Glory Days

Watching a classic movie like the Breakfast Club on a Tuesday afternoon at 3pm is definitely one of the perks of this new lifestyle. I dont think I ever really appreciated just how awesome that scene at the end where the five of them are sitting around and emoting with one another is. A few questions about the movie though:

1) We randomly were shown this in high school yearly during our mandatory "Life Skills" classes. Is that more a statement on the teachers at the time and their lack of preparedness with a curriculum or just the sheer power of the movie?

2) Is Molly Ringwald actually hot?

3) Is Judd Nelson still alive?

4) How many makeovers a la Ally Sheedy, administered by the popular girl, have occurred in real life? I feel there have to have been at least a few documented instances.

5) Do "the kids today" still relate to this movie? And is this movie actually just yesterday's High School Musical 2? And how depressing is that thought?

6) Are each one of us really a brain? and an athelete? and a basket case? and a princess? and a criminal?

7) How awesome is the dance scene at the end of the movie? (and question #2 may have just been answered by Molly Ringwald's awesome dancing)
