The alternate ending that was never shown, and is still not shown! What a click bait title!

[lockedonlaw]

Claire didn't say, "When you grow up, your heart dies." Alison did.

[greghoadley]

Total click bait. You don't put "alternate ending" in the title, and never talk about.

[dwylbtzledwylbtzle]

Whenever I get burned, once, with a blatant click-bait title, I never watch anything from that channel again. If we all adopt this policy maybe someday they'll get the message.

A U.S. vs them mentality? Enough with letting AI read the script.

I stand behind this as i did as a kid. The fist bump/raise to the sky was a perfect ending. The relationships that might have blossomed in that time frame did not need a resolve. Kept us kids feeling like we watched "life in real time." Another day of high school.

[adrianbaker]

So where's the Alternate Ending then?

[kevind]

Some films are best left alone. A sequel to this would be disastrous.

[musingmina]

From what I've heard, the alternate ending was a scene of them on Monday morning with their respective friends/groups; they see each other across the hall(?) and nod, leaving it up to the audience to conclude whether or not they were actually going to talk to each other, or if that was going to be as far as they went. Apparently, only Hughes had a copy of that. The supposed alternate endings mentioned in this clip were all used; Claire and Bender did share a kiss out in the parking lot (as well as a deleted one in the closet), as did Andrew and Allison, before Bender's fist pump.

P.S. When did the group take the fall for Bender's weed? They were somehow never found out.

The story of this film is complete the way it is. It doesn’t need a sequel.

[mikaelcrews]

It's one of the few movies that can't do a remake or a sequel, and defines every generation!

[mandycook]

One of the best movies made for the time along with st elmos fire and the outsiders they dont make them this good anymore.

[GKnSeattle]

Let's do a bit better on fact checking, because The Breakfast Club is Rated R.

[lynnsenger]

In my opinion, "The Breakfast Club" is the best "coming of age" movie ever made. It defined a generation.

[donaldprocknow]

You can’t remake and touch on perfection it just won’t be there

[jsivcosivco]

"5 teenagers." Well... Emile Estevez and Ally Sheedy were 23 at the time, and Judd Nelson was 25! Molly R. & Tony Hall were 17, so there were only two who were still teens. The other 3 weren't even close!!

15:26 If you want evidence that the narration for this YouTube video MIGHT be computer-generated, you'll find it around here.
"US versus THEM".

[loridameron]

Hughs was brilliant and the actors really did their job. I was only a year out of high school, and I really felt like I was back. GREAT movie! I totally had teachers like Vernon. I guess you needed to be a kid to see it.

[lordcron]

I was a teen at the time this movie came out. I was in the 10th grade/Sophemore and got my first job at the new Cinema 4 Theater that opened. It was a great time to be a teenager.

[NextWorldVR]

The A.I. voice did not know the word: 'us', and reads it multiple times as "You Ess". Ridiculous!
