See What the Cast of 'The Breakfast Club' Is Up to Today

When it comes to '80s movies, few are as time-honored and beloved as The Breakfast Club. John Hughes's enduring coming-of-age classic defined a generation! (At least, according to Ree Drummond.) The Breakfast Club cast also taught a valuable lesson that can't be learned in a classroom: You should never judge a book by its cover.

After spending Saturday in detention with the Brat Pack, our lives were forever changed along with theirs. There are so many unforgettable moments from this movie, including the dance montage, the group therapy session, and John Bender's triumphant fist pump set to the sound of Simple Minds’ “Don’t You (Forget About Me).” Even the movie poster is legendary. (Did you know it was photographed by the award-winning portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz?!)

This movie is so timeless, it's hard to believe it's been more than 35 years since it first hit theaters. As you watch it for what feels like the millionth time, you might find yourself wondering whatever happened to the brain, the athlete, the basket case, the princess, and the criminal?
