The Breakfast Club made me cry

[Sunshinemummified]

Have just watched The Breakfast Club. I had remembered it as a real feel good teen film but it has made me cry. Judd Nelson's character is so so . It's so different looking at it from the perspective of a parent!

I love all of them films

OMG I forgot about Some Kind of Wonderful I must have wathed that film abut 10 times when I was 13 it was my most favourite film ever!

John Hughes was a genius. Am feeling that Ferris Bueller may be tomorrow night viewing.

I need to watch Cry Baby again now! Thank you whoever said it.

And Running On Empty - that lovely scene where they are all singing in the kitchen,

Running on Empty? Tell me more. I don't remember it.

james spader yes, in fact in most things...

Oh running on empty that's the one with River Phoenix and martha Plimpton isn't it? In fact isn't that the film where they met and got together in real life?

Aw, I've never seen running on empty... must do a search...

The Breakfast Club is my favourite film ever. I tried to get dd to watch it with me earlier but she said it was boring and we ended up watching Clueless instead.

Might make dp watch it with me tomorrow now I've seen this.

it was a great time to be 15 in 1985

James Spader had a certain je ne sais quoi ?

Must bow watch Running on Empty.

DH loves Molly Ringwald so is quite happy to watch TBC.

yum, james spader in PIP, so wickedly deliciously evil, you have good taste susnshine!!

Oooh Southeastra I'm a 1970-er as well.

Salva it was the way he spoke and moved. I can't explain it but it was almost a drawl iyswim?

In Running on Empty RP's parents had been running from the FBI/CIA all his life because they had bombed a laboratory and killed someone. Think he met MP and had to decide whether to carry on running with his parents or stay with her.

Running on empty - river phoenix plays teenager whose parents are on the run from the FBI so keep changing identities. He meets Martha Plimpton in a new school and it challenges him to rethink the way he is leading his life. Great soundtrack as well. Martha Plimpton is really interesting looking. And I mean that as a compliment.

beat me by 8 secs!

That sounds almost like The Book of Daniel by EL Doctorow which is based on a true story.

throwing in untamed heart to the mix - more early 90s but another one that mkes me cry

Flame - have I missed something?

Was that the one with christian slater and the monkey heart Flame?

Untamed Heart is a dreadful film - and I speak as Christian Slater's former greatest fan. I was quite convinced that if I could get myself to Hollywood and across his path he would of course fall in love and want to marry me. The pulling part wasn't the challenge, as far as I could see, it was getting to meet him.

I do sometimes wonder....

Am I the only person in the world who hasn't seen Pretty in Pink?

I don't know why I love Untamed Heart.

Janeite - I'm thinking probably yes - Monday 4.32pm

Oh that's fantastic! Please, please let me know name etc. So pleased for you (and a bit if I'm honest!).

What about Weird Science too? Love that one!!
