Forty years later, John Hughes’ The Breakfast Club remains the quintessential teen movie. It’s funny, heartfelt, wonderfully acted, and above all, it avoids rehashing the same familiar formula we’ve seen a million times (a formula that, at the time, was still being formulated). The Breakfast Club is a deconstruction of the tropes that Hughes helped to create, almost like a high school version of Six Characters in Search of an Author.
