      @user-et6pj4db9s Месяц назад +8

      @@tonymontana4284 no it isn't, this is considered more iconic cos its what's known as a bottle episode in TV where the whole movie takes place within the confines of one location over the course of one single day featuring characters representing five major social groups of both school society and in some ways society in general and the story arc of them beginning by having zero in common as they are forced to convene and finishing by them having bonded as friends in their own ways. It's a very simple story, very focused and straightforward with a clear story arc and hence it gets remembered the most. Sixteen Candles is a fairly generic teen romance drama more or less and thus less noteworthy.

      PREACH Sparky!! I LOVED John Hughes films BECAUSE… Yes, they were basically “Young Adult” books that they made into movies instead of books. His movies DID NOT ASSUME the watcher was some idiot kid, but a YOUNG ADULT! That we were Adults in Training, still learning about life, how relationships work, the beginnings of REAL responsibilities to come and that we were THINKING and LEARNING part of society! And the movies coming out of Hollywood now are just GARBAGE! I miss John
      Hughes and his stories…

      So I met Anthony about 15 years ago at a convention. He signed my 'Breakfast Club' DVD and I told him it's my dream to get it fully signed one day. He looked at me and said, "Well, how about four out of five?" I was like, "Huh?" and he asked, "Did you see the Oscars tribute to John Hughes? Did you notice ONE of us was NOT THERE?" It was then that I understood that I'd be lucky to get four of the five. I wish Emilio would get off his high horse, be a little more humble and appreciate his fans more.

      Interesting you would bring that up but I think if there's an actor that could be a seamless substitute for each other, it would bet these two. It's arguable who had the bigger career as the laundry list of movies John has done aren't really high profile but he has worked more than Judd, either by choice or popularity in the course to public opinion.

    John Hughes was such a genius, truly one of the all-time great comedy writer/directors, if not the greatest. He wrote and directed The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Planes Trains and Automobiles, and Uncle Buck, to name a few. He wrote National Lampoon's Vacation. He wrote Home Alone. The list goes on and on. I have left out several of his hits. It's such a shame he died so young. He was only 59 when he died of a heart attack.

Therefore don't bother trying to convince anyone, just be you and live your life to the fullest!

    Breakfast Club is my favorite movie of all time. Seeing these actors middle age, as I am now approaching middle age, brings back a part of my identity that I tend to forget because life gets boring and stressful, etc. It’s a snapshot of youth that we all need to remember from time to time. Life then wasn’t easy either but youth is this tremendous gift 🎁 Honestly, if this movie was always on at “the home,” I would sit and watch every showing with my knitting! 💫

We watched so often we all knew all the lines and would recite them while watching. To change things up, we decided to have each of us draw a character name from a hat and we would act out that character. Yes we were idiots, but we had fun.

    Breakfast club is the one movie that I related to the most as a teenager now every single one of John Hughes movies is iconic completely iconic and I grew up with all of them and I am so grateful I drop in that era and that timeframe because it related to me so much I related to Allison‘s character Ali she was my favorite character and I love Molly. Ringwald don’t get me wrong. I love all the characters, but I related to Ali‘s character the most because of how I felt inside I was like Nerdy sort of introverted artist too. I could act my ass off, but I felt like her character most of the time! And just to make a point, she did not put her dandruff on her. Cap’n Crunch. She put her dandruff on her drawing, and she put pixie sticks on her Cap’n Crunch and then put the bread back on and took a bite. He should notice he was in the movie, but I could tell you just about every single line almost every character in that movie and I just want to stage them. I’m sure they probably won’t see this but I want to thank all of them for every single movie that they made in 80s because they made my teenagers amazing so I want to say thank you for being such awesome actors and for making my life the way it was back and I’m 50 years old and I have to tell you that my kids love every single one of the movies every single one 16 candles the breakfast club Saint Elmo Saint Elmo‘s Fire, Johnny be good weird science and they’re so many more movies that made my life awesome so if they get to see this, please tell him that he made that mistake but tell him how much I love them.

I ran into Judd Nelson at The Aurora Mall (Aurora Colorado) just after Saint Elmo's Fire... Weird right? He was HUGE and here he is walking through a mall with someone else (security guard maybe?)....I said to him "You're Judd Nelson!" and he responded "Well yes I am...." and that was it! We smiled and went on our way. No phones then, but I'll never forget this mega movie star walking through the mall.
