The Breakfast Club

Has anyone else here seen this movie? In my opinion, it’s easily the best dark comedy thriller I’ve ever laid eyes on, though since it came out back in '89, it seems like most people have completely overlooked it.
To give you the gist, the story follows a couple (played by Sloane and Winona Ryder) who go around killing anyone who manages to cross them, always making sure the death looks like a suicide... then, Sloane's character gets this absolutely insane idea to target thousands of teenagers and make it look like a mass suicide (I won't say anything more because I don't want to spoil the plot for you).
At first glance, the film might not seem like a big deal, but the direction and those frequently deranged scenes—especially the dialogue—make it a genuine masterpiece. Sloane is phenomenal as this deeply repressed psychopath, and Winona is just brilliant playing his partner, who eventually does everything in her power to stop him. If you haven't seen this one yet, you really need to add it to your list.
Hehe, and that song "Teenage Suicide" is actually pretty good too.🤣

I couldn't agree more.
It’s such an incredibly original and cool movie, especially when you consider the era it was made in. To be perfectly honest—and I want to be fair here—I wouldn't say the film itself is some untouchable masterpiece of technical filmmaking. However, the acting is absolutely top-tier. The casting is spot-on, and the character archetypes are executed so brilliantly that they elevate the entire experience. It actually gives the movie a much higher level of depth than those countless cookie-cutter films we see all the time.
What makes this film truly special, though, is its clever dose of parody, which feels just as relevant today as ever. Back when it first came out, it was somewhat marginalized and misunderstood by many, but it’s clearly a sharp satire of those tired teen clichés. In fact, looking at the sea of terrible movies being churned out today, I think it would have been even harder to make something this smart back then. I personally love how it satirically mocks those specific "outcast" tropes where every teen protagonist thinks they are so uniquely special.
In any case, I highly recommend it to anyone who has a taste for 😬 movies.

The film is truly one of a kind. A standing ovation and a final Bow for those last few scenes.

I liked "The Breakfast Club"; that scene with the sparkling water was pretty cool. Still, the movie feels heavily inspired by the Columbine High School massacre, so it isn't exactly a totally original concept, if you know what I mean..

I remember it pretty vividly

Honestly, this movie was surprisingly fun. I wasn't expecting much once it got going, but things took such an unexpected turn by the end that I actually really enjoyed it. The way Slater plays Jacko here—I haven't seen many of their films together, so I can't say if this is their usual dynamic—but it absolutely works for him in this context. That ending was completely over the top. 🤣
