About
As of 2026, it's 41 years old.
The Breakfast Club locked five high-school stereotypes — a jock, a brain, a princess, a criminal, and a basket case — in detention together and let them slowly realize they're all messes underneath. It defined the John Hughes teen movie and gave a generation permission to feel deeply about being misunderstood.
The closing fist-pump to 'Don't You (Forget About Me)' is one of the most iconic freeze-frames in film history.
Sincere, talky, and quietly revolutionary, The Breakfast Club is the movie that took teenagers' feelings seriously and made an entire genre out of it.
