GREAT MOVIE!!! WATCH IT (this is not a movie review)
WE WANT DELETED SCENES!! When this movie was being edited, John Hughes (the director and writer) took out at least an hour or an hour an a half of scenes! The negatives were destroyed and John Hughes is the only person who has the entire and completed version of this film. John thought that the movie wouldn't be a hit if it ran 2 and a half hours so he cut it down. (In the Breakfast Club theatrical trailer, there is a scene when Allison says to Andy, "I don't want to be alone anymore". Andy replys, "You don't have to be.") (ALSO THERE IS A SHORT SCENE WHERE THE CAMERA SHOWS ALLISON HUGGING HERSELF BY A BOOKSHELF) !WANT PROOF! - visit http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088847/trivia
(it is the 20th bullet down)
There is also alot of more unknown secret facts about the movie that no one ever knew about it.

"Does Barry Manilow Know You Raid His Wardrobe?"
Writer/director John Hughes cornered the market on the "teen comedy", throughout the 80's with such classics as 16 Candles, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and Pretty In Pink. No ome quite captured the angst or awkwardness of that intense time better than he did. One of the best high school films from the John Hughes collection is The Breakfast Club.

When five high school students from different social groups are forced by their Principal (Paul Gleason), to spend a Saturday together in detention, they find themselves interacting with and understanding each other for the first time. Jock Andy Clark (Emilio Estevez), stoner John Bender (Judd Nelson), princess Claire Standish (Molly Ringwald), a basket case loner Allison Reynolds (Ally Sheedy), and brainy nerd Brian Ralph Johnson (Anthony Michael Hall) talk about everything from parental tension to sex, peer pressure and hurtful stereotypes while serving time. Each one has their own baggage. Ultimately, even as they try to one up their "captor" the five find that they may have more in common than they ever imagined. And in the process learn more about themselves as well.

Hughes had quite a knack for mixing comedy and truth about what High School is really like. The chemistry between these Brat Packers is dead on. The characters are universal and realistic--I recognized traits from each one of the characters in someone I knew back then, or even dare I say it, myself. The film may take place in one central location but Hughes keeps it interesting nonetheless and it never gets boring.

Touted as part of the High School Reunion Collection, and given the impact of the film even today, I would have thought there would have been a few retrospective extras included on the disc. The DVD only includes a few static production notes and cast and crew bios. While one can also appreciate the DTS and remastered original soundtrack, it's still a shame Hughes couldn't sit down for a comment or two about his recollections...at least. Sheesh! What a downer in that regard.

The Breakfast Club is a funny and "real" look at the high school food chain. It still holds up quite well and is recommended.

A really really good movie.
This movie is about A basket case A jock A princess A geek and A criminal.They all get detenion together and there supossed to be writing an SA about who they think they are but they end up Knowing more about eachother.It's got some pretty bad parts in it but its still good.
