Few could challenge John Hughes in 1980s teen coming-of-age flicks. This brat-pack extravaganza boasts the anthemic "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds, a hit so large it vaulted them into the collective consciousness. The rest of it is more disposable. Elizabeth Daily (aka E.G.) was a kindred spirit of Pia Zadora in that people kept trying to make her famous, although in retrospect it's hard to figure out why. The Karla DeVito track "We Are Not Alone" still wears well, although it may be because it's synonymous with some great imagery from the movie. Producer Keith Forsey went on to work with Billy Idol and Charlie Sexton with mixed results. --Scott Wilson

 The Breakfast Club and its music captured the spirit of the 80s September 24, 2008
R. Baxendale II
If I had to pick one song to represent the 1980s I would, without hesitation, choose Simple Minds' "Don't You (Forget About Me)." Released in the middle of the decade, from one of the Eighties' finest films (The Breakfast Club), the song seemed to capture and celebrate all that came before it while communicating the promise of greater things yet to come. "Don't You" will forever remind me of the many times my friends and I took my company car to Vail in the middle of the night for nothing more than a coke and candy bar; I had the song on a cassette when it began climbing the charts and we listened to it over and over the first time we made the trip up the mountain from Denver. Not too long ago I heard Nina Blackwood (of MTV fame) say that "Don't You (Forget About Me)" was originally written for Billy Idol.

Excellent soundtrack for an excellent movie!! April 10, 2007

This soundtrack album to the 1985 movie The Breakfast Club is excellent! I am not the kind of person to only like the main song from the movie, Simple Minds' Don't You (Forget About Me), and think that the remaining nine songs are not worth listening to. There are a few other songs that I like: "Waiting" is great, "Fire in the Twilight" is excellent, too, "Heart Too Hot To Hold" is great, the "Dream Montage" is quite dreamy and melodic, "We Are Not Alone" is a real dance rocker, and the "Love Theme" is also great, too. For those of you folks who think that the Simple Minds song on this album is the only song worth listening to, you're missing out. Stop complaining! Get to know the other songs on the album, you obviously won't regret it.

I Loved the movie and the sound track from the day I saw it!! Everyone has to see part of themselves in at least 1-2 characters in the movie. The songs just stick in your head and play over and over...."Sitting on ice while the clock is watching losing face" what better description of high school detention is there?
