The Breakfast Club
Five high school students, John Bender, Andrew Clark, Claire Standish, Allison Reynolds and Brian Johnson are in detention at school. “The Breakfast Club” classically depicts your cliché 80s kids from the suburbs of America.

The presentation was beautiful, if you just had the topic of the movie, “kids in detention talking about their feelings” you would think the movie would be terribly boring. Yet John Hughes managed to show a creative, funny and dramatic way of showing. From the dance scene which just screams 80s to the music played through the film. The nostalgia that it gave me was
