About This Quiz
Everyone knows Brat Pack alum Molly Ringwald starred in "The Breakfast Club," but do you know the name of the character she played, or which fellow student she hooked up with in the closet on that fateful Saturday? If you think you know everything there is to know about this classic '80s flick, take our quiz and see if you've got what it takes to earn a perfect score.
It's hard to believe that a movie about a group of kids serving Saturday detention managed to be so interesting, and yet "The Breakfast Club" not only topped the charts when it was released in 1985, but remains a beloved film favorite to this day.
Regularly touted as a perfect representation of '80s teen culture, it's clear that fans found something to relate to in this movie about five seemingly unrelated youth. Because as it turns out, all of us are more than what we are labeled by society, and in every one of us is a brain, an athlete, a princess, a criminal and a basket case -- and of course, so much more.Â
