It’s been 40 years since The Breakfast Club hit theaters, becoming a box office hit and instant coming-of-age classic that’s still beloved by viewers today.
Released in 1995, the John Hughes film cemented the star power of leads Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall (who had both starred in Hughes’ Sixteen Candles the year before), along with rising “Brat Pack” actors, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy and Judd Nelson. It made countless “best of” lists (including topping Rolling Stone‘s “Greatest Movies of the Eighties” rundown) and even won a “Silver Bucket of Excellence Award” at the 2005 MTV Movie Awards. The cult classic continues to be regarded as quintessential viewing for both film buffs and pop culture fans alike.
