‘The Breakfast Club’ was one of the quintessential teen movies of the 1980s. See the iconic cast then and now after nearly 4 decades.

Time to listen to “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” and jam out. The Breakfast Club was released 36 years today and is still as timeless as ever. The John Hughes-directed movie was released on Feb. 15, 1985, and became an instant classic. The Breakfast Club follows five high school students over the course of one Saturday detention.

The Breakfast Club featured five core members of “The Brat Pack,” the group of young stars who starred in several 1980s teen films. Many of The Breakfast Club cast members worked together a number of times in the 1980s. See what the cast of The Breakfast Club is up to now and see the core five then and now.
