The Breakfast Club (1985)

[Akijama]

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.

Holy cow. This was hinted at but I thought it was a long shot. Sneaky of Universal to trot out a ND reissue before this release. Great news, though

The supplemental features on this disc look to be pretty impressive and extensive. It looks like they've gotten ahold of Hugh's production notes as well, that's exciting! Can't wait!

DAY ONE!

When I saw that...I screeched! The missing footage is the holy grail for John Hughes/ Breakfast Club fans and makes this an absolute must buy.

[Nailwraps]

The made a little error; the commentary and Sincerely Yours documentary were made in 2008. :P

Incidentally, I never thought they would release The Breakfast Club! Kudos Criterion.

The deleted scenes from Breakfast Club?! Pigs must now be flying.

[TylerDurden389]

I ALMOST got the new blu-ray that came out last year. Glad I never pulled the trigger. Criterion FTW.

[Hek_qwerr]

my sister cant tell the difference between a dvd or blu ray but man o man is she gonna be psyched for the bonus features

[javi92]

Great, put out the title first that has already been released in a good quality edition.

I already have Universal's recently released triple feature with the remastered Breakfast Club, as well as Sixteen Candles and Weird Science. Maybe I'll get this at some point though, the special features are cool.

[mport5150]

One of my favorite movies! This is a Day 1 pick up for me.

I would pay that price just for the fact it has it's original Mono soundtrack!!!

[crissrudd4554]

I’m slightly annoyed because I literally just got the 30th anniversary release the other week ago. Buuuuuut this upcoming release does have the original mono and I like the cover soooo...what the hell?? Sold!
