The Breakfast Club (1985)
Five high school students from different walks of life endure a Saturday detention under a power-hungry principal. The disparate group includes rebel John, princess Claire, outcast Allison, brainy Brian and Andrew, the jock. Each has a chance to tell his or her story, making the others see them a little differently -- and when the day ends, they question whether school will ever be the same.

As Good As It Gets
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
The movie has a deep meaning, but I also enjoyed the special kind of humor. It's unlike any movie I've ever seen. It has a perfect balance of emotions. The scenes that are dramatic move slow enough to let the struggle and the emotions of the characters touch you. Then the humor makes it not too heavy to watch.The actors did a wonderful job, the movie is fun to watch and it's simply a must see movie!
It makes me think and feel.... We may be different on the outside but so similar on the inside... Five kids with different backgrounds but the same generational issues.
Can you tell me why this awful smudge of juvenile idiocy was chosen as one of the greatest? Now, it cannot be even sat through without smirking, so awfully goofy, cheesy and silly this is in fact. One redeeminng quality is Molly Ringwald, hence 3 scores, the rest is a true abomination of awfully cheesy 80's silliness. Forget it
Honestly went to watch this movie and expected something that wasn't going to live up to the hype, or was just going to be another dull teenage flick. I was pleasantly surprised when it wasn't, it's an actual good movie that lives up to all the hype that was given to it, and for an older movie, it's even better because it's still relevant in today's society (maybe more so than ever).The film takes place all in one school where five teenagers have been put in detention on a Saturday for their own reasons, which will be revealed as the film continues (some reasons more sad than others). Even with this limited space, most of it being in the library, the film does not dull. It uses everything around them to the best of their advantage and having such big personalities in the movie helped keep the movie interesting! Some moments are kind of played out a few too many times, like the fights between Claire and John (note 9/10 and not 10/10)Overall loved the atmosphere of the movie and the actors in it were brilliant in their respective rolls. Brilliant writing and put together in such a way that it will be relevant for many years to come!!
