Psycho author Robert Bloch wrote a fascinating review of the tech thriller WarGames in 1983, calling it ‘outstanding’ but criticising its ‘amoral’ hero.

The high-tech thriller WarGames was one of 1983’s biggest hits. Starring Matthew Broderick as a young computer whiz whose decision to hack into the US military’s defence systems almost triggers World War III, it was popular with both audiences and with critics. Roger Ebert praised it for its pace and plausible integration of then-new computer technology; it was, he said, “one of the best films so far this year.”

One lesser-known review from the period, meanwhile, came from the desk of Robert Bloch – best known as the author of Psycho.

Some movies take you across countries, continents, and galaxies. And then there are the ones that don’t let you leave a single room. When a story is boxed into one location, every look, every line, and every pause carries more weight. There’s no car chase to cut away to, no scenic backdrop to lean on, just characters under pressure, with nowhere to hide. That’s when things get really interesting.

Think about 12 Angry Men, twelve jurors stuck in one hot, cramped room, and it’s somehow more thrilling than most action movies. Or The Breakfast Club, where five teenagers sitting in detention for a day gave us one...

Last week, we reported that the Criterion Collection will be releasing House Party and Eyes Wide Shut in 4K in November. Blu-ray.com has also passed along that the prestigious physical media distributor is set to release John Hughes’ iconic high school ballad, The Breakfast Club, on November 4.

The description reads,

“What happens when five strangers end up together in Saturday detention? Badass posturing, gleeful misbehavior, and a potent dose of angst. With this exuberant, disarmingly candid film, writer-director John Hughes established himself as the bard of American youth, vividly and empathetically capturing how teenagers hang out, act up, and goof off. The Breakfast Club brings together an assortment of...

Back in 1983, long before smartphones ruled our lives, before Wi-Fi was in every coffee shop, and before most homes even had a computer, a little movie called WarGames imagined what could happen if a teenage hacker accidentally tapped into the U.S. military’s most powerful computer. For kids who grew up in that era, it was a thrilling glimpse into a future where technology wasn’t just cool, it was dangerous. For those who’ve discovered it since, WarGames remains one of the smartest and most entertaining “what if?” thrillers Hollywood ever produced.

Get ready to spend another Saturday in detention as, in honor of its 40th anniversary, Universal Pictures is rereleasing John Hughes’ The Breakfast Club in theaters nationwide on September 7 and September 10, giving fans old and new the chance to experience the legendary teen drama on the big screen once again. First released on February 15, 1985, the film struck a chord with the way it looked at teenage identity, loneliness, and the desire to be seen. It quickly became a massive box office hit, grossing fifty times its budget, and a cultural phenomenon to boot, helping to launch the careers of its five stars — Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, and Anthony Michael Hall.

Universal is continuing its love affair with movie re-releases this September, as John Hughes’ The Breakfast Club will celebrate its 40th anniversary by returning to theaters on September 7th and 10th.

Originally released on February 15th, 1985, the classic film features a simple premise, as we spend a day with five unlikely delinquents forced to serve detention together, bonding over their similarities by the end. The movie made young cast members Anthony Michael Hall, Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, and Judd Nelson into household names, and cemented Hughes’ status as a defining voice in the world of teen comedies — not just in the ’80s, but for all time. And Simple Minds’ “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” remains one of the all-time great movie themes.

As Ringwald noted herself in 2024, there are parts of The Breakfast Club that haven’t aged particularly well. But it remains an enduring part of film history,...

Universal Pictures is celebrating the 40th anniversary of The Breakfast Club, John Hughes’ groundbreaking coming-of-age masterpiece that redefined the teen genre and became one of the most enduring works of American cinema.

Returning to theaters nationwide on September 7 and 10, this special two-day engagement invites audiences to rediscover the film’s emotional impact and timeless relevance, just in time for the back-to-school season. Advance tickets are available now.

Released on February 15, 1985, The Breakfast Club broke new ground by portraying the teenage experience with a level of honesty and emotional depth that had rarely been seen on screen. Set at a suburban Chicago high school, the film follows five students from vastly different cliques who arrive for a Saturday detention and discover that the labels assigned to them do not define who they are.

Get ready to feast on The Breakfast Club once again in cinemas.

In honor of its 40th anniversary, Universal Pictures will rerelease writer-director John Hughes‘ groundbreaking coming-of-age film in cinemas nationwide on Sept. 7 and again on Sept. 10. The film, set at a suburban Chicago high school, stars Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy and Anthony Michael Hall as five teenagers from vastly different cliques who spend a life-altering Saturday in detention.

First opening in theaters on Feb. 15, 1985, The Breakfast Club became a box office hit and cultural sensation after striking a generational chord with its portrayal of identity and the desire to be seen (read THR‘s original review here). It also helped launch the careers of its young ensemble cast, as well as the Brat Pack era.

Ally Sheedy, Emily Robinson, Brant Daugherty (“Fifty Shades Freed”) and Margaret Cho (“Fire Island”) will star in the upcoming feminist biopic “By the Roots.”

The feature film adaptation of the memoir “Daddy,” from writer-director Madison Young (“Submission Possible”), wrapped production in the San Francisco Bay Area in February.

“By the Roots” follows Madison (Robinson), a successful queer kinky gallerist and sexual revolutionary living in vibrant San Francisco in the early aughts. The past beckons Madison back to her place of origin to face a fragmented part of herself that has been left behind when she is pressured into returning to pastoral Southern Ohio for her mother’s birthday.

Rob Lowe believes it is a "super valid" time to make a sequel to St. Elmo's Fire.The 61-year-old actor starred in the original 1985 movie - which followed a group of graduates as they adjusted to life after college - as William 'Billy' Hicks and he's set to reprise the role of his saxophone-playing alter ego for a second movie, and he's insisted it is a great time in the characters' lives to see what they are doing now.He told People magazine: "We're working on the script, and it's really getting good."I think it's super valid to revisit those characters that continue to mean a lot to people and watch them navigate this chapter of life, because arguably this chapter of life is every bit as interesting and fraught as — 'What do I do when I get out of college?'

Success can be a double-edged sword. While every filmmaker would like their first movie to be a breakout success, those kinds of hits build expectation for their second feature, and not every director can navigate the artistic and industrial labyrinth that it takes to produce another instant classic.

Indeed, the perfect one-two punch is rarely achieved. Many of the best directors don’t start out with one of their finest or most successful films, those that do can’t always parlay that into a second success.

But some filmmakers have managed to immediately capitalize on all that good will, directing a second great movie after their debut wins the hearts of critics and/or audiences. With “Past Lives” filmmaker Celine Song’s second film “Materialists” now in theaters, we’re pretty danged sure these are the best.

"The movie is really about the passing of time," Brats director Andrew McCarthy tells Gold Derby. "I turned 60 not that long ago and I realized that I had begun to look at events of my life in a different way than I used to."

For the first time in decades, McCarthy reunites with fellow Brat Packers Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, and Ally Sheedy, along with other stars of that era like Jon Cryer, Timothy Hutton, and Lea Thompson, to discuss their rise to stardom in the 1980s and how the term "Brat Pack" — coined by journalist David Blum in an article for New York Magazine — impacted their careers.

Reflecting further, McCarthy says his fascination lies less with the Brat Pack itself and more with how perspectives on life evolve with time. "When I was 22, we hated it — all of us," he says. "We felt stigmatized — it was very limiting.

Because it’s the sixth installment of a 40-year-old franchise, you might assume that “Karate Kid: Legends” is going to retrofit the formula, filtering it through the sort of technologically empowered overkill that defines most latter-day sequels. There’s one explicit way that the movie updates the series. The hero, Li Fong (Ben Wang), is a teenager who’s been training at the Beijing dojo of shifu Han (Jackie Chan), where he has mastered a kung fu move called the dragon kick, a corkscrew balletic twirl that climaxes with a foot-smash to the head of your opponent — a move captured, in all its complex gymnastic glory, through rapid-fire cutting and slo-mo. It’s the film’s one concession to the four decades of Asian action cinema that have taken place since the original “Karate Kid,” and it’s designed to give you that “This is not your father’s Ralph Macchio fairy tale!

The 2025 Webby Awards theme may have been “All Good,” as the annual ceremony celebrated the best of the internet from the past year, but host Ilana Glazer wasn’t shy about going after politics or the more problematic elements of technology.

Glazer kicked off the evening by joking that the “All Good” theme was selected because an alternative like “‘The Broligarchy’s Speeding of the Onslaught of Facism in the Face of the Climate Catastrophe at the Point of No Return’ would have bummed everybody out.”

As she continued her monologue, Glazer spoke about the continued uncertainty around the fate of TikTok and joked that Signal is the app that should truly be banned.

“TikTok and the Trump administration were the Ross and Rachel of social media — a real will they, won’t they,” Glazer joked. “They banned it and then they quickly brought it back. Now they’re talking about banning it again.

And, on that very same social media, you’ve no doubt seen the photos of the five stars, reunited at the C2E2 2025 convention.

Hollywood Insider - 40 Years Later, The Brat Pack Reunites — But Not for a Sequel

Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy and Anthony Michael Hall came together at the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo earlier this April to talk all things Brat Pack. No Plans to Return to Detention

You’d think that after 40 years, the story of five teenagers stuck in Saturday detention might fade into the background of film history. But 'The Breakfast Club'? It’s still front and center — and apparently, still just as meaningful to its cast as it is to the fans who grew up with it (and the ones discovering it now).

At Chicago’s C2E2 pop culture convention on April 12, Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, and Anthony Michael Hall took the stage together for the “Don’t You Forget About Me: The Breakfast Club 40th Anniversary Reunion” panel.

Good news, Wild Cards fans. (Well, sort of.)

On Thursday, CBC Television announced that Wild Cards has been renewed for Seasons 3 and 4 in Canada. But U.S.-based fans should hold their sighs of relief: The series’ fate on The CW has yet to be determined. (TVLine has reached out to The CW for comment.)

Anthony Michael Hall was one of the most sought-after young actors of the 80s, appearing in numerous hit coming-of-age films, and one of the members of the group of young actors dubbed as the "Brat Pack." It's recently been announced that the actor will be joining the cast of the Netflix series Wednesday.

Per Variety, the actor will appear in the series based on American cartoonist Charles Addams' The Addams Familyin a yet-undisclosed role. His addition to the cast marks a reunion between Hall and Wednesday executive producer – and director of four Season 1 episodes – Tim Burton.

Image via Prime Video

The two previously worked together on Burton's Edward Scissorhands, starring Johnny Depp as the eponymous blade-fingered protagonist, in which Hall played Jim, Kim's jealous, arrogant boyfriend – and the film's primary antagonist. Both Edward Scissorhands and Wednesday fall under an aesthetic umbrella that has characterized Burton's career, blending dark, gothic elements with more whimsical fantasy.

The Breakfast Club is widely considered one of the best teen films of all time, and it's a movie that has certainly gone on to live beyond the time it was released in 1985. It defined a generation in the '80s and has spoken to generations that have discovered it since its initial release. A film of its stature, especially in this Hollywood climate obsessed with established IP, seems prime for a modern-day reboot, but one of the film's stars,Molly Ringwald, believes it's such a product of its time that it couldn't be remade. Mostly because it's a little too white.

The entire cast of The Breakfast Club reunited for the first time in 40 years at the C2E2 fan convention in Chicago, via Variety, and Ringwald, as she sat with her co-stars, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall and Ally Sheedy, revealed that she believes the film's...

The Breakfast Club is one of the most celebrated comedy movies of the 1980s, still appreciated by fans who miss the distinct style of late filmmaker John Hughes' films. After four decades, all five lead stars of the film reunited to reflect on its legacy, and they agreed that The Breakfast Club isn't a movie that could be pulled off today.

Per THR, a celebration of The Breakfast Club was hosted at the C2E2 convention in Chicago in honor of the movie's 40th anniversary. The stars present included Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, and Anthony Michael Hall. It was the first time all five had been reunited since the film was released four decades ago. Estevez shared how it was important for him to finally join his co-stars for a special event.

"This one felt special, it’s here in Chicago where we made the film,...

Everything old might be new again, even in the Brat Pack world, but ’80s teen queen Molly Ringwald has offered a measured — yes, it’s possible — take on where she thinks films based on some of the most popular films of the decade should go. In short: traditional remake? No. A new story inspired by? Sure!

In a recent wide-ranging chat in honor of the film’s 40th anniversary, hosted by “Happy Sad Confused” podcaster Josh Horowitz was joined by “The Breakfast Club” stars Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, and Ally Sheedy.

During the much-anticipated reunion of Ringwald and the other four stars of the 1985 John Hughes-directed high school classic “The Breakfast Club” on Friday at Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo, the question of remaking the film inevitably cropped up. In response, Ringwald offered this: “I personally don’t believe in remaking that movie, because I think...

Molly Ringwald doesn't want a 'Breakfast Club' remake.The 57-year-old actress revealed doesn't think the 1985 coming-of-age comedy-drama film from John Hughes is diverse enough for a straightforward re-do and believes it doesn't represent today's world.According to People, Molly told attendees at the C2E2 fan convention in Chicago: "I personally don’t believe in remaking that movie, because I think this movie is very much of its time. It resonates with people today. I believe in making movies that are inspired by other movies but build on it and represent what’s going on today. This is very, you know, it’s very white, this movie. You don’t see a lot of different ethnicities. We don’t talk about gender. None of that. And I feel like that really doesn’t represent our world today."I'd like to see movies that are inspired by ‘The Breakfast Club,...

Despite the long-awaited reunion, don’t expect the original Breakfast Club to endorse a modern update.

As she reunited with her co-stars from the 1985 John Hughes-helmed teen classic on Friday at Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo, Molly Ringwald explained why she doesn’t think the film needs a remake.

“I personally don’t believe in remaking that movie. Because I think this movie is very much of its time,” she said, according to multiple outlets. “You know it’s very white, this movie. You don’t see a lot of different ethnicities; we don’t talk about gender, none of that, and I feel like that really doesn’t represent our world today.”

Ringwald added, “I believe in making movies that are inspired by other movies, but build on it and represent what’s going on today. So I would like to see movies that are inspired by The Breakfast Club...

Molly Ringwald doesn’t think “The Breakfast Club” should be get a remake. Instead, the ’80s icon would rather “see movies that are inspired by ‘The Breakfast Club,’ but take it in a different direction.”

While speaking on the C2E2 panel “Don’t You Forget About Me: ‘The Breakfast Club’ 40th Anniversary Reunion” on April 12, Ringwald said about the 1985 movie, “I personally don’t believe in remaking that movie, because I think this movie is very much of its time,” she said. “It resonates with people today. I believe in making movies that are inspired by other movies but build on it and represent what’s going on today. This is very, you know, it’s very white, this movie. You don’t see a lot of different ethnicities. We don’t talk about gender. None of that. And I feel like that really doesn’t represent our world today.

Molly Ringwald is not in favor of “The Breakfast Club” getting a remake. Appearing at the C2E2 fan convention in Chicago (via People), the actor said the 1985 classic is not diverse enough to warrant a straightforward re-do.

“I personally don’t believe in remaking that movie, because I think this movie is very much of its time,” Ringwald said. “It resonates with people today. I believe in making movies that are inspired by other movies but build on it and represent what’s going on today. This is very, you know, it’s very white, this movie. You don’t see a lot of different ethnicities. We don’t talk about gender. None of that. And I feel like that really doesn’t represent our world today.”

Ringwald added that she’d “like to see movies that are inspired by ‘The Breakfast Club,’ but take it in a different direction.

The cast of The Breakfast Club reunited last weekend in Chicago, a pretty common occurrence for fan-favorite films like the John Hughes teen comedy. But there was something different about this particular reunion. While the Brain (Anthony Michael Hall), the Princess (Molly Ringwald), the Basket Case (Ally Sheedy) and the Criminal (Judd Nelson) have gathered in the past at fan conventions and the like, the guy who played Andy the Athlete always ghosted them. But this time, Emilio Estevez decided to show up.

“We don’t have to use the cardboard cutout anymore because he’s here. I feel really moved that we’re all together,” said Ringwald at the C2E2 pop culture convention, per Entertainment Weekly. “I feel really very emotional and moved to have us all together.”

Why did Estevez ditch all the previous get-togethers? “I skipped all of my high school reunions,” he joked, though that’s probably true as well.

It's hard to question the legacy of a movie like The Breakfast Club. John Hughes' coming-of-age masterpiece of 1985 was a fascinating depiction of teenage angst, as seen from the perspectives of five students coming from different parts of '80s society. It was a game-changer for its young cast, who would then become part of the Brat Pack and pursue acting careers outside the stereotypes the movie built for them. Curiously, as famous as the film was and as timeless as it remains for its fans, in over 40 years, the cast has never reunited. That was until a few days ago, when Andrew, Brian, John, Claire, and Allison were seen together at a pop culture convention.

The Breakfast Club cast has reunited for the first time in 40 years, although not in a sequel to the beloved high school movie. As reported by People, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Emilio Estévez,...

The Breakfast Club is a classic teen movie that has a firmly cemented place in pop culture. However, fans of the movie often go on record as saying there's just one thing they dislike about it - the makeover that goth chick Allison (Ally Sheedy) gets from Claire (Molly Ringwald).

Now, the stars of The Breakfast Club - Sheedy, Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, and Emilio Estevez - have reunited for "Don't You Forget About Me: The Breakfast Club 40th Anniversary Reunion" at the C2E2 pop culture convention in Chicago. There, Ringwald told her co-stars and the con attendees (via Entertainment Weekly) that she doesn't want to be blamed for that unpopular makeover, which left Allison stripped of all that made her unique.

"I just want to say that I am not responsible for the makeover, and I was really not happy," Ringwald declared. She went on, "I...

It’s been 40 years since the Brain, the Athlete, the Basket Case, the Princess, and the Criminal all suffered through detention at Shermer High. Now, they have reunited for the first time ever as a way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Breakfast Club.

The 40th anniversary celebration of The Breakfast Club was first teased last month, but it’s still a nice surprise for fans considering Anthony Michael Hall, Emilio Estèvez, Ally Sheedy, Molly Ringwald, and Judd Nelson have never joined up in this capacity before. But thanks to Chicago’s C2E2, the troubled teens – now successful middle-aged actors – were able to take to the convention scene this week.

Speaking at the event marking the 40th anniversary of The Breakfast Club, Estèvez – who played Andrew Clark, sentenced to a Saturday detention for taping another student’s butt cheeks together – said this was the exact moment he needed...

It was a high school reunion 40 years in the making.

The stars of the 1985 film The Breakfast Club — Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, and Anthony Michael Hall, otherwise known as the prom queen, the jock, the weirdo, the rebel, and the nerd — reunited for the first time at the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo on Sunday.

Four decades after John Hughes’ The Breakfast Club helped define a generation of teen cinema, the film’s five lead actors appeared together publicly for the first time since its 1985 release. Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Ally Sheedy, and Judd Nelson joined a panel at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2) on Saturday, timed near the film’s 40th anniversary.

As the cast took the stage, the crowd greeted them with cheers and applause. The “Colonel Bogey March,” whistled by the characters during their detention day in the film, played over the loudspeakers. The panel covered a wide range of topics, including working with John Hughes, behind-the-scenes memories, and the film’s standing in a different media landscape.

“This is the first time that Emilio has joined us. We don’t have to use the cardboard cutout anymore because he’s here,” said Ringwald. “I feel really...

Don’t you forget about them.

For the first time in four decades and just a little past the 1985 classic film’s 40th anniversary, all five stars of John Hughes’ The Breakfast Club reunited.

Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy all took the stage during a panel conversation celebrating the seminal coming-of-age drama at Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo yesterday. As they were introduced by moderator Josh Horowitz, the cast walked out to the “Colonel Bogey March,” the same track the teenagers whistled to in the movie that fateful day in detention.

During the panel, which you can view in full here, the actors discussed working with the storied writer-director Hughes and their on-set memories, taking questions from the audience and speaking to the movie’s enduring legacy.

“I feel really, very emotional and moved to have us all together,” Ringwald said, per Today. “This...

The five members of “The Breakfast Club” reunited Saturday, 40 years after the Shermer High School trouble makers first met in detention.

Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy and Anthony Michael Hall gathered for a panel at Chicago-based pop culture convention C2E2 (via People) to chat with fans about John Hughes’ 1985 classic. Entertainment journalist Josh Horowitz moderated the conversation.

“I feel very emotional and moved to have us all together,” gushed Ringwald, who starred as it-girl Claire Standish in the film. She went on to jokingly acknowledge the attendance of Estevez, adding, “We don’t have to use the cardboard cutout anymore. I feel really moved that we’re all together.”

“I felt that I needed to do it myself,” Estevez quipped back, before noting that the reunion felt “special” given that C2E2 takes place in Chicago, the city in which “The Breakfast Club” was shot.

Later in the discussion,...

“I feel really very emotional and moved to have us all together,” Ringwald told the crowd, noting that while the rest of the group had previously reunited, it was the first time Estevez had joined them. “We don’t have to use the cardboard cutout anymore because he’s here. I feel really moved that we’re all together.”

Estevez joked that he had also skipped all of his real-life high school reunions, but appearing at the event “was something that finally I felt I needed to do just for myself. This one felt special, it’s here in Chicago where we made the film. It’s obviously the 40th anniversary,...

Anthony Michael Hall may not be getting any younger with each passing day, but his incredible performances over the years have most certainly cemented a legacy that very few could overpower; one that will live forever.

So when it came to the 2024-released documentary on the same, titled Brats, Hall was expected to grace the screens with his appearance alongside Demi Moore and Rob Lowe as well.

Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong…Forty years after a quintet of troubled and anxious teens sat through a weekend detention session, the Brain, the Athlete, the Basket Case, the Princess, and the Criminal will be reuniting, marking the first official time since The Breakfast Club was released that the core cast will be getting back together – and that’s definitely better than a remake.

While there have been partial reunions for the cast of The Breakfast Club (namely at the 2005 MTV Movie Awards and even earlier this year at MegaCon), next month’s C2E2 in Chicago will bring Emilio Estèvez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, and Ally Sheedy to the stage.

That's right, Gen-x readers, the 1980s were four decades ago. Take a minute to process that if you need to. Hall was one of that decade's biggest teen stars, with appearances in Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Weird Science. He was a frequent collaborator with John Hughes, the king of '80s coming-of-age teen comedies.
