The movie you're thinking of is Say Anything, which I highly recommend. It was filmed when Seattle was still beautiful. John Hughs was THE director for realistic (ish) teen movies. We loved him because he didn't talk down to us, or shy away from uncomfortable things. Gen X really had the good life, but it wasn't perfect. We didn't always have great home lives, our teachers rarely cared if we were bullied or sexually harassed, even if it happened in front of them, and we were left to figure out a lot on our own. Maybe thats why kids today are a little soft, because we wanted to make a bit easier on them. I wish I could say kids werent verbally abused and threatened by teachers in the 80s, but it was very common and they very rarely punished for it.

This was the classic 80s film about teenage problems. John Hughes was one of the best writer directors from 1980 to 1995. Many of his movies is about the high school experience. Must see John Hughes movies including this one are Ferris Bueller's day off, Some Kind of Wonderful, Pretty in Pink, Uncle Buck. Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Home Alone.

Glad you enjoyed it. One comment: it's not actually a "weird" movie with regards to the dynamic of the characters. It's very realistic in the way the mood can shift so suddenly. After all, the saying "Truth is stranger than fiction" has to be based on something, right? That's how life usually is, and that's why movies with tonal shifts stand out and relate with the viewer. Also, dark humor often comes right after something dark, and the situation of the Breakfast Club is kind of bleak (weekend detention, personal problems, peer pressure and friction). I think that it's actually modern Hollywood that has a very "on rails" character development now, with predictable situations and dialogues.

COOL FACTS about this school and John Hughs Movies. In the beginning of this movie they show some School Pictures of Students and one of those Pictures is of CARL THE JANITOR ( with Long full Hair ) He actually went to this school as a student and was voted Most Likely To Succeed and ironically he is the Janitor in this movie but was a successful Hollywood Actor. This school was a Closed School and John Hughs ( being from that area ) was allowed to use this school for this production and other movie productions. The GYMNASIUM was actually used for the part of the Movie Set of John Hughs HOME ALONE.. The HOME ALONE House INTERIOR was built inside the Gym of this school and the offices and classrooms were used as Production Office Space and Props and wardrobe Space. ANOTHER FUN FACT is that BRIAN came to school brought by his mother and little sister ( YOU FIND A WAY TO STUDY MISTER ) in FACT that mom and sister was actually his real mother and real little sister. At the end of the movie BRIAN is picked up from school by his father and IN FACT the father is played by JOHN HUGH's Himself.

The more serious the misdeed the more likely you are to NOT snitch), and MAYBE a bully but that usually would bite you in the ass. Other than that, never. And the 5 kids were meant to repesent everyone in their boxes and showing to venture out of that comfort zone and realize we have more in common with the other types than we think.

The Vernon character is what happens when teachers remain in the profession too long. He probably started out a great teacher, but after dealing with students who really are problematic sucking up the staff's energy and occasional teachers who don't care and parents who care even less, he became the type of bully he'd been struggling with. Teaching is a demoralizing career path.

So we'd go in the mornings and then walk up to the pool afterwards. As far as serious to joking to serious - humor/joking is a defense mechanism.

I think this is a movie reminding us to imagine other people as being just as complex as we are ourselves and having their own turmoil and issues, especially those who are so different from us that we rarely otherwise interact with them. I think that message is even more true today, when we often tend to imagine people in other "tribes" as being a combination of stupid and/or evil, depending on what suits us better at the moment. I also think this movie should never be remade. The people who feel nostalgia for it will hate the remake for not scratching that itch, and the people who don't have any nostalgia for it won't care about a remake. Plus, if they remade it, it would have to have a more diverse cast. That's fine by me, but about 40% of the potential audience would hate that on principle and decide without ever seeing the film that the producers are woke and therefore stupid and/or evil.

My high school actually had Saturday detention. It was called Saturday School, and it was in 4 hour increments. So if you had two Saturday schools you could either go for 4 hours one week and the next week or do both the same day so yeah it was 8 hours. You could do homework or just sit there. It was in the cafeteria. The worst though was in school suspension, you had to go to the separate classroom for the whole day instead of your classes and the desks were all up against the wall with dividers in between and you just had to sit quietly and do your assignments from your classes. It was sooooo long and boring.

What does "Neo-Maxi" mean?! 10:43 That always reminds me of Short Circuit. I forget what it's originally from. Three Stooges, maybe? 12:34 That's called "olive loaf." It's an acquired taste. I can't think of olive loaf and not be reminded of Red & Stimpy. Btw, it's not ham, it's baloney. [cue reference to the Balonius Maximus episode of Invader Zim] 15:48 In my headcanon, Bender became a successful mechanic after high school (remember, he was in shop class). 16:08 $31k a year in 1984 is roughly equivalent to $90k a year nowadays. Geez! Stagflation sucks! 18:39 Nobody knows how to layer their clothing in this movie. And they're in Illinois, so they really oughtta know how to do that. First, you never need more than four layers no matter how cold it is. Second, no more than two layers, including the top one, should be long-sleeve. I'm a Hoosier, muhself, and I've never in my life seen a real person wear three long-sleeve layers. That ONLY happens in movies. 23:33 Kind of an elitist 'tude there, dweebie. Maybe a little bit hypocritical, doncha think? As a nerd, muhself, I'm allowed to point that out. 24:09 My weird skill, when I was that age and now, is that I'm mix-handed. Next best thing to being ambidextrous. I can do two different things with each hand without one interfering with the other. Well, to an extent. 24:32 What's it to him if they were a gift? They were probably a Sweet Sixteen present. I can sympathize with Bender feeling like he's at war with the world, but this issue right here seems petty on his part. Yes, he deserves a better relationship with his father. Everyone does. But the fact that he lacks that isn't anyone else's fault except his fathers. It's not Claire's fault. It's not his fault. It's his father's own hard-heartedness. 27:05 Anthony Michael Hall grew, like, a foot taller while they were making this movie. 27:39 Goth look was better.

I've thoroughly enjoyed your new reaction channel - sorry I got here a bit late (as usual). I watched TBC dozens of times in HS - recorded it on VHS off HBO as soon as it came to the home mkt and then wore that tape out. It holds a special place in my heart as it came out my sophomore year at a time when my parents were going through divorce and I was living alone for a bit and then with my grandmother. While some references are a bit dated, i think it still holds up pretty well given its universal and enduring themes (bullying, teen angst, peer pressure, etc). As you noted, most of the weirdness comes from the casual misogyny and following up heavy issues with punchlines (the gun/flare gun thing... though still funny). I got my rising 8th grader to watch it with me on the plane home from our recent trip, and she really liked it even though she, like you, thought it was weird in places. I hadn't seen it since college and was surprised at how many F-bombs they drop throughout. I really only remembered the one when the vice principal leaves the library after Bender gets two more months of detention and shouts it as the door slams. So many references/quotable lines from this, just like all John Hughes movies - such a classic. Surprised you don't recognize his name from his many other hits he either directed or wrote or both (Sixteen Candles, Uncle Buck, Pretty in Pink, Weird Science, Some Kind of Wonderful, Home Alone, Planes Trains & Automobiles, Mr Mom, Vacation, etc etc etc). Glad you finally watched it... and hope you take on more of his library. Peace!

The themes would definitely resonate a bit more had I watched in highschool but overall it still had a place of nostalgia to some degree of just highschool life. John Hughes is a name I've heard but literally had never seen a movie of his before so this is a journey!

To me the random happy,sad and random questions about life and stuff felt realistic to me just because they’re teenagers and unpredictable sometimes like honestly if someone said they had a flare gun in there locker honestly I know people including me will laugh but I would steal feel bad because it is sad but shocking at the same time it’s just something that makes you laugh even if it’s a serious matter, I feel like teenagers would do in a sense like laugh uncomfortably in serious situations to some degree
