet??

WhatWouldHopperDo · 28/03/2024 23:13

My favourite was always Andrew McCarthy. Pretty in Pink is one of my all time favourite films.

Willyoubuymeahouseofgold · 29/03/2024 03:59

chamename- hahahaha...me too!

3luckystars · 29/03/2024 04:03

I’m going to watch that film today now. I will report back!
