“The classic 80s film, The Breakfast Club strands five archetypal teenagers — played by Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy — in a high school library for an all-day detention session. Left to their own devices, the kids move beyond an initial hostility to work through their anxieties with frankness and mutual recognition.

“Tommy Wiseau’s The Room may be the first true successor to the Rocky Horror throne.  Wiseau's Johnny is the noblest of boyfriends and most capable of lovers. But none of that satisfies his fiancée Lisa, a wicked Jezebel whose boredom with Johnny manifests in a brazen affair with his best friend.

“On the surface, Amy Heckerling’s 90s spin on Jane Austen’s novel Emma appears to be merely another frothy coming-of-age flick. Scratch below the shiny exterior, though, and what emerges is something altogether more clever, as much a sharp, satirical parody of the affluent as it is hip, sassy entertainment dressed in designer labels.

“To call Harold (Bud Cort) a strange and troubled soul would be an understatement. He’s faked his own gruesome death more than a dozen times and spends his spare time hanging out at strangers’ funerals. Maude (Ruth Gordon) is a free-spirit entering the twilight of her life.
