Where would you rank The Breakfast Club in the list of best John Hughes films?

The Breakfast Club is probably in my top 3. What are your thoughts? Arguments for and against including it in the top 3/top 5.

Undoubtedly it's one of the greatest John Hughes films - most certainly in my Top 5. Possibly even in my Top 3.

With The Breakfast Club, Hughes was able to communicate with teens in a way no other director had done before or since. He addressed the issue of school stereotypes and brought humanity to each of them.

Not to mention that the movie has some of the greatest most quotable lines of any of his movies.

"Doe Barry Manilow know you raided his wardrobe?"

I think of all of the Hughes movies, this one stands the test of time best, is the most well-known, and is the most beloved.

For me, it only ranks behind:

1. "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles"
2. "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"
3. ...and I think "Sixteen Candles"

then...

4. "The Breakfast Club"
5. "Uncle Buck"

I would also rank it in my top 3. Probably one the best films to portray the inner feelings and drama that shape young people into who they are and why they do the things they do.

Breakfast Club will be #1 for me because it is truly a classic. It was the most meaningful movie John Hughes did. The idea is impressively theatrical for a teen movie. Five teens shows up at Shemar High School for Saturday detention.The breakfast club does not resemble any teen movie prior to that or after that . John Hughes did an outstanding job at writing,directing and producing this movie. Breakfast Club is used as a tool in many schools to encourage students to do well or they may end up in a detention setting which is similiar to the Breakfast Club.
