This Spring - the Brat Pack is back! The Breakfast Club
is celebrating the film’s 30th anniversary this year!
No other director captured adolescents coming to age
quite like John Hughes. His 1985 hit film The Breakfast Club centers around
five students with very different backgrounds, stuck in detention and
discovering they are not so different. The movie has become an all-time
classic, defined a generation and continues to be rediscovered and connect with
new audiences. The music plays a vital part and sets the mood throughout the
movie with songs such as Simple Minds’ “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” which
topped the charts in 1985 making them superstars. Other tracks include Wang
Chung’s “Man Leads The Way” from the famous hallway scene, Academy
Award®-winning composer Keith Forsey’s “I’m the Dude” (Instrumental) and Karla
DeVito’s unforgettable and infectious “We Are Not Alone.”

The Breakfast Club was one of those movies that really
shaped my teenage life. I must have watched that film dozens of times during
the end of junior high. And I could see a little of myself in each of those
characters. I am really glad to see that it is getting a re-release and proper
recognition for such a big anniversary. I am going to do my best to check out
one of the screenings in NJ.
