I detest The Breakfast Club because it seems to subtly suggest replacing individuality with conformity is the path to acceptance. Horrible message. I say the dead float with the current and only the living can swim against the stream. Me, I like living.

I always hated this movie too. You lock a bunch of kids who hate each other in a room for the day & they come out friends? If I had a nickel for everytime my teachers tried that twisted logic.

The sad part is, the teachers in special class made us watch this on movie day, and even they realized how stupid it was.

I think the critics & thirty-somethings of the day identified with this movie more than teenagers did.

That movie was painful. It was almost physical pain.  :bluesad:
It was like watching a room full of teenage Alan Alda's and Meryl Streep's.

the GREEN BERETS.
Vietnam is exciting! John Wayne's doing it!
Vietnam was not WW 2. It was a different time. It was a different country. It was a different world.

50 shades of grey. Look, I have nothing against kinky sex but the idea that this guy could stalk this woman, break into her place, act like an obsessed fan of a movie star was just awful, but he had the magic word-Billionaire!- that made it all right.

If this guy were a regular working man he'd have likely ended up with a restraining order, but a billionaire can stalk someone, break into their place, etc and he's ok.
