Don't You Forget About Me
RIP- John Hughes
Director John Hughes passed away last week and I offer my 15 favorite quotes from Breakfast Club (1985) as a tribute. I also love Ferris Buellers Day Off and Sixteen Candles, but B.Club meant a lot to kids of my generation. I was one of the sterotypes in this movie.
Top Breakfast Club Quotes
15) Don't mess with the bull, young man. You'll get the horns.
14) But face it. You're a neo maxi zoom dweebie, what would you be doing if you weren't out making yourself a better citizen?
13) Stupid, worthless, no good, goddamn, freeloading son of a bitch. Retarded, big mouth, know-it-all, asshole, jerk. You forgot ugly, lazy and disrespectful. Shut up bitch. Go fix me a turkey pot pie. No dad, what about you? Fuck you. No dad, what about you? Fuck you. Dad, what about you? Fuck you.
12) Hey, how come Andrew gets to get up? If he gets up, we'll all get up, it'll be anarchy.

08) You're an idiot anyway. But if you say you get along with your parents, well, you're a liar too.
07) What if your home... what if your family... what if your *dope* was on fire? Impossible, sir. It's in Johnson's underwear.

05) The next time I have to come in here I'm crackin' skulls.
04) When you grow up, your heart dies.
03) Screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place.
02) You know what I got for Christmas? Oh, it was a banner fucking year at the old Bender family. I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said, "Hey, smoke up Johnny."
01) Could you describe the ruckus, sir?

i'm sorry, it may not be as well-respected as other, more "important" films, but BC is fucking super-awesome. it meant a lot to me, and even tho its kind of corny, its stood the test of time. the funny shit is still funny, and the moving shit still moves kids my step-daughters ages. that's a fine thing.
