John Hughes' The Breakfast Club (1985)

Although none of us attended high school in the 1980s, the teen classic, The Breakfast Club (1985) written and directed by John Hughes, shows us what the experience could have been like in a Chicago high school. Hughes, famous for Sixteen Candles (1984) and Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), sticks to his familiar themes of stereotypical high school life, leading his characters on a path of self-discovery. Written in only two days, the 4th and 5th of July, 1982, Hughes' story is simple and his morals blatant, but his characters' classic dialogue, as well as his feel-good theme, make The Breakfast Club a timeless treasure.
