OtakuPenguin attempted to be funny by writing:
Why do so many people that grew up in the 80s love it so much though?
Remember that speech at the end? For alot of people growing up in the 80s, that was very true. The characters in that movie fit into the 80s almost perfectly, and everybody could see themselves in them.
That, and the Pixie Stick sandwich. Love those.

The Breakfast Club is a rare memory of the 80s that people want to keep.
If you'd like to find out why most people want to forget the 80s, though, go watch Teen Wolf.
Everybody was suuurfiiin'... surfin' USA!

I miss ALF. 
Breakfast Club was one of those movies that captures the attitudes and experience of a generation, so it spoke to a lot of people.
The '80s were awesome. How could anyone who lived them not love it?

The '80s was all about having fun--a capitalist revival of '60s attitudes, if you will.

Oh, and the first time I watched this movie, was IN Saturday Detention. (Ok, not really, I skipped it that day to go to the movies.)
Am I the only one who thought Ally Sheedy looked better before the makeover?

The Breakfast Club, and reasons it was good.

I tend to agree, but in high school I was also the girl who wore about 15lbs of eyeliner, and had her hair in her face all the time.

Yeah, I thought she was cute from the get go, I kinda liked the way her hair hung down and such.

Also, to find the good music of the '80s, you have to look underground. There were the Pixies, Husker Du, Black Flag, the Smiths, and a hundred little bands that took punk rock and turned it into something completely new.

94. Year after I graduated High School. I remember hearing about it while I was in my Composition class (in college). [ 06-07-2003: Message edited by: Bajah ]

7 in 1990 + 4 years = 11 in 1994
Richland is 5 years in the past
11 - 5 = 6 yrs old in 1994

What is Richland and how is it 5 years in the past? I don't get it.

A backwater town in Washington, I think. And probably because it gets everything "late" because it's so stupid! Or something.
