The Breakfast Club(1985)

7.7/10

dir. John Hughes

S-Tier

Five high school students from different walks of life endure a Saturday detention under a power-hungry principal. The disparate group includes rebel John, princess Claire, outcast Allison, brainy Brian and Andrew, the jock. Each has a chance to tell his or her story, making the others see them a little differently -- and when the day ends, they question whether school will ever be the same.

St. Elmo's Fire(1985)

6.1/10

dir. Joel Schumacher

A-Tier

Sony A-Tier 4K. The Brat Pack after college. No relevant collector signal on this one, which puts it squarely in the "it exists if you want it" category of the Sony catalog.

Sony Pictures · 40th Anniversary Edition

dir. Nelson Shin
