It's a good show Kate. I've seen it a few times too and it does convey the characters well and the transitions they all go through simply by being put in one place (detention) for a prolonged period of time... 80's films normally make me cringe though and I remember how I used to get this film mixed up with Fast Lane (Sean Penn)...Essexcowgirl wrote:Watched 'the breakfast club' again the other night - for about the hundredth time, and it's still wicked. Everyone can identify with at least one of the teenage characters in that movie...I'm a combi, something between the nerd and the basket case (though of course I'm excessively beautiful!) Love it...

Interesting one for you to maybe check out. It's a film from the early 90's called S.F.W. (So fucking What?). Set in a supermarket during a screwed up robbery. Great character writing with a twist in the tail... Powerful soundtrack too including Radiohead's first single - Creep... I loved this show because it was screened against the backdrop of what was really going on in America at that time - Waco, Texas and the Branch Davidian Sect / FBI slaughter, followed 2 years later by Timothy McVeigh the disgruntled war veteran turned 'Oklahoma Bomber'... A lot of anger and disillusionment seemed to swell up in the States and it was carried across into their media and movies, almost like it was airbourne...
Right. I've clearly turned into a gabbering fool and will now go drink a gallon of camomile and smoke 4 stone of weed ... You can read more about S.F.W. by clicking into theIMDB(Internet Movie Database) on this thread...
