Breakfast Club - 30th Anniversary Edition [Blu-ray + UV Copy] [1985] [Region Free]

Film was good.

A strong group of characters hold this film together. It's a very different kind of film to Sixteen Candles, its slower, more meditative, there's very little music, long scenes of dialogue, a very small cast and pretty much just one location. The film continues on from Sixteen Candles in treating the characters with a degree of respect, they're not just stereotypical teenagers being goofy, or sex mad youngsters who just want to party while we wait for Jason Vorhees to show up.The film could definitely be taught in film school today, the editing and cinematography are especially praiseworthy, the characters wear one set of clothes for the whole film, the clothing becomes sort of iconic. The adult characters in the film are portrayed largely negatively, pushy parents, others are neglectful, some are domineering and intimidating. The films tone is more serious and sombre but there are plenty of sharp jokes and dry humour too. The main characters are all portrayed as initially defiant and sort of aloof while still giving the audience flashes of the fear, insecurity and angst lying underneath.I throughly recommend this film to people of all ages. It should make you laugh and hopefully make you think too.The Blu Ray is also worth the upgrade with a High Definition transfer. The colours all look nice and natural, contrast is good and the picture is sharp and free of flicker or damage.

Classic film

This is one of my favourite films from my teenage years. I hadn't seen it for so long and it didn't disappoint. Great evening of nostalgia or for an 80s themed evening.

this a good film

The blending of comedy and social drama is quite brilliant in the Breakfast Club, a highly entertaining and meaningful social critique focusing on the difficulty, faced by adolescents, of growing up in a society that doesn't understand them. Buy it and enjoy it and keep it in your collection - it's a classic of its genre.

80s kids were weird. That's why I love it.

I loved the acting, the characterisations and the pace - that's saying something bearing in mind they're supposed to e in detention for the day!They are great characters and there is a lot of thought in what is a surprisingly upbeat film about people from different backgrounds coming together and learning to understand one another through sharing what starts out as a miserable experience together.
