On March 24th, 1984, the "breakfast club" reported for detention consisting of a group of five very different people from contrasting social circles in high school. There's no doubt it's hard to get along with people who are different from you sometimes, and it's even harder when you're trapped in a library on a Saturday at 7 am. The Breakfast Club has become one of the most popular movies of all-time, earning a selection for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." So, what is the cast up to 34 years later? 1.
