kelab sarapan pagi

Iona signed up for Sociology class last semester and one of the movies they watched to complement their knowledge on that subject was the 80s cult classic, The Breakfast Club.

The Breakfast Club is about five teenagers from different social cliques who are thrown together in a Saturday detention class, who learn that they are more alike than different. There's the criminal, the princess, the nerd, the athlete and the basket case (which in today's terms is the goth/social outcast). Not much different from the cliques of today which we see in Lizzie McGuire, That's So Raven, etc.


I tried watching this movie a number of times but due to time constraint never got past the "Hey-hey-hey!" of the opening credits. But I finally got round to watching it. My verdict on the number 1 of 50 Best High School Movies:


A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN JENNIFER'S BODY.

I don't understand the abrupt ending, which didn't make much sense. Why did everyone (but the nerd) couple up?
BUT it's better than half the fluff movies out there today, I must say.


Here is the theme song of The Breakfast Club, Don't You (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds which I believe was the theme song of teenagers all over in the 80s.
