When You Grow Up, Your Heart Dies


The Breakfast Club
Universal Pictures (1985)
The film that is arguably the greatest high school movie of the 80's premiered in theaters thirty years ago.  I've always kind of thought the "makeover" of Ally Sheedy's character, and Emilio Estevez's reaction of only accepting her once she conforms, is kind of a tragedy.  With the exception of that scene, I think this is about as perfect as a movie can be.
