The Breakfast Club. Classic film or pile of poo?

[Rockbird]

On now. Makes me feel about 15 again. Not sure if that's a good thing!

Fab film if you saw it for the first time in the eighties.

TBH, I'm not sure if I saw it for the first time now I would love it as much as I do.

What channel? I loved this film. I think you have to watch it first aged 15 to really get it (bit like Catcher in The Rye- if you don't read it in your turbulent teens you will never understand why it is a classic)

"you see us as you want to see us" So profound (when you are 15!) But fun to watch again

Pile of poo.

BBC2. Fabulous (but I am v elderly)

I loved it when I was a teenager. Got to remember that this is the target audience and not us cynical care worn adults!

Was just thinking that, hmc. What seemed so deep and meaningful at 13 is, with hindsight, a load of teenage angsty bollocks. But good fun

CLASSIC

Awww I've always loved it. Loved it so much that I wore out my first video of it! Still enjoy it, tho have to pretend a bit now.

Who did you identify with? Ally Sheedy for me - god knows why!

CLASSIC!

Love all the brat pack films,I feel 13 and love it

DH just said to me 'you're Ally Sheedy'

She was odd but cute

She was the most interesting and the one I thought I was.

Judd Nelson is a bit of alright through, and about 25 in this so old enough to still fancy

Classic! This was my favourite film as a teen - I must've seen it more than 20 times and used to play Simple Minds at full volume when not watching the film (my poor parents!).

Not sure how I would feel about it though if I watched it now. Best let the past stay in the past and enjoy the memories

Both. It's a classic film that would probably seem like a pile of poo to many teenagers if they watched it for the first time now.

Hate the unnecessary makeover.

Love love love love it.

This and Ferris Bueller remind me of the 80s and it has to be one of my all time favourite films.

Sad I missed it last night.

I watched it for the first time about a year ago. I thought it was great but I can see how good it would have been in the 80's, like Back To The Future etc. I like old films though

loved all the brat pack films got most on dvd thanks to dd1 she loves all the 80's films and music.Also ended up with a simple minds cd as she went out and got it to put on her ipod and gave me the cd.

I've never seen it, was a bit before my time, but I keep meaning to watch it. Would I appreciate it watching it for the first time at a 29 year old?

Classic. I watched it late at night when I was 15 with a group of girls and we were so pumped full of teenaged rebellion we couldnt sleep for hours.

It's absolute class and, yes, Judd Nelson is absolutely gorgeous in it. St Elmo's Fire, too, is brilliant.

LadyBiscuit - there's one thing

Classic

I was too young for it when it came originally, but saw it 1992/3 (age 14/15), after having seen Weird Science and Pretty in Pink (and completely loving Andrew McCarthy). I loved the film, hated the makeover (much better as she was) and adored Judd Nelson (phworrrrr)

Showed it to some 16 - 18 year olds a few years back and they mostly loved it
