Amazon.com essential video
John Hughes's popular 1985 teen drama finds a diverse group of high school students--a jock (Emilio Estevez), a metalhead (Judd Nelson), a weirdo (Ally Sheedy), a princess (Molly Ringwald), and a nerd (Anthony Michael Hall)--sharing a Saturday in detention at their high school for one minor infraction or another. Over the course of a day, they talk through the social barriers that ordinarily keep them apart, and new alliances are born, though not without a lot of pain first. Hughes (Sixteen Candles), who wrote and directed, is heavy on dialogue but he also thoughtfully refreshes the look of the film every few minutes with different settings and original viewpoints on action. The movie deals with such fundamentals as the human tendency toward bias and hurting the weak, and because the characters are caught somewhere between childhood and adulthood, it's easy to get emotionally involved in hope for their redemption. Preteen and teenage kids love this film, incidentally. The DVD release includes production notes, cast and crew bios, widescreen presentation, Dolby sound, closed captioning, optional French and Spanish soundtracks, and optional Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh

 the extras January 5, 2009
The extras on this are so amazingly bad it kept me awake all night with my rage (oh how my rage keeps me warm) so you got interviews with the actors sure you cant get them all. I see that but they babble on with such self importance and there oh so intimate knowledge of youth culture cause they where in a teen movie.
Now could they get any crew to talk about the movie maybe john Hughes? There only one lame attempt to explain the process of the production is the costume designer. Now I am sure she is great at her job but there is only so much you can here about the look of the characters.
So to make up for such large holes such as no molly, no Emilio, no john Hughes and one crew member they bring out the big guns people who have directed other teen movies. Diablo I plagiarized a South Korean movie Cody who wrote the film Juno. She just fumbles about with phrases like "I heard they did this." All here say on her part except for her own experience of when she saw the film, which I have no interest in at all.
Others extras include them denying that there wherever brats in the brat pack in which they try to make themselves look squeaky clean and change history.
Please if your extras are this bad just don't release them.
 2.5 stars out of 4 December 18, 2008
The Bottom Line:
An inexplicably beloved film, the Breakfast club features a cast of 20-somethings plodding their way through Saturday detention, grappling with their tortured adolescence and cliched evil teacher while they make small strides towards becoming decent human beings instead of one-note stereotypes.
