Sincerely Yours : The Making of "The Breakfast Club" pt.2/3(Ally Sheedy,Judd Nelson,Anthony M. Hall)

One of the greatest movies of all time.

Forty years later and I still recite lines from this movie all the time, especially Bender.

Everyone mentions Judd Nelson and what a powerhouse performance he put in. And it was, it WAS. But Ally Sheedy damn near topped it. So close, and the transformation at the end was just STUNNING. Great performances all round, and one very memorable and quotable movie.

I am 52 and still watch and love d share this movie with my kids....goood job!

I'm 54, and this movie was used in a high school Psychology class( Private school)the year after it came out. We analyzed the crap out of every character. Very instructive.

LOVED this movie when it came out and still love it in 2024! Really holds up!! Great movie and actors!

No one is a sell out in this movie. They are just open up to each other. It is a great movie. She was the very best at the end by not even needs to be there was prefect. Love the movie. Still do.❤

I always said that every teen should see that movie to see that no matter what’s your situation, we all go through teenage shit! Every actor is perfect in this movie! I was so in love with Judd Nelson as a kid 😂

This movie was my high-school experience. 50 yrs old and my kids love this masterpiece as well. ❤

This movie is a right of passage. I grew up with it, memorized every single line and passed that on to me daughters who now love this movie. And on and on it goes!

Allie Sheedy is amazing! Love her❤

When I watched this film, it made me feel like someone had snuck in and filmed my friends at the time.

I think it's so funny that each one of these people describing each person in this film think of them as just characters while i thought of them as someone i would know personally. That is how relatable the entire cast was to me.

What a classic! One of the best movies ever!

Mr Stone- He was the janitor of my middle school 6th grade. Tuff as nails, didn’t take crap from the kids, but had a sensitive side to him that all put together gained your respect.

Ok... I loved the 80's and The Breakfast Club is my favorite 80's movie! I have seen it so many times that I know it all by heart.... I even got my husband to finally watch it a few years ago and to his surprise he actually loves it too... He laughed his butt off and even recites some of the famous phrases.. ( can you hear that? Want me to turn it up? )... Basketball gym scene cracks me up ... I could go on and on..... Just love that movie....

They say Bender was over the top. I was the prep in that era with a friend who spiked his hair and defied every rule. We stayed friends through the stereotypes. One day he came into English class, sat down by me, then stood up and smashed his desk against the floor so many times and so hard that it was a pile of wood and metal. His father beat him all the time. What do you do with that bottled up inside? Bender wasn't over the top.

I think calling Allison a "sell out" is a bit harsh, and demonstrates some memory loss about how badly kids in high school want to "fit in" and connect with the other kids. We can romanticize individuality and "weirdos" in films all day long, but in reality, high school is a very dangerous place to stand out in and no one knows that better than high school kids. Even now. My son is now in his freshman year of college but I can clearly recall conversations with him over the past few years about clothes and shoes and music and pretty much anything that would have singled him out or made him look or appear "different" than his friends and the other kids around him.

John Hughes is irreplaceable and his talent to capture that moment, and feel and be relatable was amazing. I was in 5th grade and this became my favorite movie then and for life. I showed this to my son as a preteen and teen and it’s different now but those feelings kids have, people have, still is relatable.

Paul Gleason's Character was the most memorable to me. He was scary, he was authoritarian, he was brutal, he was hilarious, "Wake her up! This is no rest home!" And those finger gestures and pointing he did....
