For those who might see Estevez as a "failed actor", don't. Early on, he found that his "true love' and talent was "behind the scenes". He got into producing and directing and had a long, successful, and happy career doing that.
@Brad BradBradBrad Estevez had a really solid career in the '80s and '90s after that took the foot off the gas and enjoyed his money while he was still a youngish man.
I remember when I first saw that movie. I had such a crush on “The Rebel.” I always wished his character had been able to finish the joke before falling through the ceiling... 🤣
The 80s was a time of a magical ambience. It was more simple time. Those were the days. The World now has reached a decline with disrespect and brainwashed sheep 🐑
Its still one of my favorites. I'd still love to do a play of it. Perhaps modernize it a bit. I just always wanted to be in it. I suppose I still could. Im nearly 39, but people think i'm in my 20s all the time, and people in their 20s are often cast to play teens, so... why not? Lol. Anywho I would be torn between paying Allison or Bender (Why couldn't Benders character be a female?)

I like how the standard of beauty was a lot more natural back then... Granted we did wear a lot of makeup at times but it was still different... everyone had a different way of expressing their look as opposed to today when it feels like everyone is trying to look similar.
Tanya Sidello today, foundation is too heavy, brows too thick and dark and lashes are completely over the top. Today a lot of girls look like drag queens.
Tanya Sidello likewise. I prefer makeup to remain in the palette, or for a girl to look like she isn’t wearing makeup. Subtle makeup, catered to someone’s complexion looks beautiful.
I met Molly Ringwald a couple years ago at a hotel I worked at just outside of Toronto, Ontario. I was working the front desk and was lucky enough to check her in. She was very pleasant and down to earth and most people in the lobby didn’t even recognize her which was kinda shocking. I upgraded her room to our largest suite in the hotel and filled her fridge with the best snacks and drinks because I was so excited she was coming lol
I think that it is in part to the volume of press that today's actors need to do. There are so many more entertainment news outlets today than back then. With practice, you get polished.
Lol Oh TRUST if social media were a thing then you'd see all the cocaine and crazy stuff they did. Young money has and always will be crazy, just more private before social media age.
I wouldn't say humble. But they're young and still politeful and respectful, which isn't a common thing anymore. Back then they had little worry about being canceled like today. So of course they're calm.
@@Seiko180 Yeah, Charlie chose to go more openly in his father's footsteps by going with the name 'Sheen' instead of his real name which is Carlos Estevez.
I was kind of irritated at the obligatory question. I mean, be original - ask the young man about his work. I know Martin Sheen is a timeless and fantastic actor, but couldn't there be one interview where they didn't ask? You could see his facial expression change and his body language - he kind of shut down a bit. Shame.

Whenever I go back to visit my parents around the holidays, I'll hit up this specific towny bar, I like the owner/bartender he's a recovering alcoholic and hilarious. But the clientele......the one or two 70s+ people that are the last of their group alive that havent died of liver failure yet, the 50's and 60's age group, 30s-40s age group and those in their 20's that dont realize they are looking at their own future in those others. They all get sloppy drunk, forgetting their dead end job and the town they never set foot out of and remember their glory days the would give anything to go back to. If you made a drinking game out of any time you heard someone say "remember back in highschool!" you'd be dead in 20 minutes. I had fun in highschool, I had fun in college...but I had so many great experiences after and will to come. Yeah I'd like to have my 20 year old body back, but I sure as fuck don't want to go back in time.
I graduated high school in 1984. I went to school with everyone in the Breakfast Club. Great movie. Brings back memories for me. But don't be fooled. Cool kids dressed like Madonna and talked like Valley Girls to express their 'individuality.' We had the same ratio of mean people and idiots that they have today. We were definitely not smarter than kids today. We followed the same rules as they do today just expressed in a different manner. You may think we dressed funny (and we sure did!) but when kids look back from the future to today they are going to think the same thing. And they'll be correct. I was a burnout. That was my label. But I knew and talked with nerds, preppies and jocks. We were all in the same boat just like today. You can find comfort in your 'label' but when you break away from that label is when you see who you really are. That's what this movie says to me. I was voted 'friendliest' in my senior class. Embrace your label but don't let it hold you back. Peace PS: Our 'burnout' team beat the crap out of the 'jock' team in the end of the year softball tournament. So you never know. :-)
I would have loved to been a teen in the 80s I was born in 91 so I don't remember a lot of the 90s but I do remember the early 2000s a lot and I'd give anything to trade that for the 80s. Everyone seemed so much more mature and fun
@@symonelove5841 If you had been a teen in the eighties you would be in your fifties like I am and struggling to remember what exactly your teen years were like. Movies are great and nostalgic but they don't represent the true reality of what it was like back then. Mature???? Let me introduce you to Dave Picininni, Danny Jones and Jeannie Landa. Then you tell me how mature '80's kids were. Ha Ha :-)
Bryan Burton yup. I dressed like Madonna for awhile. I graduated in 1985. I had friends in all “cliques “. We all had our own little groups but mingled well. I always loved the bad boys like Bender. So sexy!
As a member of gen z, I want to thank you. I’m tired of older people shitting on my generation. It’s especially prevalent in the comments of old videos such as these.
The John Hughes trifecta of ‘Sixteen Candles (‘84), ‘The Breakfast Club’ (‘85) and ‘Pretty in Pink’ (‘86) defined my high school years (1983-87) in the Midwest. Gen Xers like myself had a had a movie 3 years in a row that seemed to capture our high school years so incredibly accurately. I treasure those movies. It’s like looking at my own HS yearbook.
Anthony looks SO different in his own style then in a lot of his 80’s movies, breakfast club, 16 candles etc. it was also weird and intriguing to see him in edward scissorhands as a completely different type of character. love it tho❤️❤️
@@TitoTimTravels Probably because he got MUCH bigger, all over, and stopped looking like a skinny boy. I always thought it was steroids in preparation for that football movie he made. His neck got really big, bigger than usual, it seemed to me.
In Weird Science he had cool as fuck hair, he was growing it into that style around the time of this interview, in The Breakfast Club itself it was totally different, I remember it being almost a light ginger colour
I turned 16 in 1980. I really enjoyed the 80s... probably because the 70s sucked so bad. The 80s were better in every way, clothes, movies, and especially music.
So interesting how today interviews are never this "quiet". There always background music or cut to scenes from upcoming movies while people are talking. The 80s were just so unique I miss them. There was time to breathe and take in what you were watching. Today everything looks and feels like channel surfing.
For me, this was the most iconic movie of the 80s. Every time I see it, I want to go back and relive those days. Sometimes just hearing the theme song brings me to tears because I miss everyone and everything. Wish I could do it over.
A calm, respectful, humble interview. All of them have such good manners here. A fantastic movie absolutely. However, this interview and the atmosphere is incredible.
Judd Nelson’s performance in this CLASSIC movie, is the best I’ve seen him perform. I have watched this movie so many times, I can’t even remember how many times. But my heart still hurts for his character, because of Judd’s acting.
I think Judd was actually 25 or 26 when they made that movie and she screwed up his age. I always wondered why they picked someone so old to play a teenager in a movie. Then I realized that him being older and looking a little older, made him a more intimidating figure in the movie next to actual teenagers.
I miss the sets they used back then -- cozy, no overlit sets, loud music, no audience. It felt like you were sitting there with them. A nice, quiet start to the day.
I'm surprised with your comments. She looked and sounded very cute, natural and interested to me. I enjoyed her chemistry with her guests who also all looked/sounded natural and professional.
As a 1984 high school graduate, I can relate to all the characters in this movie. They remind me of my friends and kids that I interacted with every day. This movie certainly brings back memories.
It's important for anyone born more than nine months AFTER Mike plans to arrive in 1985 to hunt him down and KILL HIM if he gets anywhere near a time machine. The butterfly effect is inaccurate (sorry Ray Bradbury). You'd only need to look a few days downstream of a splintered timeline (not millions of years) to see MASSIVE causal disruption to world events. Only events well underway would continue as they did, and even then there would be countless different outcomes. It is virtually impossible for anyone conceived more than a few days after the target temporal incursion point to be conceived after the incursion. Consult a biologist or physician specializing in fertility and a particle physicist to completely understand why. No one's life history survives backward time travel. Everything changes almost instantly. The pandemic is a great example, given the alteration of life paths, movement on the planet's surface, pollution levels, countless other variables. Simply consider how quickly the virus infected tens of millions of people and you can see how the movement of molecules around the global is so quick. Viruses are made of molecules. All this said, I am SO with you there, brother Mike. 1985 was THE BEST year of my life, by far. It's certainly cliche to say "knowing what I know now..." but it's so true for me in that year. My best year could have been so much better. Mostly true pertaining to interpersonal relationships, but then there's PCs and the internet tech boom, the burgeoning crisis with then CIA operative and family friend of the Bushes, Osama Bin Laden, not to mention the defective O-rings on Challenger, the tragedy of Pee-Wee Herman making that ONE LITTLE MISTAKE in a darkened theater...so many things I would want to prevent or make better. Then I think of all the young people I love who only exist as a result of all the terrible things I'd stop or the world-changing benefits I could bring to the new time line. Not one single person born in 1987 or beyond would exist. Don't misunderstand me, it's not like life would end, or people would stop having babies, it's that none of them...NONE...would be conceived at just the right moment, with the same combination of gametes, the exact "load" launched, the same angle of ejaculate trajectory...etc. The odds of any of us being exactly who we are, genetically, by our parent's union is 1:8,000,000+, then take into account all of the factors, including temperature, gravity, air pressure, body position, choices effecting intensity and timing of ejaculation, and the fact that there are more than 300,000,000,000 sperm vying to be the one that reaches the egg first (talk about a zero-sum game!) and you can see how even the most minute change in the day's events leading to copulation would nearly eliminate the same person being conceived. Think about all the hundreds of thousands of tiny decisions we make (35,000 consciously, nearly 400,000 unconsciously) during the course of a day. Traveling back in time, and making changes (especially the BIG ones you might WANT to make) would cause a tidal wave of causality that would circle the globe in just a few hours, causing noticeable changes in a few days. Just on my own in 1985, I could choose to slow down or even reverse the slow collapsing of the Soviet Union by revealing privileged information I have about the nature of the Strategic Defense Initiative hoax conspiracy. I would have been able to contact specific journalists, politicians, and members of academia who would have been in a position to expose the fraud of the "Star Wars Defense System" and reveal that it was a ploy to bankrupt the Soviets by forcing them into a new arms race they simply could not afford. Would I do that? Well, I might, if I was 16 again and thought it could get me laid!
Wow! I was 14 when this movie hit the theaters. I remember watching it with my best friend thinking how real all the characters were. What a brilliant movie, at a brilliant time in history. There will be nothing like the 80’s. Probably the best era ever to be young.
If you were in HS when this movie came out, then you knew every type of person portrayed. The only ones they left out, was Stoner/Metalhead, and Preppy. This was from a central Missouri high school. Individual results may vary
I’m now 52 and this movie changed my life as a teenager. I still remember how it made me a better person. I was the jock in HS and had many friends like the people in that detention.
I was 10 years older than the target group that this movie was aimed at, but I still enjoyed it, but I was very surprised that this group of performers did not become superstars---not even close! I really liked Ally Sheedy, especially in "Short Circuit"; but poor Judd Nelson's career as a major leading man could not possibly be sustained after he starred in such wretched movies as "Blue City" and "From The Hip".
Marii Ren if only you knew how physically and psychologically abusive he has been to the many women who have had relationships with him in real life, Trisha Paytas was one of his victims... He’s a scumbag...
If he gets up, we’ll ALL get up, it’ll be anarchy! /Does Barry Manilow know your raid his wardrobe? /You’re a NEOMAXIZOOMDWEEBIE. /You are a parents wet dream. /Do I STUTTER? / ...... He had the best lines and was so believable. He had this lost little boy look and in the scene where the Principal is threatening to hit him his face breaks my heart every time. He’s an abused kid who projects this tough guy image but is really just scared and sweet. That is CATNIP to the girls!
This is a timeless movie. I could watch it over and over and never get tired of it. Great cast, great script. They don't make them like this anymore. "I wanna be an airborne ranger!"
Without any question, this is my favorite movie. I can quote every line in this movie. The actors were so outstanding that the plot was overshadowed to say the least. I think everyone who watched it can relate to at least one of the characters. If not, you certainly know someone in school who is one of them......!
I was watching this with my dad the other week and he kept saying the lines seconds before the characters said them, he hasn't watched the breakfast Club in years!
I don't have a list of favorite directors but John Hughes is definitely my favorite director. Many people talk about Spielberg, etc.. all those big names.. but John to me is just untouchable. So glad for his movies.
Honestly I wish I was born in the 80s. Breakfast club is my all time favourite movie and honestly I love the cast. It's just so fascinating to see how life was so simple and kind in the 80s. And also Anthony Michael Hall is 🥵
I was born in 70. Believe me, if you grew up in the 80s, you wouldn’t have fully appreciated it until 20-30 years later. We were just getting by, but it was a magical decade.
2024 and I still believe that TBC was the best 80's movie EVER! Thank you to all of you beautiful actors for contributing something so complex as youth(!) and sharing it for generations... You all are the BRAT Pack. Glad a BC 2 was never made. You can't fix beautiful.
It's a breath of fresh air to come back and see how different things seemed to be during this time. You just don't see this type of interaction on camera on major media outlets nowadays.
@Vince Belfort I'm talking about the juxtaposition of people being interviewed on tv in the 1980s vs 2010-2020s. Based on your comment, your taking a pretty cursory approach that it's just people talking. I was referring to how way the people the people are talking to each other, their facial expressions, their delay, everything, it's much different then what you see today. It's an effect of time and change. It's nice to be able to go back and appreciate it.
The cast and film is one of the greatest things ever, I love how John Hughes was solidly able to write five different types of characters and pull them all together with similar parental problems or pressures from their peers, high school is still very full of cliques. I also love how they all share the same distaste for the authoritative Paul Gleason character
Believe it or not, I wasn't any of those types. Wasn't a nerd, wasn't a jock, wasn't a metal head, wasn't a browner, and wasn't a weirdo. I was just plain vanilla and completely flew under the radar. In middle school I was sort of a class clown, but that's it.
Notice how Jane Pauley was asking some good, interesting questions. Notice how well-dressed, modest, and well-behaved the young actors were. Notice how quiet the whole interview was, no music constantly playing or co-hosts interrupting with stupid questions and constantly laughing like hyenas. It's like it was a different world back then. A better world, actually.
For anyone who is a fan of Molly Ringwald she did another really great movie around this same time. It wasn't a John Hughes movie but it was right on par with how well it was done. A much darker movie, but very powerful, and Molly is wonderful in it. Called "Surviving". I highly recommend it.
They all seem nervous or some sort. There is a lot of brief silent between the questions. The 80s was really a different time. They were all well-spoken, that's for sure.
I was 9 when this movie came out and I was hypnotized the entire time I watched. When I was little, all we wanted to do was been teens. Not famous, not a celebrity, we just wanted to be teenagers. This movie, along with Pretty In Pink, 16 Candles, Weird Science, Ferris Buhler...made every kid in elementary school wanna get a drivers license. 🥺
I was forced to watch this movie at 8 or 9 as well as "Mask" by my mom's friend's older son, mom's friend, mom, and a few other oldies who wanted to go to the theater and see it. I wasn't thrilled about going I remember.
Judd Nelson should have had the total career that Robert Downey Jr had. His agent really let him down.
Really? I'd be curious to hear that story.
He did some really good stuff early on... then kind of faded away. I have no idea what happened.
Yeah youre probably right. But his part in New Jack City, I dont know, was kinda weak. Not sure, the script?
Facts
Chuck. He is. Cant you see it?
For those who might see Estevez as a "failed actor", don't. Early on, he found that his "true love' and talent was "behind the scenes". He got into producing and directing and had a long, successful, and happy career doing that.

wow back in the day when young actors / celebrities were a bit more modest, respectful and well spoken
"YASSS!" ... yes, indeed. And it will never be that way again, sadly.
Exactly. And when movies meant something more than just being movies.
I remember that time and these were the movies I grew up with... It brings me back so much when things was simpler. A happier time.
The 80s was a time of a magical ambience. It was more simple time. Those were the days. The World now has reached a decline with disrespect and brainwashed sheep 🐑
Molly was 17 or something here, while judd was in his 20's. Man, I was just way immature at 17 and even my mid 20's

But the clientele......the one or two 70s+ people that are the last of their group alive that havent died of liver failure yet, the 50's and 60's age group, 30s-40s age group and those in their 20's that dont realize they are looking at their own future in those others. They all get sloppy drunk, forgetting their dead end job and the town they never set foot out of and remember their glory days the would give anything to go back to. If you made a drinking game out of any time you heard someone say "remember back in highschool!" you'd be dead in 20 minutes.
I had fun in highschool, I had fun in college...but I had so many great experiences after and will to come. Yeah I'd like to have my 20 year old body back, but I sure as fuck don't want to go back in time.
Did your mom marry Mr. Rogers? No, Mr. Johnson
@Ken Lompart Haha! A line I forgot about.
YOUNG MAN....DID YOU FINISH YOUR PAPER!!!
Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe?
@@erb1998 I'll give you the answer to that next Saturday lol
Abraham Stinkin AND THE SATURDAY AFTER THAT!!!😠👈🏽
😂😂😭
I graduated high school in 1984. I went to school with everyone in the Breakfast Club. Great movie. Brings back memories for me.
But don't be fooled. Cool kids dressed like Madonna and talked like Valley Girls to express their 'individuality.' We had the same ratio of mean people and idiots that they have today. We were definitely not smarter than kids today. We followed the same rules as they do today just expressed in a different manner. You may think we dressed funny (and we sure did!) but when kids look back from the future to today they are going to think the same thing. And they'll be correct.
I was a burnout. That was my label. But I knew and talked with nerds, preppies and jocks. We were all in the same boat just like today. You can find comfort in your 'label' but when you break away from that label is when you see who you really are. That's what this movie says to me.
I was voted 'friendliest' in my senior class.
Embrace your label but don't let it hold you back.
Peace
PS: Our 'burnout' team beat the crap out of the 'jock' team in the end of the year softball tournament. So you never know.

I would have loved to been a teen in the 80s I was born in 91 so I don't remember a lot of the 90s but I do remember the early 2000s a lot and I'd give anything to trade that for the 80s. Everyone seemed so much more mature and fun
@@symonelove5841 If you had been a teen in the eighties you would be in your fifties like I am and struggling to remember what exactly your teen years were like.
Movies are great and nostalgic but they don't represent the true reality of what it was like back then.
Mature???? Let me introduce you to Dave Picininni, Danny Jones and Jeannie Landa. Then you tell me how mature '80's kids were.
Ha Ha :-)
Bryan Burton yup. I dressed like Madonna for awhile. I graduated in 1985. I had friends in all “cliques “. We all had our own little groups but mingled well. I always loved the bad boys like Bender. So sexy!
Bryan Burton but you have to admit everybody back then actually talked to each other because everybody wasn’t glued to their phone.
As a member of gen z, I want to thank you. I’m tired of older people shitting on my generation. It’s especially prevalent in the comments of old videos such as these.
Dont you...forget about me!
I love that song. Thank you so very much for posting it!! :-)
“Don’t you forget about me...don’t don’t don’t don’t you forget about me...rain keep falling rain keep falling down down down”
Simple Minds and I still have this record to! 💥👍🏼
On my Instagram with my daughter holding it!
Funny how a song can trigger a whole lot of past memories. Born im 84 but watched this movie as a kid. Thought they were smoking cigarettes till 97😂
Emilio is so talented. Actor, writer, director. He really did well of himself outside of his father's shadow.
If he gets up, we'll all get up, it'll be anarchy
I am Sparticus!
Love that line
The John Hughes trifecta of ‘Sixteen Candles (‘84), ‘The Breakfast Club’ (‘85) and ‘Pretty in Pink’ (‘86) defined my high school years (1983-87) in the Midwest. Gen Xers like myself had a had a movie 3 years in a row that seemed to capture our high school years so incredibly accurately. I treasure those movies. It’s like looking at my own HS yearbook.
And St. Elmo’s Fire to lead us into the college years. Great times
Save Ferris!
84 - 86 here. Miss those years.
86-89. Ferris
Also, Some kind of wonderful. 🎬🎞📽
Emilio estevez trying not to laugh his ass off the entire time is really a mood
Anthony looks SO different in his own style then in a lot of his 80’s movies, breakfast club, 16 candles etc. it was also weird and intriguing to see him in edward scissorhands as a completely different type of character. love it tho❤️❤️
I don't remember him being in scissorhands? Will have to look that up...
Tito Tim Travels you should! such a good movie won’t regret it. he plays the douchey boyfriend of winona ryder
He was also the “Dubai was lit” kid 😂
Check out Johnny B Goode. He got to play the high school football star.
@@TitoTimTravels Probably because he got MUCH bigger, all over, and stopped looking like a skinny boy. I always thought it was steroids in preparation for that football movie he made. His neck got really big, bigger than usual, it seemed to me.
When Michael's hair is the center of attention lol 5:47
😆 thinking the same truly 80s unruly reminds me of my mom's perm.
I thought he had kind of a "Bowie" thing goin' on
In Weird Science he had cool as fuck hair, he was growing it into that style around the time of this interview, in The Breakfast Club itself it was totally different, I remember it being almost a light ginger colour
One of the best 80s movies made. Perfect for an 80s teen! With a soundtrack and moments that stay with you for your whole life.
I turned 15 in 80` the eighties fkin rocked.
gibbyh65 turned 10 in 1980.
Wore skinny jeans back then which were referred to as skin tight jeans.
Those were the days.
Dam tall are old
Lol just playin
The 80s were shite.
I turned 16 in 1980. I really enjoyed the 80s... probably because the 70s sucked so bad. The 80s were better in every way, clothes, movies, and especially music.
So interesting how today interviews are never this "quiet". There always background music or cut to scenes from upcoming movies while people are talking. The 80s were just so unique I miss them. There was time to breathe and take in what you were watching. Today everything looks and feels like channel surfing.
For me, this was the most iconic movie of the 80s. Every time I see it, I want to go back and relive those days. Sometimes just hearing the theme song brings me to tears because I miss everyone and everything. Wish I could do it over.
I feel the same
Same. I’ll never forget seeing this movie in the theater.
Your not alone.....
You voiced the thoughts of a lot of us.
For me, it's St. Elmo's Fire
Look how young and cute Anthony Michael Hall is with his almost new wave hair. Love it.
A calm, respectful, humble interview. All of them have such good manners here. A fantastic movie absolutely. However, this interview and the atmosphere is incredible.
Judd Nelson’s performance in this CLASSIC movie, is the best I’ve seen him perform. I have watched this movie so many times, I can’t even remember how many times. But my heart still hurts for his character, because of Judd’s acting.
Judd Nelson is 60 years old now. Time really does slip away...
I am 10 years younger than Judd to the day
Michael J. Fox is 60. Tommy Cruise will be 60 next July. The 80's were a loooooooong time ago, people!
@@MrBdiddypop What's the point? Not as long ago as the 30's.
I think Judd was actually 25 or 26 when they made that movie and she screwed up his age. I always wondered why they picked someone so old to play a teenager in a movie. Then I realized that him being older and looking a little older, made him a more intimidating figure in the movie next to actual teenagers.
About time slipping away, one should know that as a child from having grandparents.
I remember playing the end of the Breakfast Club over and over, on my Betamax VCR.
Yes, I'm a dinosaur :)
The part where Bender walks across the field and thrusts his fist in the air?
@@bellmeisterful Hehe, that's the one xD
I’m old also. Going to high school in the 80’s ROCKED!
ツツ me too. We are not extinct. That is just an urban myth.
What’s a betamax vcr ?
Judd Nelson is so well read and sophisticated ugh I love him 😍 too bad he’s too old for me now 😭
If he was still 24 ;)
Who cares, as long as you are over 18! ;) he is still pretty good looking!
I miss the sets they used back then -- cozy, no overlit sets, loud music, no audience. It felt like you were sitting there with them. A nice, quiet start to the day.
My generation! Molly Ringwold was adorable and perfect for these movies.
the interviewer was making things awkward
That's Jane Pauley!
I got the sense that she wasn't really interested in them or the film.
Jane Pauley was probably the most famous morning anchor --- she just has that plastic persona that most TV people had in the 80's
I'm surprised with your comments. She looked and sounded very cute, natural and interested to me. I enjoyed her chemistry with her guests who also all looked/sounded natural and professional.
They’re all insecure kids. They’re just being typical, which is to say: awkward.
As a 1984 high school graduate, I can relate to all the characters in this movie. They remind me of my friends and kids that I interacted with every day. This movie certainly brings back memories.
*memories.
It's scary how much Martin Sheen's kids(especially Emilio) look like him.
Yea... genetics are scary
That's what happens. It's called genetics.
Aliesia watched Badlands the other day and the uncanniness to his father is amazing.
You feed em long enough and they start to look like you. 😎
or... as they say... mamma's baby, daddy's maybe ha ha
@@TitoTimTravels What a subtle and darkly hilarious reply. ONLY if you feed them! So dark. Tito Tim is more scary than hereditary resemblance!
Why is Michael actually so nice looking aghhh he is so dreamy 😂
He has a great, genuine smile.
who? AMH the kid who played Brian
I want to go back to 1985 knowing what I know today
Yeah, just like Michael J. Fox.. And also play “Everyvody Wants to Rule the World” in a loop..
It's important for anyone born more than nine months AFTER Mike plans to arrive in 1985 to hunt him down and KILL HIM if he gets anywhere near a time machine. The butterfly effect is inaccurate (sorry Ray Bradbury). You'd only need to look a few days downstream of a splintered timeline (not millions of years) to see MASSIVE causal disruption to world events. Only events well underway would continue as they did, and even then there would be countless different outcomes. It is virtually impossible for anyone conceived more than a few days after the target temporal incursion point to be conceived after the incursion. Consult a biologist or physician specializing in fertility and a particle physicist to completely understand why. No one's life history survives backward time travel. Everything changes almost instantly. The pandemic is a great example, given the alteration of life paths, movement on the planet's surface, pollution levels, countless other variables. Simply consider how quickly the virus infected tens of millions of people and you can see how the movement of molecules around the global is so quick. Viruses are made of molecules.
All this said, I am SO with you there, brother Mike. 1985 was THE BEST year of my life, by far. It's certainly cliche to say "knowing what I know now..." but it's so true for me in that year. My best year could have been so much better. Mostly true pertaining to interpersonal relationships, but then there's PCs and the internet tech boom, the burgeoning crisis with then CIA operative and family friend of the Bushes, Osama Bin Laden, not to mention the defective O-rings on Challenger, the tragedy of Pee-Wee Herman making that ONE LITTLE MISTAKE in a darkened theater...so many things I would want to prevent or make better.
Then I think of all the young people I love who only exist as a result of all the terrible things I'd stop or the world-changing benefits I could bring to the new time line. Not one single person born in 1987 or beyond would exist. Don't misunderstand me, it's not like life would end, or people would stop having babies, it's that none of them...NONE...would be conceived at just the right moment, with the same combination of gametes, the exact "load" launched, the same angle of ejaculate trajectory...etc.
The odds of any of us being exactly who we are, genetically, by our parent's union is 1:8,000,000+, then take into account all of the factors, including temperature, gravity, air pressure, body position, choices effecting intensity and timing of ejaculation, and the fact that there are more than 300,000,000,000 sperm vying to be the one that reaches the egg first (talk about a zero-sum game!) and you can see how even the most minute change in the day's events leading to copulation would nearly eliminate the same person being conceived. Think about all the hundreds of thousands of tiny decisions we make (35,000 consciously, nearly 400,000 unconsciously) during the course of a day. Traveling back in time, and making changes (especially the BIG ones you might WANT to make) would cause a tidal wave of causality that would circle the globe in just a few hours, causing noticeable changes in a few days. Just on my own in 1985, I could choose to slow down or even reverse the slow collapsing of the Soviet Union by revealing privileged information I have about the nature of the Strategic Defense Initiative hoax conspiracy. I would have been able to contact specific journalists, politicians, and members of academia who would have been in a position to expose the fraud of the "Star Wars Defense System" and reveal that it was a ploy to bankrupt the Soviets by forcing them into a new arms race they simply could not afford. Would I do that? Well, I might, if I was 16 again and thought it could get me laid!
Wow! I was 14 when this movie hit the theaters. I remember watching it with my best friend thinking how real all the characters were. What a brilliant movie, at a brilliant time in history. There will be nothing like the 80’s. Probably the best era ever to be young.
If you were in HS when this movie came out, then you knew every type of person portrayed. The only ones they left out, was Stoner/Metalhead, and Preppy.
This was from a central Missouri high school. Individual results may vary
I’m now 52 and this movie changed my life as a teenager. I still remember how it made me a better person. I was the jock in HS and had many friends like the people in that detention.
Judd was hands down the best performance.
yeah well he had the best part
I was 10 years older than the target group that this movie was aimed at, but I still enjoyed it, but I was very surprised that this group of performers did not become superstars---not even close! I really liked Ally Sheedy, especially in "Short Circuit"; but poor Judd Nelson's career as a major leading man could not possibly be sustained after he starred in such wretched movies as "Blue City" and "From The Hip".
Agree
I was *profoundly* in love with Judd for so many years. ❤️ I understood John Bender.
same :)
Yah I'd have given him one of every earring I had.
Oh yeah.... SO SEXY with that sad little boy face. ❤️ SWOON!
The Big Chill, St. Elmo's Fire(Middle Chill), The Breakfast Club(The Baby Chill).
Love all 3 of them.
jpmel1 movies in the 80’s were awesome.
Always had a thing for the Ally Sheedy recluse character types.
Absolutely ... I can totally relate
Emilio was the absolute best Billy the Kid that was every portrayed
Anthony Michael Hall 🤤🤤🤤😍😩👌👌
Marii Ren one of my favourite 80’s stars.
Ikkkk to me his voice is calming and he’s so cute😩😍🤧🥴
Marii Ren if only you knew how physically and psychologically abusive he has been to the many women who have had relationships with him in real life, Trisha Paytas was one of his victims... He’s a scumbag...
Monchhichi Gabe wow really?
Anthony Michael Hall's hair is way cool here!!!
He looks awesome here
He was probably filming (or had just finished filming) Weird Science
Yeah he looks the same as he did in that movie
I Love how they don't give away too much. Great interview. Fun to hear well spoken interviews.
Ally Sheedy was such a fox :P
Forgot how cute Judd Nelson was! ❤ He's Brian Kinney and a young Pacino.
I totally agree! Uh....with the Pacino part.
Does anybody like him?? Emilio’s face 😂😂
Sara Katelyn I liked him since this movie till now!! He was once more famous than any of his co stars!!!
I'm in love with him haha
Very cute ahah
Literally what are you talking about? Judd loves the film and the iconic status it holds. He did not get along with John Hughes though.
@@johnroe5135 emilioooooooòoooooo
Could you describe the ruckus Sir
Show Dick some respect!
If he gets up, we’ll ALL get up, it’ll be anarchy! /Does Barry Manilow know your raid his wardrobe? /You’re a NEOMAXIZOOMDWEEBIE. /You are a parents wet dream. /Do I STUTTER? / ...... He had the best lines and was so believable. He had this lost little boy look and in the scene where the Principal is threatening to hit him his face breaks my heart every time. He’s an abused kid who projects this tough guy image but is really just scared and sweet. That is CATNIP to the girls!
She is 16 here and sounds very mature for her age. He is in his early 20's and is also mature for his age. Very impressive.
Judd has such a soothing voice lol!
This is a timeless movie. I could watch it over and over and never get tired of it. Great cast, great script. They don't make them like this anymore. "I wanna be an airborne ranger!"
One of the greatest films ever made that still holds true today❤
They are all so cute. I can’t handle it!
Judd Nelson hadn’t changed a bit, he is such a real down to Earth person.
Sheedy's character was by far the most intriguing to me. She was the most outside the box.
Without any question, this is my favorite movie. I can quote every line in this movie. The actors were so outstanding that the plot was overshadowed to say the least. I think everyone who watched it can relate to at least one of the characters. If not, you certainly know someone in school who is one of them......!
I liked St. Elmos Fire a lot too. Many of the same actors.
I was watching this with my dad the other week and he kept saying the lines seconds before the characters said them, he hasn't watched the breakfast Club in years!
1:16 omg that smile😍
Beautiful smile 💗
Oh man. The CRUSH I had on Judd/Bender!
I didn't have a crush on him, but I wanted to _be_ him lol
Netflix took it off and I'm fuming
>:(
foreal!? bitch im suing
@@niayo8911 exactly thank you!
It's still available on Netflix Japan. Haha!
I WAS THERE THE MOMENT THEY TOOK IT OFF, AND IMMA FUCKING SUE.
Good ol' Netflix. Always taking away what we love.......
thank you very much for all these interviews this is incredible 💞💞
I don't have a list of favorite directors but John Hughes is definitely my favorite director. Many people talk about Spielberg, etc.. all those big names.. but John to me is just untouchable. So glad for his movies.
the way emilio looks at ally is so cute ♡
You see this is what happens at my house when you spill paint in the garage!
Looks to be about the size of a cigar to me. ;)
DO I STUTTER?
Ally Sheedy always had the cutest smile
Michael’s voice is just...*AH*
They played those characters so well. I loved that movie
Still do
One of the greatest movies from the 80’s!
Your kidding TANGO AND CASH 💸 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Honestly I wish I was born in the 80s. Breakfast club is my all time favourite movie and honestly I love the cast. It's just so fascinating to see how life was so simple and kind in the 80s. And also Anthony Michael Hall is 🥵
'So simple and kind'? It depends where you live or what school you go to...or luck. School can be a harsh environment whatever the decade.
Anthony Michael Hall dated Trisha Paytas years ago 😬
Then u would have wanted be been have born in 68 69 or 70 to fully to have appreciated this movie in the 80's
I was born in 70. Believe me, if you grew up in the 80s, you wouldn’t have fully appreciated it until 20-30 years later. We were just getting by, but it was a magical decade.
Ally still seems to be Allison in this interview. Lol
2024 and I still believe that TBC was the best 80's movie EVER! Thank you to all of you beautiful actors for contributing something so complex as youth(!) and sharing it for generations... You all are the BRAT Pack. Glad a BC 2 was never made. You can't fix beautiful.
People were so normal and natural. TV used to be so much better.
It's a breath of fresh air to come back and see how different things seemed to be during this time. You just don't see this type of interaction on camera on major media outlets nowadays.
@Vince Belfort I'm talking about the juxtaposition of people being interviewed on tv in the 1980s vs 2010-2020s. Based on your comment, your taking a pretty cursory approach that it's just people talking. I was referring to how way the people the people are talking to each other, their facial expressions, their delay, everything, it's much different then what you see today. It's an effect of time and change. It's nice to be able to go back and appreciate it.
the quintessential 80's teen movie and the greatest high school film ever. thank you, John Hughes
The cast and film is one of the greatest things ever, I love how John Hughes was solidly able to write five different types of characters and pull them all together with similar parental problems or pressures from their peers, high school is still very full of cliques. I also love how they all share the same distaste for the authoritative Paul Gleason character
Believe it or not, I wasn't any of those types. Wasn't a nerd, wasn't a jock, wasn't a metal head, wasn't a browner, and wasn't a weirdo. I was just plain vanilla and completely flew under the radar. In middle school I was sort of a class clown, but that's it.
@@chiefscheider never said you had to be any of those types lol
Notice how Jane Pauley was asking some good, interesting questions. Notice how well-dressed, modest, and well-behaved the young actors were. Notice how quiet the whole interview was, no music constantly playing or co-hosts interrupting with stupid questions and constantly laughing like hyenas. It's like it was a different world back then. A better world, actually.
good interview but tbh some of her questions seemed a little out of context
Notice how this is from 1985
For anyone who is a fan of Molly Ringwald she did another really great movie around this same time. It wasn't a John Hughes movie but it was right on par with how well it was done. A much darker movie, but very powerful, and Molly is wonderful in it. Called "Surviving". I highly recommend it.
its on youtube! czcams.com/video/BcjncK2OaaE/video.html
They all seem nervous or some sort. There is a lot of brief silent between the questions. The 80s was really a different time. They were all well-spoken, that's for sure.
Helped me tremendously and still own a record
& dvd now of it. Won of my favorite movies @ 49!
Awesome movie 🎥, never get bored of it.
I still watch it, in my 40s.
Breakfast Club and Fast Times...
Our generation
Lol the generation that doesn't exist (X).
Floyd Zepplin Fast times in 1982 had that early 80’s feel to it
*The Quintessential 80's Movie.*
That was a Great Movie. Nice interviews. Thank huh for posting this. 😍❤️
Ahhhh. Wish I could go back to 1985. Simpler times. I was 13 & all my Grandparents were alive. Loved all of these 80s, brat pack movies.
I was 9 when this movie came out and I was hypnotized the entire time I watched. When I was little, all we wanted to do was been teens. Not famous, not a celebrity, we just wanted to be teenagers. This movie, along with Pretty In Pink, 16 Candles, Weird Science, Ferris Buhler...made every kid in elementary school wanna get a drivers license. 🥺
I was forced to watch this movie at 8 or 9 as well as "Mask" by my mom's friend's older son, mom's friend, mom, and a few other oldies who wanted to go to the theater and see it. I wasn't thrilled about going I remember.
