Don't You Forget About "The Breakfast Club's" Anniversary

The classic coming-of-age film by acclaimed director John Hughes turns 36 today! Somehow, the world felt like a more hopeful place after watching these five teens become unlikely friends over the course of one Saturday morning detention. Behind the facade of being just "a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal," the members of the Breakfast Club found that they had more in common than they initially thought -- they related to each other's struggles and parental expectations. The lesson here? It's all about perspective. So raise a fist in the air, Bender-style, if "The Breakfast Club" holds a special place in your heart!
