BEHOLD! The Breakfast Club molecule. All connected to each other in three or less, *without* using any John Hughes movies.
It’s important to me to point out that they are, clockwise, in the same order as the letter.
I used to have Molly Ringwald connect directly to Paul Gleason using Not Another Teen Movie, but that felt like cheating.
Yes, Reginald VelJohnson was in Ghostbusters; he was the cop who let them out of the jail cell, saying “Okay, Ghostbusters! Mayor wants to see you guys.”

Movie #1
Title: The Breakfast Club (1985)
Director: John Hughes
MPAA Rating: R
Overall Score: ★★★★★
Comment Time (Spoiler Warning!!)
I love this movie while watching it I thought of middle school (which could be a good or bad thing depending on the person)
The entire movie felt so real to me and reminded me of how people actually talk to each other and high school struggles
I think the writers did an amazing job at piecing together a movie that shows how people can underestimate what people go through just because of their status and how the are viewed by other people
I thought the actors did a fantastic job portraying their roles and the stereotypes that they are supposed to fit into you can tell that the characters had views on each other when they came together but changed as the story went on
The entire movie reminded me of someone I know personally and also events (or similar ones) I have seen while being in middle/high school
Mr. Vernon reminded me of some teachers I had in middle school and the way they treat kids which made it more real for me
I didn't like the fact that while Brian was talking about suicide everyone laughed once he said he was going to do it with a flare gun
Also the "make over" that happened to Alison was a disgrace and I thought it took from the point of the movie that people come from different walks of life and still deal with struggles they turned her into something shes not and that's when Andrew started liking her
I think it's a good solid movie it can be slow and there isn't a lot of commotion going on some scenes but I don't think the movie should've been like that
The part when all of them are sitting around talking about their situations almost made me cry because it was so emotional for me to watch
Overall I love the movie and it's a good watch for people who enjoy heartfelt movies

Veron: Any questions?
Bender Yeah. I got a question. Does Barrry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?
Veron: I'll give you the answer to that question next Saturday. Don't mess with the bull, young man, you'll get the horns.

THE BREAKFAST CLUB 1985
Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us - in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club.
