Today is March 24, aka #breakfastclubday. While it is tempting to say, they don't make teen movies like they used to, the evidence does not bear that out. Please then name your favorite teen movie of the 21st century.

#DYK? John Hughes mentions THE BEATLES in pretty much all of his movies. The mention is more subtle in THE BREAKFAST CLUB but apparently Principal Richard Vernon got his name from British actor Richard Vernon, who is in A HARD DAYS NIGHT

#DYK? It was costume designer Marilyn Vance's idea to have the characters in THE BREAKFAST CLUB dress in layers that they removed throughout the day to show them letting their defenses down and allowing each other in. Vance also costumed PRETTY IN PINK and FERRIS BUELLER

#DYK? Glasgow Scotland's SIMPLE MINDS was already famous and six albums into their career when "Don't you Forget About Me" became a #1 song in America and broke the band there. The album right before, called SPARKLE IN THE RAIN, had already broken the band in Europe.
