I was wondering if you've ever seen The Breakfast Club. It was such an iconic coming of age movie at the time. 
Yes that was a great coming of age comedy movie when it came out in the mid 80's. It sounds like you could relate to the movie?
Rlate, yes from an age perspective but not from actions. I guess that's why I loved it so much and why I have a connection with it.  What about you? Who were your favourite charcters? 
Andrew was a favorite, I like the actor Emilio Estevez. How about yours? 
I loved Molly Ringwald as Claire but I was probably a bit more like awkward Allison (Alley Sheedy). I loved all of them rreally and went on to watch many of their movies.
Molly Ringwald made some good movies too. Nothing wrong with being ackward either. Movies are fun that way that you can watch different peoples perspectives and learn different aspects of life that you haven't experienced yet.
Yes most definately. I did read that after becoming a mum Molly Ringwalf was slightly uncomfortable watching parts of the movie with her daughter. I guess even as an actor of that sort age there is a lot that you have to learn and choices you might not make had you the knowledge and experience of your grown up self.
Watching The BReakfast Club with your mom would have to be very ackward I could imagine Molly not wanting to watch that.
I think there  was a bit of a #MeToo moment in there that made her feel particularly uncomfortable. Things that were acceptable scenes and accepted by audiences, even in this teen movie, would not be acceptable now. And rightly so.
You are correct. She has spoke out about Harvey Weinstein. It is terrible the things that happened in Hollywood. It is good that there is some justice being done and the world is becoming a better place.
I hope so. It will take time to change. The feelings I have about the movie remain though as as a totally sweet, innocent 16 year old it was compelling.
That's good that you keep the positive thoughts about the movie. There is no reason to focus on the negative aspects and you can still enjoy the movie today. 
It's funny, my own 16 year old watched it recently and she loved it too. I guess it still translates.
The emotional aspect of the movie is relatable to people of that age group. While the clothes might be different and songs dated but the overall concept remains relevant today. That's awesome that your daughter liked it too. 
We seem to have shared a lot of the epic movies cult or mainstream with our children.  Pretty in Pink next maybe? 
Any '80s movies that the Brat Pack were in are probably worth a shot watching with your children.
What about you? What movie(s) evoke those teenage days for you?
Batman was the most influential movie for me. There nothing specific about it but it is the one that stands out the most.
Which Batman were you a fan of? 
Tim Burton's Batman from the late 80's early 90's with Jack Nicholson as the Joker. The newer ones were OK but Dark Knight was really good. 
The Michael Keaton days. Yes! I enjoyed watching Dark Knight too fairly recently. A far cry from teenage angst!
Definitely different genres but they each have their place. Movies are mostly entertainment but sometimes you watch one that is thought provoking or strikes a chord with you at the time like Breakfast Club.
