When you walked into the room I could see you were no fool Is that smile a sign for me? Only if my heart could see
Can I hold you in my dreams? Keep your body close to me Tell myself I've got control Even though you're hot to hold
Is your heart too hot to hold? Just a flame that burns my soul Heart, too hot to hold Too hot, too hot, to hot to hold
When you walk, you walk so cool And you know the way you move Makes me want to take a chance Are you ready for romance?
Will I make your body cry Cry so loud you'd never hear In the shadows of my life Can I take you home tonight
Is your heart too hot to hold? Just a flame that burns my soul Heart too hot to hold Too hot, too hot Too hot to hold
Heart too hot to hold Just a flame that burns my soul
Heart too hot to hold Too hot, too hot Too hot to hold
From what I have been told I'm not missing any thing
Don't trust the word of others. Only trust your own opinions. And mine. You can trust my opinions too
Yeah, I don't know anyone who has ever said The Breakfast Club was worth missing. It's one of the best 80s movies. John Hughes wrote a trilogy of teen movies that spoke to everyone (the other two being Pretty In Pink and Sixteen Candles).
Luv4u, do yourself a favor and watch it. You'll find yourself in there somewhere, I guarantee it.
This movie will always have a special place in my heart. I was a combination of the brain, princess, and the basket case. My dad and I sometimes communicate through visual art. He showed me this movie in the early 90s when I was having trouble fitting in during junior high. It really did help with what I felt at the time,and with my understanding of others. I kept the David Bowie quote from Changes featured at the beginning of the movie pinned to my wall in my bedroom from Junior High until the time I got my first apartment. I was also thrilled to see the 1999 album in the movie, as this was around the time I was first getting into Prince. [Edited 3/25/18 11:36am]

You won't hear my tears."
I never seen it too, but if EmmaMcG recommends it then I'll check it out
I was never even alive in the 80s so I can't be accused of just liking the nostalgia factor. It's a genuinely good movie.
For those of us who were alive and in high school in the 80s, John Hughes - for being an older guy, that being older than a teenager and in his mid-thirties - found words and provoked emotions that teenagers might not have been otherwise able to articulate.
All five kids in Saturday detention have their demons to purge. The jock can't think for himself. The princess feels peer pressure to be perfect and looked up to. The brain feels a threat of failure for everything below an A or B that he gets; and sees his clubs (like computer club) the same as social clubs that the princess is part of. To her, they're different, but to the brain they're the same. The criminal acts out because he has learned that from his alcoholic abusive father. The basket case is as such because her family flat out ignores her (as she confesses to the jock who understands her because his own feelings are ignored in lieu of his father's need for winners in the family). She longs for attention and affection. We even see her parents (or someone) dropped her off at the beginning of the movie and drive off before she can even say goodbye. Her confession as to what got her to detention is rather enlightening to her situation.
Adults in the movie all have their own twisted and unrealistic view of teenagers, although one sums up who really changes over time. Echoing that, the kids balk at the idea of changing into their parents, realizing it is probably unavoidable.
While those of us of a certain age do have nostalgia attached, the strength of The Breakfast Club (even more than Pretty In Pink or Sixteen Candles) is the raw and compassionate truth of how the teenagers are written and portrayed, keeping them out of stereotypes and firmly in the pocket of every person who will ever view the movie throughout time.
