The 1980s were dominated by the coming-of-age teen comedies by John Hughes, the writer-director of such hits as "Sixteen Candles," "Pretty in Pink" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" -- but perhaps the movie that hit home the most with moviegoers was "The Breakfast Club."Released in1985, "The Breakfast Club" took a look at high school detention in a whole new light. Debuting in theaters a year after "Sixteen Candles," the "Club" included "Candles" stars Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall, as well as Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson and Ally Sheedy.The film took place in a high school library during an 8-hour detention session, which grouped together a privileged, popular girl (Ringwald), a jock (Estevez), a nerd (Hall), a rebel (Nelson) and an outcast (Sheedy).The complete opposites begin the day on a collision course, but as the hours pass, the students begin to realize they may have more in common than meets the eye. One thing's for certain: they're all aggravated by the school's hard-nosed principal (Paul Gleason)."The Breakfast Club" earned its place as a teen movie classic not only because of its memorable dialogue, but its great tunes, including Simple Minds' "Don't You," which implored with the lyric, "Don't you … forget about me."After 23 years, fans haven't forgotten "The Breakfast Club," and time hasn't forgotten its stars.
