What happens when you put five strangers in Saturday detention? Badass posturing, gleeful misbehavior, and a potent dose of angst. With this exuberant film, writer-director John Hughes established himself as the bard of American youth, vividly and empathetically capturing how teenagers hang out, act up, and goof off. The Breakfast Club brings together an assortment of adolescent archetypes the uptight prom queen (Molly Ringwald), the stoic jock (Emilio Estevez), the foul-mouthed rebel (Judd Nelson), the virginal bookworm (Anthony Michael Hall), and the kooky recluse (Ally Sheedy) and watches them shed their personae and emerge into unlikely friendships. With its highly quotable dialogue and star-making performances, this film is an era-defining pop-culture phenomenon, a disarmingly candid exploration of the trials of adolescence whose influence now spans generations. BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES - 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack - Alternate 5.1 surround soundtrack, presented in DTS HD Master Audio - Audio commentary from 2015 featuring actors Anthony Michael Hall and Judd Nelson - New interviews with actors Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy - New video essay featuring director John Hughes s production notes, read by Nelson - Documentary from 2015 featuring interviews with cast and crew - 50 minutes of never-before-seen deleted and extended scenes - Rare promotional and archival interviews and footage - Excerpts from a 1985 American Film Institute seminar with Hughes - 1999 radio interview with Hughes - Segment from a 1995 episode of NBC's Today show featuring the film's cast - Audio interview with Molly Ringwald from a 2014 episode of This American Life - PLUS: An essay by critic David Kamp

There’s only one problem, Julius isn't a rock star… he’s a worker at a pencil eraser factory run by the notorious Mr. Bidwell (Nicholas Pryor, Risky Business). And with his dreams seemingly out of his grasp, he falls in love with the boss's daughter Buffer (Bobbie Phillips, Showgirls) against her father's wishes. In order to curry favor with him, Julius makes a bet with the old man… if he comes up with $100,000 in six months, Mr. Bidwell must let them be together.

Description

In his debut film as writer-director, John Hughes immediately cemented himself as the king of teen cinema with Sixteen Candles, and in the process also introduced one of the most iconic faces of ‘80s Americana: Molly Ringwald. For high schooler Samantha Baker (Molly Ringwald), her 16th birthday might be the worst day of her life. Her entire family has forgotten about it due to her older sister’s impending wedding; her biggest crush, high school hunk Jake Ryan (Michael Schoeffling) has discovered an embarrassing “sex quiz” filled out by Sam in which she details how she is saving herself for him; and to make matters worse, she is hounded by a relentless nerd (Anthony Michael Hall) who won’t take no for an answer. But Sam’s sweet sixteen isn’t over yet, and before the end of the night, all her birthday wishes could still come true… Taking the rude and crude humor of the teen sex comedies that came before it and placing it within the intimately portrayed perspective of a girl's mid-teenage-life crisis, Sixteen Candles is a bombshell of 80s pop culture that continues to be debated and beloved over three decades after its release.

THEY WENT FROM ZEROES TO HEROES IN ONE FANTASTIC WEEKEND. If you can’t get a date… make one! After proving himself the king of heartfelt teen flicks with Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club, writer-director John Hughes infused the genre with a hefty dose of wacked-out sci-fi comedy in Weird Science, a film where every teenage boy’s wildest fantasies come to life. Perennially picked-on high school nerds Gary (Anthony Michael Hall, Sixteen Candles) and Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith) are sick of their status at the bottom of the social food chain. Using Wyatt’s computer, the two hatch a plan to create their dream woman – and following a massive power surge, that woman unexpectedly appears in the form of Lisa (Kelly LeBrock). Gorgeous, intelligent, and blessed with limitless magic powers, Lisa makes the boys’ dreams come true… but what about Wyatt’s gun-toting psycho older brother Chet (Bill Paxton), and the two bullies (Robert Downey Jr and Vamp’s Robert Rusler) determined to put them back in their place?
