Top Five: Back to School Movies

An unscientific and in no particular order list of five films that will get you excited for the school year.

The Breakfast Club

the-breakfast-club

Director: John Hughes

Stars: Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Anthony Michael Hall

Tagline:They were five total strangers, with nothing in common, meeting for the first time. A brain, a beauty, a jock, a rebel and a recluse. Before the day was over, they broke the rules. Bared their souls. And touched each other in a way they never dreamed possible.

Thirty years after its debut in theaters the themes and subject matter of John Hughes’ THE BREAKFAST CLUB are as prevalent now as they were then. Transpiring over the course of an entire school day we meet five students of different social status that serve detention in the school library, wasting an entire Saturday. Breaking down walls of the stereotypes of teenage life is what makes Hughes’s comedy stand the test of time. The cliques may have changed since the ‘80s, evolving beyond the five classes presented here, but the problems they face are universal.
