This is one of those movies that people remember being better than it is.

It is quintessentially mid-80s.Quite perfect in that regard.
Overrated boomer movies thread?
>>219211479It's still pretty good. The upskirt shot of Molly Ringwald is hot to this day.

It's shit.
>>219211479I can't watch coming of age/ hangout movies cause it reminds me i'm a friendless old virgin.
>>219213168There's no way that's actually her
>>219211479The Simple Minds song is the kinoest thing about it but it's alright.
>>219213532According to chat GPTThe upskirt shot of Molly Ringwald in The Breakfast Club was performed by actress and former model Paula Abdul's then-dance partner, dancer/dancer-extra Kim Mitchell (credited as Kim Meyers).
Me and my friends do this
>>219213445Same but specifically high school/college movies. I hate seeing the "nerd" character(s) hooking up with people just by being there.
>>219211479It's 100% the ending song. That take away and the movie falls apart.
>>219211479Why do people say the "goth" girl is hot? She is fucking ugly as fuck. Did boomers really?
>>219211479It's in my top five favorite movies of all time. I love Hughes' dialogue and cast chemistry is off the charts. It's got a great soundtrack and the photography feels like David Fincher for kids at times. It's the quintessential 1980s teen movie.
>>219211479I've watched it recently and it still holds up because millennials and zoomers would be on their cellphones all day and make no human contact.
>>219211479Look i know its cheesy. But it was like real important because it defied stereotypes or something
>>219215529That's a remake I'd be interested in. Zoomers actually face punishment for their actions via detention and are forced to put down their phones and learn how to interact with one another. I wouldn't watch it because they'd make Brian black and Bender gay, but it'd at least have a message.
>>219211479It’s a comfy hangout movie, though I’ve got a weird fixation on movies that take place entirely in one location. Though, yeah, I’ve always the mid-80s John Hughs “IT’S SO TOUGH BEING A RICH AND BEAUTIFUL TEENAGER IN SUBURBN AMERICA IN THE 80s” schtick to be a little eye-rolling.I watched a shitload of Weird Science as a kid, and rewatched it a couple of weeks ago for the first time in at least 25 years, and was surprised at how plotless it is. >Gary and Wyatt get pantsed at school>At Wyatt’s house, they decide to make an AI chick to practice talking to girls>Accidentally make Lisa>They go to a ghetto club for no discernible reason than to pad out the runtime, and then they leave with not much of interest happening>Lisa offers to fuck Wyatt, but he passes out >Brief Chet scene>They go to the mall, and get clowned on by bullies>Lisa tells them they’re having a party >Lisa goes to Gary’s house and informs them about the party, and wipes their memory when they don’t like the idea>Lisa throws a party at Wyatt’s house by brainwashing everyone at their school>The bullies convince Gary and Wyatt to try and make them a Lisa of their own, but they accidentally make a missile instead, and Lisa gets mad at them for exactly 30 seconds, and the subplot is abruptly dropped>Wyatt’s grandparents show up in a scene that’s basically a copy/paste of the scene involving Gary’s parents, but Lisa freezes them instead of wiping their memory this time>Lisa makes a fake biker gang fake attack the house and then Gary and Wyatt fake fight them off, and then they fake retreat>This makes the bullies’ gf’s fall in love with them, and then they have sex>Chet shows up in the morning, understandably pissed at how trashed the house is, and then Lisa turns him into a Jabba monster until he promises not to fuck with Wyatt anymore>Gary and Wyatt tell Lisa “We had sex one time, so all our problems are solved. Fuck off now.”
