The Breakfast Club actor Molly Ringwald has said the film hasn’t “aged well” in a new interview.The cult classic from director John Hughs turns 40 next year and in a new interview with The Times, Ringwald, who appeared in the film as character Claire alongside Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson and Ally Sheedy, said some elements of the film “haven’t aged well”.“I don’t enjoy watching myself on screen. I only rewatched The Breakfast Club, which came out in 1985, because [my daughter] Mathilda wanted to see it with me,” she said in the interview.“There is a lot that I really love about the movie but there are elements that haven’t aged well – like Judd Nelson’s character, John Bender, who essentially sexually harasses my character.”Bender and Claire share a kiss towards the end of the film, but Bender repeatedly asks Claire about her virginity as well as looking up her skirt at another moment.“I’m glad we’re able to look at that and say things are truly different now,” she added, talking about the scene in a post #MeToo context.Cast member Ally Sheedy has also spoken out about elements in the film before, saying that she “never liked” the scene where her character gets a makeover to make her more attractive.Speaking to The Independent in 2020, Sheedy said: “Listen, it was Hollywood in the Eighties.

Andrew McCarthy’s upcoming Hulu documentary about the ’80s-era Brat Pack, of which both Nelson and McCarthy were charter members.“It seems strange to have that subject matter be something for edited entertainment,” Nelson, 64, told Us Weekly while attending the Children Uniting Nations 24th Annual Academy Awards Celebration & Viewing Dinner on March 10 in Beverly Hills.“Also, like, [McCarthy’s] a nice guy,” he continued, “but I hadn’t seen him in 35 years.“And it’s like, I’m not going to [be] like, ‘Hey!’ No, dude.”It was announced in January that McCarthy, 61, was working on the Hulu documentary about the Brat Pack, so dubbed in a 1985 New Yorker magazine article after the cast appeared together in two movies, “The Breakfast Club” and “St. Elmo’s Fire.”The main Brat Pack members were McCarthy, Nelson, Demi Moore, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Mare Winningham, Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer and Ally Sheedy.Fringe members, sometimes included in the group, were Timothy Hutton, Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage and Sean Penn.McCarthy, Lowe, Moore, Cryer, Sheedy and Estevez, among others, will all be featured in the new project.The documentary will premiere later this year and will be written and directed by McCarthy, whose 2021 memoir was titled “Brat: An ’80s Story.”The group’s name was a play on Frank Sinatra’s early-’60s era Rat Pack, which included Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, Dean Martin and Joey Bishop.Nelson confirmed to the outlet that there was a “request” for him to join McCarthy’s Brat Pack documentary, but that he “politely declined” the offer.

A mini Brat Pack reunion took place over the weekend. Andrew McCarthy shared a present-day photo with Demi Moore on his Instagram, accompanied by a throwback pic to their "St. Elmo’s Fire" days.

“Pretty in Pink” and “Sixteen Candles,” Molly Ringwald was the poster girl of ’80s teen cinema.But four decades later, Ringwald, 55, can’t even watch 1985’s “The Breakfast Club” with her own teenage daughter — Adele, 13 — because of its sexist tropes.“She’s very liberal.

For Simone Finch, the creator and executive producer behind Freeform’s upcoming Single Drunk Female, the comedy starring Sofia Black-D’Elia and Ally Sheedy comes from a deeply personal place.

Rob Lowe is paying tribute to one of the the most iconic films of the 1980s.

At the risk of invoking a cliché, “Only the Lonely” feels like the kind of movie they just don’t make anymore: a modest, unassuming, character-driven comedy/drama but produced and released by a major studio (20th Century Fox, in this case), and featuring a major star (John Candy) playing somewhat against type. Yet even when it was released, 30 years ago this week, “Only the Lonely” was a long shot – a blank check project, as they say these days, written by Fox as a reward for the massive success of “Home Alone.” That film was written and produced by John Hughes and directed by Chris Columbus; this one was produced by Hughes, and written and directed by Columbus.

Ready for a reboot! Rob Lowe thinks a Brat Pack reunion would give the world something to smile about after a challenging year.
