best movie i've ever seen.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I was turning eighteen on the year 1985 and seeing this flick for the first time I half appreciated it. A few years later, graduated and all, I caught this film replayed on the telly. Then it dawned on me that I really can relate to this film and started to fully appreciate it. What our high school memory collage is made of, it varies from person to person ; bullied, awkward, spoiled, brat, ungrateful, never satisfied, restless, shy, anxious, angstig, nervous, happy, sad, shallow, and all the oxymoronic description of being a teenager comes to mind. But a few years passed before I really reflected on this film, and yes I have changed and so has everyone. A lot of these youngsters, Estevez, Ringwald, Sheedy, Nelson, Michael Hall are just the same as me and my high school friends, some made it, some continue to struggle but one thing for sure, we're all trying to survive this crazy, cruel but wonderful world. As a rite of passage film, still relevant personas up to this day. For the younger generation, the music of Simple Minds is perhaps worth adding to your ' like ' list.

It makes me think and feel.... We may be different on the outside but so similar on the inside... Five kids with different backgrounds but the same generational issues.

The movie is one of the best movie I've ever watched! Its cast was chosen perfectly. They reflect their characters very well. Movie criticizes the same type of people who want to get in a stereotype groups. So movie displays this situation. You can feel 80s atmosphere from their clothes and music that they used. Songs were perfect and dance scene was fun. Smoking scene was pretty good but final scene was the best! "DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME!!" The best teenager movie so far.

Teen movies usually feature stereotypical, one-dimensional characters. This film gives color to these stereotypes and explore the depths of their personalities.The jock, the outcast, the nerd, the popular girl, and the criminal report for detention on a Saturday. On normal school days, they never talk to each other because of their differences. However, during detention, they find out that they are not so different from each other after all.The cast is amazing. Everyone portrayed their characters perfectly. Judd Nelson stood out as John Bender. I can't imagine the movie without his character. He gave life to the whole film. I got mixed emotions while I was watching this. I felt happy, sad, angry. It can also be heart-wrenching, particularly the scene where Bender makes his family impression. It is just so sad that in reality, some people have lives like him.The ending is good. What will happen on Monday? Will they act the same like they did before detention, ignoring each other? Or will they accept their true selves and continue their newfound friendships?This is an iconic movie. Everyone will still watch it after, say, a hundred years because it's just so amazing.
