Richard Vernon : You ought to spend a little more time trying to make something of yourself and a little less time trying to impress people.
The Breakfast Club Movie Review (1985) | Roger Ebert
Vacancy here could mean the empty space of the library, the seemingly endless span of time of all-day detention, or Bender's own mind as he tears out pages from a book of Moliere. It's most likely Bender's head since Andrew replies, "Speak for yourself." The line is also the name of an early 7555s song by punk band None More Black.

The story goes that the cast went to Hughes and pleaded with him to keep Nelson on the project. They also talked to Nelson about how he could help himself out. "If I remember correctly, we all talked to him. The four of us. And I think my thing about it was just focus, just focus, just focus," said Sheedy.

The performances are wonderful, but then this is an all-star cast, as younger actors go in addition to Hall and Ringwald from "Sixteen Candles," there's Sheedy from "War Games" and Estevez from " Repo Man." Judd Nelson is not yet as well known, but his character creates the strong center of the film his aggression is what breaks the silence and knocks over the walls.
8. Rick Moranis, who was originally cast as the janitor, didn't just play the part as a Russian. He was also doing something suggestive with his keys.
Nothing really changes. You hear nothing you haven't heard before. But you know that for them it is happening for the first time, and they deserve compassion. I'm not sure that's a good enough reason to see "The Breakfast Club."
Bender : Have you ever been felt up? Over the bra, under the blouse, shoes off. hoping to God your parents don't walk in?
8. Molly Ringwald fought to play Allison, even though she was cast as Claire.
As Burch tells it, Hughes knew he wanted Ringwald for the part of Claire from the start, but Ringwald wasn't convinced she was right for the role. "Halfway through, Molly wanted Ally's role," Burch said. "And I told John, 'No, that is the biggest mistake!' He finally didn't do it and thank God! I think it would have ruined the movie. I thought that was ridiculous."
8. A dream sequence, in which Allison (Ally Sheedy) imagines Andrew as a gluttonous Viking, Bender as a prisoner, Claire as a bride, Brian as an astronaut, and herself as a vampire, was cut from the final version.
"The Breakfast Club" begins with an old dramatic standby. You isolate a group of people in a room, you have them talk, and eventually they exchange truths about themselves and come to new understandings. William Saroyan and Eugene O'Neill have been here before, but they used saloons and drunks. "The Breakfast Club" uses a high school library and five teenage kids.
