The Breakfast Club (6/8) Movie CLIP - Lunchtime (1985) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
At lunchtime, each member of the Breakfast Club brings out food that fits their personality.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
John Hughes wrote and directed this quintessential 1980s high school drama featuring the hottest young stars of the decade. Trapped in a day-long Saturday detention in a prison-like school library are Claire, the princess (Molly Ringwald); Andrew, the jock (Emilio Estevez); John, the criminal (Judd Nelson); Brian, the brain (Anthony Michael Hall); and Allison, the basket case (Ally Sheedy). These five strangers begin the day with nothing in common, each bound to his/her place in the high school caste system. Yet the students bond together when faced with the villainous principal (Paul Gleason), and they realize that they have more in common than they may think, including a contempt for adult society. "When you grow up, your heart dies," Allison proclaims in one of the film's many scenes of soul-searching, and, judging from the adults depicted in the film, the teen audience may very well agree. Released in a decade overflowing with derivative teen films, The Breakfast Club has developed an almost cult-like status.

As a high school teacher who watched this movie as a kid, I have to say, these kids were blessed with a really nice library.

[lr]

Something tells me that the reason Allison eats such a strange lunch is because her parents are so neglectful that as a kid she always had to make her own food with whatever she could find and her diet never changed.

[gianinnakarla]

omg when Bender gave Allison a coke i realized something
he doesnt bullies her in the entire movie, because he knows they are almost in the same situation

[CataclysmBTD]

The subtlety of Bender making fun of everyone else's lunch to hide the fact that he didn't have one was genuinely some of the most fantastic character writing I've seen. Each of their lunches is a representation of the character themselves and I love this film

[logicalfallacy]

I love how Bender is making fun of everyones lunch to disguise the fact that he himself doesn't HAVE a lunch.

[kfactor]

"Can I eat?"
"I don't know. Give it a try."

[gameratwork]

Fun fact: Claire’s lunch was sushi, which wasn’t in the script. She was only supposed to have pasta salad. The idea for sushi was thought up by Ally Sheedy. Because in the 80s, sushi was a food for rich people.

[flamingkitten]

I'm more grossed out that she had sushi just sitting around room temperature in that bag. Raw fish and warmth don't go.

[Onieracraft]

Sushi in the 80's was much rarer and was considered "rich people's food" (which of course is why Claire is the one eating it).

[victor]

I like how the food they eat also represents their characters.

[CorkSkrew]

“Can I eat?”
“…I don’t know. Give it a try.”

Absolutely slays me every time

[scruffdg]

Andrews Lunch is literally someone's shopping list: 3 Sandwiches, a quart of milk, a bag of chocolate chip cookies, a family-size bag of potato chips, an apple, and a banana.

[gmccord]

My favorite part is learning when Allison didn't have to be there.  She was entertained more at school detention than hanging out with her loser parents.

[minutemuse]

Favorite moments: 
1. Bender slapping Brian's hand away.
2. Allison going all adorable mad scientist on her sandwich.
3. The fact Andrew brought half of the pantry with him for lunch.

This movie is timeless.

[anthonysmith]

So Andy’s Dad gave him a whole buffet so he can gain more pounds for wrestling
Claire’s parents gave her very prestigious meal (at least by comparison)
Brian’s parents gave him everything he needs, all 5 food groups
Allison’s parents don’t really care how much sugar she’s eating
And Bender doesn’t even have a lunch

[bicyclist]

I love how Bender throws a Coke to Allison without saying a word. Its some unspoken understanding. This is one of my all time favorite movies. I have it on DVD. I was a kid in the 80's and this is very accurate. Thanks.

[martixboywill]

This man bought a whole damn refrigerator lol

[orlathorburn]

am I the only one here that's impressed by the fact Allison just caught that coke without even looking

[ryan]

I love how Bender decides to stop being a douche for a second to genuinely question what Claire is eating 😂

[subterraneanoreo]

In this scene, we learn lots about their home lives. Claire is eating sushi (a food that was rare and expensive at the time, showing her parents wealth), Andrew is eating lots to gain strength and muscle (showing how his dad pressures him athletically), Allison is making her own concoction (showing how her parents ignore her), Brian is eating a nutritious lunch, all groups are represented (showing that he is educated and healthy) and Bender doesn’t have a lunch. This shows that his parents don’t care and see him as a burden
