The Breakfast Club

Molly Ringwald in the three John Hughes movies she starred in was unlike any other teen movie heroine we had seen. She created a real girl archetype not seen in temporary movies Dissatisfied, Dead Pan and Chic but Unhappy. The brilliant Anthony Michael Hall accompanied her in two of the films And also gave an updating of the prototypical nerd as spazzy,. tech savvy, pop culturally wise, girl obsessed. 16 candles is still funny and a joy to watch even 31 years later It's a timeless performance.
