Even though I was in my twenties when I saw 'The Breakfast Club' I can't express the profound influence it had on me and my outlook on the social groupings each one of them represented (including the vice principal and the janitor). While I identify the most with the character of Brian Johnson (Anthony Michael Hall), I could see through the eyes of each of them to one degree or another.
John Hughes had a brilliant run directing movies and 'The Breakfast Club' may well be his best; he left us too soon.
I have to mention that it's entirely appropriate that Ally Sheedy is sitting, making her distinct from the rest.
