Brian Johnson (Anthony Michael Hall) is the brain who got caught with something dangerous in his locker. John Bender (Judd Nelson) is the local hard case.

First, they turn on each other with adolescent viciousness and energy, but soon, they turn to each other for support and sympathy. Each one learns that people, even teenagers, have many secret sides. To the outside world they would remain the Jock, the Brain, the Criminal, the Princess and the Kook, but within their special ranks, they would always be The Breakfast Club.SIXTEEN CANDLES: It's Samantha Baker's Sweet Sixteen, and no one in her family remembers the important occasion. John Hughes, the writer of National Lampoon's Vacation, shows how coming-of-age can be full of surprises in this warm-hearted teenage comedy starring Molly Ringwald. She's your average teen, enduring creepy freshmen, spoiled siblings, confused parents and the Big Blonde on Campus, who stands between her and the boy of her dreams. But wait...the day isn't over yet! This sparkling film features a dynamic score, and outstanding performances by Paul Dooley, Emmy winner Blanche Baker and Oscar nominee Justin Henry.WEIRD SCIENCE: The Frankenstein legend takes an uproarious twist in this outrageous special effects-laden comedy from the writer-director of Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club. Critically acclaimed filmmaker John Hughes is at it again, giving nerdy computer whiz Ilan Mitchell-Smith and his best friend, Anthony Michael Hall, power to create the 'perfect woman' (Kelly LeBrock). Like a computer-generated fairy godmother, the duo's out-of-this-world creation guides the pair through the pleasures and pitfalls of adolescence. With a rock beat supplied by many music superstars including Oingo Boingo, this far-out, sci-fi fable brings everyone's favorite teen fantasies to life through the miracle of Weird Science.
