Just finished watching The Breakfast Club, I've not seen it for ages and it's not lost anything - Still one of my favourite films.

The kids haven't seen it before and YMF really liked it. Not sure about LMF as she was tappity tappity on her laptop all the way through.

We watched pretty in pink last week and just finished watching sixteen candles...

Top notch stuff!

I need a better version of The Breakfast Club, I didn't realise quite how poor mine is - No extras, non anamorphic transfer, it looks like a video! I think I'll do Pretty in Pink tonight.

Ferris Bueller. My Hero. Best teen film ever. FACT.

[Matblack]

FB never grabed me in the way Breakfast Club did I was a moody little bastard though and prefered my films to be more emo than comedy.

I was probably just the right age when FB came out. Breakfast club was a bit old for me & I wasn't allowed to watch it. Just didn't happen so I didn't see it until I was in my 20's.

Loved Breakfast Club. Didn't really care for Ferris Bueller and I don't think I've seen the others mentioned.

Sixteen candles seems to be highly regarded so I might watch that when I get home.

Some Kind of Wonderful is another of his great movies, (writer/producer). A really fab film that I unfortunately haven't seen for ages.
