***** It's fun to think about, but I actually honestly cannot see a remake of this movie coming out as nicely as the original. These days the studios just take stuff that is already out there and they either adapt it or remake it into something that fans of the original end up hating and might only get new fans if they're lucky like Resident Evil or Mission Impossible. A Breakfast Club remake would mean having to come up with a new soundtrack and maybe even new songs. Also it could end up being a joke or a parody which and what if all the awesome tense and serious material gets turned down. I have to agree. This movie is a classic and it has and it will continue to stand the test of time. It has even influenced the characters of my comic.
Please for the love of all that is holy DO NOT make a re-make of Breakfast Club... Don't ruin a Classic Masterpiece that has NOTHING to do with these times now.
Please and thank you! 1:40 Thank GOD this brainwashed "opinion" didn't affect this film and, namely, the many other GREAT movies that predated this psychobabble that has poisoned today's media.
There's nothing wrong with an all White cast. There's nothing wrong with an all Black cast (Friday is one of my favorite all-time comedies). I'm tired of forced diversity. Can't we have all possible permutations?
cqtaylor So what's your point? There were FIVE detention students...not half the school. Statistics allow it. Nevertheless, the typical detention student is definitely NOT as interesting as the cast. My point is that this is a great movie and I'm tired of forced diversity.
cqtaylor You must be very young or very naive. Try the YT video "Cannibal warlords of Liberia." 100% Black. Go have a taste of that 'diversity' and tell me what you think ;-) After that, go Google search how post-apartheid is working out in South Africa. (Hint - it's not good). You obviously have a chip on your shoulder.
No, there's nothing wrong with an all white cast, but there's nothing wrong with a diverse class either. My high school was all over the place with white, Mexican, Asian, black, honor Society/college prep, regular ed., remedial ed., special ed., special day class students. Heck, my Algebra I I teacher had an accent so thick it took two weeks before I understood a word he said
You know, it just occurred to me, that the real message in the movie is stated in the theme song, "Don't You Forget About Me." It is about diversity in that the message is that we're really not so different from that other guy after all.
Racial diversity? Not for the sake of it. If you're watching a show or movie and appreciating racial diversity, you're watching it for the wrong reasons.
If the characters had been of mixed races, the conflict would have taken on the tones of a race war. This movie was about teenage angst, not the civil rights movement or school integration. That being said, it still sucked. The school was big enough for these five students not to know each other, yet ONLY five students were sentenced to a (highly improbable!] Saturday detention? Show me a public high school, anywhere, any decade, where that happened.
the high-school I graduated at had Saturday detention and it was a shitty enough punishment that most people figured out how not to get caught. I think for the time 5 people was a perfect number because it showed the major stereotypes of students in the 80's. No need to get so angry over a movie, so what if it's a little improbable, it's for your entertainment and not to be seriously analysed like you're doing.
+Orion Xavier are you worried that you may find that other races may at their core be just like you and want the same things in life? why does diversity scare you?
which is why they said not a remake but something inspired by would be better. But it seems you then are afraid to find that you may find that you and a "transgender, queer, or lesbian" may turn out to be at their core be just as good as you. If it doesn't you may want to stop calling people queer, since it's considered a negative slur. Gay males are usually fine with gay. While there are a few gays that are outspoken on that word, it's not how most would take it.
@@pjaybasmaignee Exactly!… but 35 years later, it’s all of the sudden “problematic” that there weren’t enough ethnic characters in the movie.

This film just couldnt be remade now. It wouldnt work - it captured a time when that idea was original and new, and no netflix, cgi, terrorism, and internet. But leave this alone - films often are labelled classics - all too often. This is a classic. Leave it alone. Its a white character film - its not racist - if we had black people in it - then the wannabe racists police would say "hey, you have black people in detention. thats racist and creating a sterotype". Simply - its not relevant no blacks in it - what so ever. Its just white kids in a school which millions of people can identify with and for those where about there age back then - like myself - connect with it powerfully. Rant over - dont even dare try to remake this.
This is a movie that still holds up today pretty much, it's a movie that still speaks to every new generation.... there is honestly no need for a remake.
when this movie came out whites were 80% of the population. now that they only account for 60% of the population and america's much more diverse a remake makes sense. but nothing can replace the oringal.
It doesn't matter about race or culture. People no matter where they're from can still like the movie and relate to it. Just because the cast wasn't a mixture of races, doesn't mean people can't relate to the characters. Skin colour is just skin colour; the personalities is what we share. And we don't have to in every movie or show, videogame etc. have to "represent" every culture or skin colour. Because if we did, there'd be thousands of characters appearing in it. There are 1000s of cultures and different skin colours out there; it'd be impossible to include everyone. It's just a stupid idea. Just make characters well written, instead of making it all about inclusivity all the time. And by far, going along with that whole inclusive route is the reason most movies, shows and videogames fail today; as the directors and writers are focusing more on their skin colour than good character arcs and story telling.@@crackawood
Saying the casting of Breakfast Club wasn't "Diverse Enough" is a slap in the face of the actors who made that movie with you, Molly. Who in the cast do you think should have been replaced? Whose performance was so simple that "anyone" could have done it just as well and still made that film a classic. A film is the sum of it's performances, change one and you change your film.
Like most of hollyweird, they've been indoctrinated. 1:40 Thank GOD this brainwashed "opinion" didn't affect this film and, namely, the many other GREAT movies that predated this psychobabble that has poisoned today's media miscreants.
Good for them for not wanting to support a remake. There are way to many cash grab remakes now. If its done right though it could work but I highly doubt it.
How come Hollywood never remakes horrible movies? I mean they keep fucking up with remakes of good ones, why not remake the shit out of a bad one and see if it turns into a better movie? What do you got to loose? A horrible remake of a horrible movie? I cannot see that being possible.
@@lisadiconti They weren't being political correct, they were basically saying the movie was good but wasn't realistic because there weren't that many black people in it. BUT I disagree with them about not making a reboot.
Why does a movie have to incorporate diversity? Why can't someone just tell a story without having to tac on some unecessary diversity? Imagine a boyz in the hood remake where Cuba has a white transgender best friend who together they overcome the societal pressures of gang life and gender equality.
Great point u have there, SJWs only complains on movies where predominate white ppl, but i don't hear a fucking thing about all black ppl movies, justo think about a remake of menace 2 society, a white trans no binary tomboy as O-dog and a gay vegan asian as Caine
@Mr. Pickles diversity is reality and people want to see realistic movies dumbass. When's the last time you walked through a mall and only seen one race of people? You've got to be a Trumpian. Do you think there's only one race in America? America is the most Diverse country in the world. Actually I don't even think there's any countries left in the world that's just one race. If there is I hope you and Trump go there and stay.
+Helium Road Yeah you me and millions of others, She had really "Nice software" in Short Circuit too. NO REMAKE of the breakfast club please, it will be SH*T
Molly is a phenomenal actress, really, the way she projects micro expressions with the least of dialogue is just a rare thing to witness, people should pay more attention to the details and how well-made and executed these films are both dramatically and technically as teen films.
Library never exsisted. They utilized a run down schools (to be demo'd) Gym and built the Library from scatch. To this day - I think would be the most killer library ever!!! HUGE John Huges fan here!!!
Molly should have passed on the script in 1985. Why didn't she tell John Hughes that a black actress should be cast instead of her. OHHH...She worried about it being racist now. I get it.
This movie means everything for me. I think I can watch it over and over and over and over again. Weird Science remains a huge pleasure for me too. Anthony Michael Hall was such a young talented boy.
I watched the movie for the first time a few days ago because I heard it was an american classic and I did not know about the movie before because I'm French. Not a single time while watching it was I thinking about how "white" the movie was. American people are really strange nowadays.
Yes and amen. 1:40 Thank GOD this brainwashed "opinion" didn't affect this film and, namely, the many other GREAT movies that predated this psychobabble that has poisoned today's media nutcakes.
NO REMAKE of the movie PLEASE! For following reasons 1) Kids of this decade will realise their parents may then have *More Fun at school 30 years ago* as kids. 2) The only concealed weapon in school then was a switchblade (as carried by John Bender), Not a handgun. 3) Girls then wear Long skirts, Button up blouses and Boots (by Claire and Allison)and yet can still look sexy. 4)Jennifer Beals (Flashdance) was then the "IT" girl. Flashdance was then the coolest movie 5) Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, smartphones and internet were then *All Non Existent*. Microsoft was then still a start-up 6) It's still OK to be a Basket Case (Allison Reynolds) at that time. 7)Wearing white panties (by Claire) was then fashionable. 8)Your vice principal indeed raids Barry Manilow's wardrobe 9) Nike singlets (as worn by Andrew) were cool 30 years ago and still is cool today 10) Your parents' issues with Their Parents *were the Same* as what kids 30 years later with their parents.
Load of nonsense, except for the online social media part. And this is THE part which makes a remake impossible. Kids today would be chatting to their friends on Facebook or Tweet endlessly so they'd have no reason to talk to the others.
I went to an all white school, it happens. There are a lot of shows on TLC and BET that are all black cast. I have seen Indian movies and all people are Indian. Everyone wants to be diverse but there are places where things aren’t and do not have to be. It’s ok to keep one culture or nationality as a whole. It’s not racist just because we didn’t add this type of person to make the audience feel “comfortable”.
Why would anyone call out black shows/movies, they make up a faction of the amount of white shows/movies. If you're only comfortable seeing white people on screen then just own up to it. The Breakfast Club is a classic, and people of other races enjoyed it and also wanna see themselves on screen as well. White people will NEVER run out of movies to be cast in, lol
Most Hated so you feel white people need MORE acting roles than they already have? You feel that the few amount of black films out there for black actors need to have less black actors and more white actors? Please tell me you aren't that stupid.
You should remake something because you can either execute it differently or better. Remaking something for the sake of making it more diverse is just as pointless as remaking something so you can make the special effects better. If you can't do what really matters better ( things that matter being character, story, tone and meaning ) just don't bother. I always thought a semi-sequel to The Breakfast Club would be cool to tackle other cliques that weren't addressed in the first one. But nowadays it would be the gay kid, the transgendered kid, the white girl that accepts them (and probably has anxiety disorder and depression), the black kid, the white cis-gendered male shitlord bully, you get my point. Doing that isn't being diverse, it's pandering.
They recently brought back saved by the bell and made it woke, and it's ruined. Same with the jay and silent bob reboot, again, ruined because of woke crap rammed down out throats. Surely we should be able to make a film about whatever we want without having to worry if it's "diverse" enough. It ceases to become an art form then, and that's just pandering.
I think a remake would be more like to modernise the period to something that could happen in 2023 as opposed to late 1970s(which is the period i think the original story was written for ).
Of course they shouldn't make a remake. If they did one now, it'd be nauseatingly p.c. They'd have to have every skin color in there (or the snowflakes would freak), and the dialogue would be as lame as a Kanye song. Leave the 80s alone, Hollywood.
Notice how they want to remake "white" movies to include diversity, but no one calls for films like "Boyz N the Hood" to be remade to include diversity. I'd call it "Fellows in the Suburbs". What's good on one side is good on the other side. Squid pro quo.
If you were raised in the 80s ,you could totally remember getting detention after school or going to Saturday detention til noon. I hated it. Then just because of this movie we'll leave outta the class room and cut up. GOD Those years are gone. Is it me ,or when that movie goes off with Judd Nelson pumping his fist up in the air, it feels like that time is saying goodbye. The movie, the memories, and the song by Simple Minds brings tears to your eyes. The joy of the 80s are gone but never forgotten
Back in the 80s n 90s in England a detention would be staying behind an extra hour after school finished (that was middle school) And in high school it was an all day detention sat in an isolation booth in school hours. Not even the uk was cruel enough to make kids come back to school on a weekend. 😂
I was in high school in the 80’s and never got detention, I did however get caught ditching by my Sunday school teacher, who was an LAPD officer at the time. 😬 That was my detention.
It's one of those films that you can NEVER remake. NEVER. There are a unwritten list of films out there that are virtually IMPOSSIBLE to remake. A few I can think of off the top of my head: Harold and Maude, The Godfather (1 + 2), Back To The Future, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Star Wars, The Exorcist, Farris Bueler's Day Off, The Last Detail and many more.
if they had a remake it would never work..you would need a token black person and an Asian and the teacher would have to be gay and there would be some pretentious pop star in it like Miley Cyrus or Taylor Swift and then the kids would have smart phones in the library and it would be a complete disaster especially for the suckers who paid $14.00 and another 8 for popcorn to see it
Oh jeez. Just because it doesn't have an ethnically diverse cast doesn't mean it doesn't speak to everyone who ever went to school. We all experienced the same social and family situations described in this movie. That kind of comment just asks for more tokenism in movies. The same script could be made with an ethnically diverse cast; we're not just sitting around talking about race all the time and aren't so narrowminded that we feel we need to see someone "like us" to relate.
@@mgeek1 what a load of bollox! Lol. No one asks you to do sh!t bro. You're free to be whoever you want to be, and do whatever you want to do. What you just said is a cop out. Whty don't understand, my ass. 🤦♂️😂
The way things are going they will make a move called "politically correct club" about every single race/gender in one classroom which just happens to be a "safe space" lololol
They would all be sitting in their safe space whining about how hard & unfair life is bashing all white people while eating lunches, using smartphones & wearing clothing provided by their parents who told them how special they are.
I miss Emelio Estevez. I know he's into wine, the making of it. However, it would be nice to see him in a movie, again. Stake-Out 1 & 2, my favorite. Come back, Emelio!! You are very missed!!
They remade Ghostbusters with an all female cast except the gay guy who replaced the female receptionist. That movie flopped at the box ofgice. Thank God I never watch remakes of classics even when they are shown for free on regular t.v. I hate anything that pushes P.C. madness.

Funny because almost everything that has come out of their(especially Political Dem leaders)mouths , and especially the last 4 yrs, is full of vile, hateful, hypocritical, aggressive and so sneaky and conniving, I'm not saying other Political groups haven't done some bullshitting etc.. But as an outsider who sat back watching and observing everything from the beginning who watched ALL the debates, speeches etc.. of all the candidates and WOW after Trump won they became a disrespectful bunch of haters and it was the democrats that started all the hatred, violence, ex-stream separation getting (by bullshitting) dems against repub or conservatives and visa versa, Everything went crazy.. lol, I was shocked and felt bad for everyone being so bitter and hateful to each other. Anyways that was just my and many others way up here's observation . I always considered myself a pretty liberal person throughout my life but definatly changed my opinion while listening to all those debates and speeches etc back 4 yrs ago ..lol.. Hope we can just agree to disagree or just converse instead of being mean or hateful to one another. :) Cheers!
I was 16 [same age as two of the actors] when is was released in '85. It is a classic coming of age film. The whole diversity thing resonates as fake P.C. to me. Sure FFW to 2017 and lets have every possible teen social niche represented in every possible color and sexual preference variation possible...the cast would need to be about 40 kids, fun story line that would be. There have been countless TV/motion pictures inspired by this and other films that were 'more' diverse. One that comes to mind was DeGrassi High that ran for about two seasons in the early 90's and saw syndication for some time after that...You have to understand the single focus of the film was not about race but social standing; that actually transcends many of the other parts of a teens life of nearly every/any era. That seemingly five 'white' kids who outwardly appear similar could not me more different. You could cast an all black, brown or Asian cast and nearly the same message would resonate. Being a teen is not an easy journey.
Yes, human emotions are not based on race. To say someone who's not white can't relate to this movie is like saying that white people shouldn't try to relate to Do the Right Thing. What a sad commentary on people's ability to have empathy that would be.
I am a person from third world country and I can relate to these white people too, it's about character and story. It's always good to have diversity but that doesn't mean the movie is bad
Color doesn’t matter. I watch foreign movies all the time. I don’t watch Korean movies and think “I’m not represented in Korean Movies. Tears. Sadness. Violin music!” I identify with the characters and value them no matter what language they’re speaking or what they look like.
Disappointing to hear Molly Ringwald parrot the PC diversity line. Diversity isn't necessarily good or bad. A lack of diversity isn't necessarily good or bad.
Rain Jones Free thinker? You're a dogmatic thinker. You sure as hell aren't an honest one. The really real world doesn't give a fuck about your idealism. Fuck your feelings and your sacred cows. Intellectual coward. I guess I'm a heretic in your eyes because I seek the truth even though sometimes its a buzzkill maaaaannn
Reggie1971la they're missing the point. It's diversity of ideas/personalities we should strive for. Imposing a racial diversity IS rascist in my mind. The races are far more alike than they are different compared to people's intellectual difference.
Dumb remark by Molly Ringwald regarding a remake. As a classmate of the 80's;- this was based on White Kids and the things they went through. Having other races would not be realistic. This is not prejudice but true.
The statement she made was cut off during the editing process. If you watch the actual full interview, it was very straightforward and not racial profiling in the least bit. The full comment she made was taking into account not just race and ethnicity but also the LGBTQ movement. That is what she meant when saying that the movie could be revamped and brought up to modern day issues.... Although the I don't think they should ever make another. This is a classic. We don't want it to turn into another "fuller house" Hana but back to the main point.... Editings a bitch....
Best..movie..ever. No remakes. Leave it as the legend that it is.
Yup :)

Like most of hollyweird, they've been indoctrinated. 1:40 Thank GOD this brainwashed "opinion" didn't affect this film and, namely, the many other GREAT movies that predated this psychobabble that has poisoned today's media miscreants.
Molly DOES NOT age. It's astounding.
Good for them for not wanting to support a remake. There are way to many cash grab remakes now. If its done right though it could work but I highly doubt it.
Jman Rising if they make a remake it would be bad like mean girls 2
This movie is timeless
And the song from the movie. Classic in every way. No remake please.
Molly was really one of the best young actresses I've ever seen, she's just so good and captures that time period perfectly.
Girl next door, in every sense
There could never be another cast for that movie!
You said it----most beautifully.
How come Hollywood never remakes horrible movies? I mean they keep fucking up with remakes of good ones, why not remake the shit out of a bad one and see if it turns into a better movie? What do you got to loose? A horrible remake of a horrible movie? I cannot see that being possible.
They remade Dirty Dancing and that movie sucked.
That's true. I never thought of it that that way.
wow...they feel ashamed that its all white. incredible. great movie and they feel ashamed.
There not ashamed they just darnt say anything other cus yano hw it is nowadays,fuck they'd b slated
I agree. We must always be politically correct these days.
@@lisadiconti They weren't being political correct, they were basically saying the movie was good but wasn't realistic because there weren't that many black people in it. BUT I disagree with them about not making a reboot.
They are not ashamed! LOL
Did it hurt you little white privilege sense to hear this? Poor you!
Why does a movie have to incorporate diversity? Why can't someone just tell a story without having to tac on some unecessary diversity? Imagine a boyz in the hood remake where Cuba has a white transgender best friend who together they overcome the societal pressures of gang life and gender equality.
Great point u have there, SJWs only complains on movies where predominate white ppl, but i don't hear a fucking thing about all black ppl movies, justo think about a remake of menace 2 society, a white trans no binary tomboy as O-dog and a gay vegan asian as Caine
Imagine “The Wood,” except it’s three white boys at a prep school.
Jewish Agenda
😂😂😂 I’m literally pissing myself
@Mr. Pickles diversity is reality and people want to see realistic movies dumbass. When's the last time you walked through a mall and only seen one race of people? You've got to be a Trumpian. Do you think there's only one race in America? America is the most Diverse country in the world. Actually I don't even think there's any countries left in the world that's just one race. If there is I hope you and Trump go there and stay.
Huge crush on Ally Sheedy back in the day.
me too, just sumting about d dark look
+Helium Road Yeah you me and millions of others, She had really "Nice software" in Short Circuit too. NO REMAKE of the breakfast club please, it will be SH*T
No Remake of "Dirty Dancing" movie too!!
Just "no remakes" of anything. Just make it stop.
me2 ;)
If Hollywood steals this one from Gen X, the response is gonna be ugly. Real ugly.
Being from that era I had a huge crush for Ally. She was so dark and mysterious.
Molly is a phenomenal actress, really, the way she projects micro expressions with the least of dialogue is just a rare thing to witness, people should pay more attention to the details and how well-made and executed these films are both dramatically and technically as teen films.
Those were the days. I wish I could go back.
Millions of us are with you on this topic. Living today feels like Mars vs Venus.
They are so gorgeous.
nah, Molly had aged ....
Doesn't matter.
The bad boy John Bender is now an old Gramp
Library never exsisted. They utilized a run down schools (to be demo'd) Gym and built the Library from scatch. To this day - I think would be the most killer library ever!!! HUGE John Huges fan here!!!
Funny how in their interviews from that time they seem so natural and open about their parts and now it's just typical catchphrases.
Molly should have passed on the script in 1985. Why didn't she tell John Hughes that a black actress should be cast instead of her. OHHH...She worried about it being racist now. I get it.
Ugh! Molly Ringwald being racist against white people, and demanding "diversity" in a remake. Such a turn off!
As an African American I like this movie left alone. It represents a time and Era. Leave it alone.
U can't fuck with a classic. Leave that masterpiece alone. 1 of the best movies ever!!!!!!!!!
I want a remake with an all European American cast!
Me too
The internet pretty much destroyed the world , the 80s was the last decade of real life ! I miss it!
Hear that Hollywood? Don’t ever think about remaking John Hughes classics or there will be consequences.
God forbid there's not all sides of the race rainbow represented.
No PC remakes
These 2 went woke before woke was even a thing.
If they made a remake today it would be 90 minutes of 5 kids on their cellphones,
The past called these two. It wants its integrity back.
This movie means everything for me. I think I can watch it over and over and over and over again. Weird Science remains a huge pleasure for me too. Anthony Michael Hall was such a young talented boy.
I saw it on the big screen for the first time recently and I was in tears when the movie started.
I watched the movie for the first time a few days ago because I heard it was an american classic and I did not know about the movie before because I'm French.
Not a single time while watching it was I thinking about how "white" the movie was.
American people are really strange nowadays.
No we're not..... We're still the same.... It's just the Media and the Government that have gotten weird Sam. ;)
@@secariusprime4217
Yep.
let me guess. youre white
@@shorx9199 100% algerian, sorry. Seems like your racist beliefs are not 100% accurate after all...
Had a huge crush on Molly Ringwald in all her movies and just her as a person all thru the 80's. Okay, the crush is still there in 2024.
"It's so white" And there is what is wrong with the world today.
would you mind if it was all black?
@@shorx9199
Imagine saying that "Boyz n the Hood" is too black and need more diversity.
It seems like only yesterday.
okrajoe It sure does! I remember seeing the trailer for it on our T.V. with rabbit ears! Lol great memories.
I agree ...no remake, but if they want diversity how about bring Long Duk Dong in? BONZAAIIIIIIII
" What the hell are you bitching about,........I have to sleep under some Chinaman named after a duck's dork" lol
Yeah,bring him back,you don't got to have a black in EVERY movie.
lol that was such a fucking stupid comment. thanks, needed that chuckle
Anthony Emanuel You do not need a white in every movie either
Oh sexy girrrrllllfrienddd!
Hollywood really does need to stop trying to remake everything
Victorious already remade it and they did a helluva good job
Mod_ThunderWolf what tf did u expect it’s a teen show of course there not gonna do or say the exact shit this movie did
Molly and Ally , huge crush ! Awesome movie !
"It's so incredibly white" - really?
Why should it include racial diversity. Leave it alone already.
Never seen Molly blonde, it suits her but I love her red hair.
This classic dosen't need a remake, its a brilliant film "AS IS"
Yes and amen. 1:40 Thank GOD this brainwashed "opinion" didn't affect this film and, namely, the many other GREAT movies that predated this psychobabble that has poisoned today's media nutcakes.
NO REMAKE of the movie PLEASE! For following reasons
1) Kids of this decade will realise their parents may then have *More Fun at school 30 years ago* as kids.
2) The only concealed weapon in school then was a switchblade (as carried by John Bender), Not a handgun.
3) Girls then wear Long skirts, Button up blouses and Boots (by Claire and Allison)and
yet can still look sexy.
4)Jennifer Beals (Flashdance) was then the "IT" girl. Flashdance was then the coolest movie
5) Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, smartphones and internet were then *All Non Existent*. Microsoft was then still a start-up
6) It's still OK to be a Basket Case (Allison Reynolds) at that time.
7)Wearing white panties (by Claire) was then fashionable.
8)Your vice principal indeed raids Barry Manilow's wardrobe
9) Nike singlets (as worn by Andrew) were cool 30 years ago and still is cool today
10) Your parents' issues with Their Parents *were the Same* as what kids 30 years later with their parents.
Load of nonsense, except for the online social media part. And this is THE part which makes a remake impossible. Kids today would be chatting to their friends on Facebook or Tweet endlessly so they'd have no reason to talk to the others.
One of my favorite classics!
I went to an all white school, it happens. There are a lot of shows on TLC and BET that are all black cast. I have seen Indian movies and all people are Indian. Everyone wants to be diverse but there are places where things aren’t and do not have to be. It’s ok to keep one culture or nationality as a whole. It’s not racist just because we didn’t add this type of person to make the audience feel “comfortable”.
Michael Anderson k
Why would anyone call out black shows/movies, they make up a faction of the amount of white shows/movies. If you're only comfortable seeing white people on screen then just own up to it. The Breakfast Club is a classic, and people of other races enjoyed it and also wanna see themselves on screen as well. White people will NEVER run out of movies to be cast in, lol
_"Why would anyone call out black shows/movies"_
Because they don't have white people in them, dumbass. Are you paying attention?
Most Hated so you feel white people need MORE acting roles than they already have? You feel that the few amount of black films out there for black actors need to have less black actors and more white actors? Please tell me you aren't that stupid.
I'll tell you who's stupid: YOU.
Because you clearly have a hard time grasping the point of anybody's comments. Fuck off, fake Kareem.
36 years later and they still look beautiful.
Claire's actress yeah. Allison's... not so much.
@@bennemann Yeah Allison's actress isn't that bad looking.
You should remake something because you can either execute it differently or better. Remaking something for the sake of making it more diverse is just as pointless as remaking something so you can make the special effects better. If you can't do what really matters better ( things that matter being character, story, tone and meaning ) just don't bother. I always thought a semi-sequel to The Breakfast Club would be cool to tackle other cliques that weren't addressed in the first one. But nowadays it would be the gay kid, the transgendered kid, the white girl that accepts them (and probably has anxiety disorder and depression), the black kid, the white cis-gendered male shitlord bully, you get my point.
Doing that isn't being diverse, it's pandering.
totally right about that robert.
Good points, Robert.
They recently brought back saved by the bell and made it woke, and it's ruined.
Same with the jay and silent bob reboot, again, ruined because of woke crap rammed down out throats.
Surely we should be able to make a film about whatever we want without having to worry if it's "diverse" enough. It ceases to become an art form then, and that's just pandering.
Six years later and this comment is ON POINT more than ever.
I think a remake would be more like to modernise the period to something that could happen in 2023 as opposed to late 1970s(which is the period i think the original story was written for ).
Oh geez... Molly played the race card
Next time I have to come in here, I'm crackin skulls 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😂
And I agree with them... No remake.
@TheRapper10000 That's why there should be no remake.
Of course they shouldn't make a remake. If they did one now, it'd be nauseatingly p.c. They'd have to have every skin color in there (or the snowflakes would freak), and the dialogue would be as lame as a Kanye song. Leave the 80s alone, Hollywood.
Nothing is more lame than Kanye
The entire cast would be complete degenerates and the movie would be centered around social media shit
Judd Nelson: BEAUTIFUL. 💞💞💞
Love many of John Hughes movies because they came along when I was an actual teenager. His movies aren't diverse but the themes here are universal.
skin pigment is not diverse. His movies are all kinds of diverse!
growing old sucks.
Notice how they want to remake "white" movies to include diversity, but no one calls for films like "Boyz N the Hood" to be remade to include diversity. I'd call it "Fellows in the Suburbs". What's good on one side is good on the other side. Squid pro quo.
White Men Can't Jump was recently remade; I did not watch it...the original is still the best in my opinion.
I had a lot of fun writing a college paper on Judd Nelson’s character for an Interpersonal Communications course. 🎬
Perfectly said , love that .. a remake should def reflect more diversity on so many levels .. but the original is a classic 💜💜💜💜
If you were raised in the 80s ,you could totally remember getting detention after school or going to Saturday detention til noon.
I hated it.
Then just because of this movie we'll leave outta the class room and cut up.
GOD Those years are gone.
Is it me ,or when that movie goes off with Judd Nelson pumping his fist up in the air, it feels like that time is saying goodbye.
The movie, the memories, and the song by Simple Minds brings tears to your eyes.
The joy of the 80s are gone but never forgotten
Back in the 80s n 90s in England a detention would be staying behind an extra hour after school finished (that was middle school)
And in high school it was an all day detention sat in an isolation booth in school hours. Not even the uk was cruel enough to make kids come back to school on a weekend. 😂
I was in high school in the 80’s and never got detention, I did however get caught ditching by my Sunday school teacher, who was an LAPD officer at the time. 😬 That was my detention.
To make a remake they would need an ABSOLUTE PERFECT cast
Shhhh🤫🤫 YOU’RE GIVING THEM IDEAS!!!
It's one of those films that you can NEVER remake. NEVER. There are a unwritten list of films out there that are virtually IMPOSSIBLE to remake. A few I can think of off the top of my head: Harold and Maude, The Godfather (1 + 2), Back To The Future, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Star Wars, The Exorcist, Farris Bueler's Day Off, The Last Detail and many more.
if they had a remake it would never work..you would need a token black person and an Asian and the teacher would have to be gay and there would be some pretentious pop star in it like Miley Cyrus or Taylor Swift and then the kids would have smart phones in the library and it would be a complete disaster especially for the suckers who paid $14.00 and another 8 for popcorn to see it
You feeling okay dude?
Okay boomer
T R U E! It would be trash! Nothing can beat a classic.
Remakes suck already. The new Overboard was an insult to Goldie and Kurt. Keep PC culture away from classics. End of story.
@@ilovecoffeev No it's true
There is always the victorious episode where all the characters in victorious play all the characters in the breakfast club!!!
That was great, agreed!
Lunch Club. Then, Dinner Club.
The message is that nerds cannot get a girlfriend, and that weird chicks cannot get a boyfriend unless they put on makeup and dress like rich chicks.
Oh jeez. Just because it doesn't have an ethnically diverse cast doesn't mean it doesn't speak to everyone who ever went to school. We all experienced the same social and family situations described in this movie. That kind of comment just asks for more tokenism in movies. The same script could be made with an ethnically diverse cast; we're not just sitting around talking about race all the time and aren't so narrowminded that we feel we need to see someone "like us" to relate.
The problem is, every other ethnicity is always asked to look at the world through white people's eyes. But of course, you don't understand that.
@@mgeek1 what a load of bollox! Lol. No one asks you to do sh!t bro. You're free to be whoever you want to be, and do whatever you want to do.

I miss Emelio Estevez. I know he's into wine, the making of it. However, it would be nice to see him in a movie, again. Stake-Out 1 & 2, my favorite. Come back, Emelio!! You are very missed!!
You know there gonna remake the film to be all PC and ruin what was perfect about the film!
They won’t ruin it cause any remake couldn’t compare. Look at the red dawn remake! Sucked!
They remade Ghostbusters with an all female cast except the gay guy who replaced the female receptionist. That movie flopped at the box ofgice. Thank God I never watch remakes of classics even when they are shown for free on regular t.v. I hate anything that pushes P.C. madness.
Why do they all want to ruin things with DIVERSITY!
Best high school movie ever
I watched this until they had to bring up the diversity crap. What's wrong with a all white movie?
B Lowell all white movies is like all white bread. bad for your health
B Lowell Apparently the same reason it is bad to have an all black movie...
@@victorvien Are you friggin' for real!? Your so "prejudice and a racist" Yet you snow-birdies have the audacity to call others racist etc.. You people and your Hypocritical ways show the Ignorant fruit you's bare. Your probably White yourself too..lol.. and if not than your very "prejudice and a racist"... You'll know them/people by the fruit they bare...
@Kevin Lopez most people I've met or even listened to throughout much of my life are lying bullshitters most of the time and selfish douches and braggers etc and guess what they have had different political belief's..lol..... It's why I prefer hanging out with my animals more.. lol
So Your actually saying Democrats don't bullshit . lol.. Funny because almost everything that has come out of their(especially Political Dem leaders)mouths , and especially the last 4 yrs, is full of vile, hateful, hypocritical, aggressive and so sneaky and conniving, I'm not saying other Political groups haven't done some bullshitting etc..
But as an outsider who sat back watching and observing everything from the beginning who watched ALL the debates, speeches etc.. of all the candidates and WOW after Trump won they became a disrespectful bunch of haters and it was the democrats that started all the hatred, violence, ex-stream separation getting (by bullshitting) dems against repub or conservatives and visa versa, Everything went crazy.. lol, I was shocked and felt bad for everyone being so bitter and hateful to each other. Anyways that was just my and many others way up here's observation . I always considered myself a pretty liberal person throughout my life but definatly changed my opinion while listening to all those debates and speeches etc back 4 yrs ago ..lol.. Hope we can just agree to disagree or just converse instead of being mean or hateful to one another. :) Cheers!
victorvien in what world is white bread bad for you health? You fucking incompetent dumbass
I agree that doing a remake of "The Breakfast Club" would be a bad idea.
Anyway while Molly Ringwald has aged well Ally Sheedy hasn't.
Blimey! She looks wasted. lol
how you going to look in 30+ years??
Ally is almost ten years older than Molly.
Levtones She’s only 6 years older
Ally Sheedy looks damn fine - she's 53 there.
If you wanna talk about ageing, lets drag Lohan out onto the stage - she just passed 31!
Get woke go broke, ladies... 😝😝😝
Both of these washed ups in lock step with the PC police. Way to ruin a good memory.
I was 16 [same age as two of the actors] when is was released in '85. It is a classic coming of age film. The whole diversity thing resonates as fake P.C. to me. Sure FFW to 2017 and lets have every possible teen social niche represented in every possible color and sexual preference variation possible...the cast would need to be about 40 kids, fun story line that would be. There have been countless TV/motion pictures inspired by this and other films that were 'more' diverse. One that comes to mind was DeGrassi High that ran for about two seasons in the early 90's and saw syndication for some time after that...You have to understand the single focus of the film was not about race but social standing; that actually transcends many of the other parts of a teens life of nearly every/any era. That seemingly five 'white' kids who outwardly appear similar could not me more different. You could cast an all black, brown or Asian cast and nearly the same message would resonate. Being a teen is not an easy journey.
Yes, human emotions are not based on race. To say someone who's not white can't relate to this movie is like saying that white people shouldn't try to relate to Do the Right Thing. What a sad commentary on people's ability to have empathy that would be.
I am a person from third world country and I can relate to these white people too, it's about character and story. It's always good to have diversity but that doesn't mean the movie is bad
Color doesn’t matter. I watch foreign movies all the time. I don’t watch Korean movies and think “I’m not represented in Korean Movies. Tears. Sadness. Violin music!” I identify with the characters and value them no matter what language they’re speaking or what they look like.
I love Korean, Indian, and Spanish movies. French and Russian ones. It just doesn’t matter to me color or anything else.
I'm 52 and I still
watch this movie at least once a year
These two really turned into beautiful women.
1:35 2 years later Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle got released
It failed
Disappointing to hear Molly Ringwald parrot the PC diversity line. Diversity isn't necessarily good or bad. A lack of diversity isn't necessarily good or bad.
+Reggie1971la Yep, total buzzkill. Hollyweird always.
Bet she doesn't live anywhere near the hood.
Maybe she should seek diversity outside of her gated community
Rain Jones Free thinker? You're a dogmatic thinker. You sure as hell aren't an honest one. The really real world doesn't give a fuck about your idealism. Fuck your feelings and your sacred cows. Intellectual coward. I guess I'm a heretic in your eyes because I seek the truth even though sometimes its a buzzkill maaaaannn
Reggie1971la they're missing the point. It's diversity of ideas/personalities we should strive for. Imposing a racial diversity IS rascist in my mind. The races are far more alike than they are different compared to people's intellectual difference.
some movies should never be remaked,this is one of them,BREAKFAST CLUB was a masterpiece
Oh please remake Breakfast Club ! I can't wait for another movie I'll never watch.
Dumb remark by Molly Ringwald regarding a remake. As a classmate of the 80's;- this was based on White Kids and the things they went through. Having other races would not be realistic. This is not prejudice but true.
The statement she made was cut off during the editing process. If you watch the actual full interview, it was very straightforward and not racial profiling in the least bit. The full comment she made was taking into account not just race and ethnicity but also the LGBTQ movement. That is what she meant when saying that the movie could be revamped and brought up to modern day issues.... Although the I don't think they should ever make another. This is a classic. We don't want it to turn into another "fuller house" Hana but back to the main point.... Editings a bitch....
Refer to Footloose movie as the example.
Does the Remake (2011) significantly better than the original (1985)?
Hollywood Liberals always make dumb remarks.
twospot7777777 I agree, the whole movie would be completely different. Do not remake it, it will never be as good as this one, never!
I actually was watching the beginning of the scene and thought, "wow this cast is white"
Ironically, Anthony Michael Hall would be the person to beat the $h*t out of someone in real life.
Nope.
Yeah I'd be scared to meet him.
Yeah, he grew up to be a tall, handsome man... and his career really suffered for it.
Why tho?
This films resonates with all young people regardless of ethnicity. Catering to wokeness would be just virtue signaling.
