Oak Park Arms presents its popular series “You Be the Critic” at 3:30 p.m. Friday, July 12, at the Oak Park Arms, 408 S. Oak Park Ave. The 1985 classic, “The Breakfast Club,” will be viewed and reviewed with radio announcer Dan Kane.

The film, written and directed by John Hughes, follows five high school students who find themselves stuck in detention together on a Saturday morning. With nothing but time to kill, these kids from different stereotypes find themselves exploring through typical teenage issues and baring their souls as the day wears on.

The movie stars Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy,

By the end of their Saturday sentence they had become good friends. The audience meets them as a Brain, an Athlete, a Basket Case, a Princess and a Criminal, and watches as they form the Breakfast Club.

Known as the “quintessential 1980s film,” the critical consensus touts the movie as a warm, insightful and very funny look into the inner lives of teenagers. Upon release in 1985 the film debuted as No. 3 at the box office and grossed $45 million domestically and $51 million worldwide.

It was released on DVD as part of the “High School Reunion Collection” and was ranked No. 369 by Empire magazine on their “The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time” list. In addition, it was placed on the “Best 1000 Movies Ever” list by The New York Times and ranked No. 1 on Entertainment Weekly’s list of the “50 Best High School Movies.”
