I am nearly 41 and am watching The Breakfast Club for the first time...

[spookyskeleton]

It is awesome so how have I never watched this before??

Never watched St Elmo's Fire either and really feel I should!

I just wanted to be Debbie in About Last Night. Cycling around in dungarees looking stunning.

The breakfast club is the best film ever made. End of discussion.

I actually quoted it at work yesterday: The world is an imperfect place,screws fall out all the time. (I work in property and was talking about a landlord who was wanting to retain a deposit because a screw had fallen out a door handle. No one else got it!!!)

I also love St Elmos Fire. Sweaty Rob Lowe in a vest playing a saxaphone...

I like saying, 'Answer the question, Claire.' Unfortunately, none of my students are called Claire.

No no no mrsleo. BC cannot be the best as Rob Lowe isn't in it. Sad but true.

I've never even seen 'About Last Night'...

You need to watch it Lying.

I'm in my 50s and saw none of these in the 80s. Saw Ferris Bueller for the first time not long ago and absolutely loved it. Dirty Dancing's not bad either.

DH and the DSs think Ferris Bueller is brilliant. I was a bit where's Rob Lowe underwhelmed.

I think I do, Sparkling. It's like a 'recommended text' at school. I know my education is very lacking here, I have no idea what it's even about other than that Rob Lowe is in it. I shall correct this forthwith...

Lying. I might be a bit biased and you will probably be all WTF?

It's a lurrve story. Of sorts.

But I might love it too, Sparkling? Who knows? Even if it doesn't have the delectable Donald Sutherland in it... I'll cope. I really want to watch it now.

I quite like the not-very-obvious love stories, like 'Entrapment'... that's one of the all time greats, IMO, 'Gone with the Wind' is a bit meh, definitely not a love story.

Which is the one where there's a whole thing involving piercing a hole near the bottom of a beer can, then opening it at the top so the whole lot has to be drunk immediately? Not sure I'm explained that well but I'm sure it's in of the brat pack films

Finished watching it now... Loved it!

I always hated Ferris Bueller!

Now moved onto The Theory of Everything

I hate FB.

Theory of Everything is well worth watching - Eddie R is unbelievably good.

I have never seen about last night but breakfast club many times..Have it on DVD somewhere..along with pretty in pink.... Top film

I am a few years older than you and have never seen it... seems I have been deprived!

Wasn't that 'The Sure Thing' Girl?

P.S. LOVE The Breakfast Club, St Elmos Fire and About Last Night. Oh, and Some Kind of Wonderful - "break his heart, I break your face" - SOB. Yup, I'm an eighties girl!

Yes that sounds right! Had forgotten it even existed!

Loved Breakfast Club! "Don't mess with the bull" (trivia - same actor says same line in Die Hard 1!) Judd Nelson was amazingly good looking

Not fussed with Ferris Bueller or St Elmo's Fire (good tune though!)

My other 80s favourites are Weird Science, Pretty in Pink (i loved Andrew McCarthy!), Some Kind of Wonderful (great snogging scene), The Pick Up Artist (naff but Robert Downey Jr!!) and a film called Shag, with Bridget Fonda and AnnaBeth Gish.

Have you seen The Sure Thing? That was one of my favourites at the time.

Anyone else seen Class with Rob Lowe and Andrew McCarthy? My little sixteen year old heart is still swooning.

It's absolute shit. Nothing happens!

Come on Bitter, keep up - both myself and GirlWhoWearsGlasses have been talking about it. Great film. LOVE John Cusack. Daphne Zuniga went on to be in Melrose Place .

TBC would make an amazing stage play - would love to to see it.
