Buzz Lines: What's Your Favorite Quote From The Breakfast Club?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 05:30:00 PDT

With the Teen Choice Awards a few days behind us, I got to thinking about John Hughes's classic '80s teen movies. Hughes helped distinguish the genre, so I thought it only fitting to choose one of his films for this week's moving quoting challenge. The Breakfast Club offers a motley group of detention servers, from the bad boy to the jock, and all of them - even the reticent Allison - offer some hilarious lines.

"Could you describe the ruckus, sir?" - Brian
"Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?" - Bender
"I'm not a nymphomaniac. I'm a compulsive liar." - Allison

Buzz's Favorite Movie Bad Boys

BuzzSugar — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 16:30:03 PST

This Friday we'll get a peek at Michael Cera's mustached, naughty alter ego, Francois, in the new release Youth in Revolt. Francois is a rebel, torching buildings and breaking into girls dorm rooms - and yes, naturally, he's French. In honor of his general badass-ness, I decided to round up some of my favorite Francois predecessors in film (warning: lots of greasy hair and leather jackets ahead). Check them out!

Hughes Cinema Style: The Breakfast Club

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 04:50:22 PDT

I have dedicated not one but two FABTVs to The Breakfast Club. So yeah, it's a fave. It's no Sixteen Candles or Weird Science, but it's up there in Fab's John Hughes top three. I think my favorite character's style in this one is actually not Molly - it's bad boy Bender. With his flannel-over-thermal and bandana-around-boot, he had style for miles. And then there were four: the Jock, the Princess, the Basketcase, and the Geek . . . tres chic.

FABTV: Simple Minds "Don't You (Forget About Me)"

FabSugar — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 05:44:22 PDT

You know, it says don't do it, but I did (forget about this song). I've been bringing you FABTV for hella long now, and there are just too many classic music vids to keep track of. Funny how so many of them are from the '80s, then again, that was the decade MTV was born. We've already giggled at the awesome dance scene from The Breakfast Club, but what about the signature song? I had a geek crush on the lead singer of Simple Minds, Jim Kerr, with his fluffy hair and high-waisted trousers. He was so Andrew McCarthy-esque . . .

FABTV: The Breakfast Club Dance Scene

FabSugar — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 12:22:22 PDT

FABTV is taking a new direction this week - let's not forget about important fashion/music/dance moments in film. It's these hybrids that sometimes make cinematic history. Flashdance anyone? But onto a less famous scene from a very famous film, the one, the only, The Breakfast Club. The song is so-so, but the moves are so groovy. Each character has their individual style that totally works with their persona. The Prom Queen is doing the quintessential '80s bounce kick, The Jock is working the air guitar, The Rebel is headbanging (naturally), The Basket Case is the most artistic of the bunch, and The Geek is, well, geeking out. Gotta love it.

TV Dinners: The Breakfast Club - Pixy Stix Sandwich

YumSugar — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 07:52:11 PDT

In honor of national candy month, I thought I'd pull out a classic candy-related TV Dinner clip for us all. Do you remember the lunchtime scene in The Breakfast Club? Molly Ringwald confuses Judd Nelson with sushi, Emilio Estevez has enough food for a large family and Ally Sheedy perplexes everyone by tossing the pimento loaf out of her sandwich and replaces it with Pixy Stix and Cap'n Crunch cereal instead? If so, then have I ever got a treat for you! Not only do I have the recipe to recreate your own Pixy-Stix sandwich, but I've got the clip as well! To check it all out,

Pixy Stix Sandwich
From The Breakfast Club

1 slice white bread
1 slice wheat bread
butter
2 Pixy Stix (flavored sugar in straws)

The Results Are In: Recast The Breakfast Club

BuzzSugar — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 11:45:33 PST

For last Wednesday's Recast challenge, I asked you guys to choose a whole new cast for the John Hughes classic, The Breakfast Club. This was by far the most wildly popular Recast challenge yet, and there were so many good ideas. I particularly loved PinkRabbit's pick for Frankie Muniz to play the geek role originated by Anthony Michael Hall, and I was pleasantly surprised by Honeysugar28 choosing Scarlett Johansson for the Molly Ringwald part.

But the best list overall came from Swwonder, who really nailed it with an ideal mix of young actors or actors who just look young. Here are her picks, complete with a "new" cast photo.

Claire Standish (The Princess) - Mandy Moore
Andy Clark (The Jock) - Chad Michael Murray
Brian Johnson (The Geek) - Adam Brody
John Bender (The Rebel) - James Franco
Allison Reynolds (The Basket Case) - Anna Paquin

Tune in tomorrow for another Recast challenge!
