steepdecline added a comment August 06, 2009 09:31 PM| ReportI memorized The Breakfast Club word for word the summer of 7th grade -- such a great film Thank you John
markjeffrey added a comment August 06, 2009 09:35 PM| ReportNo. This really sucks. HUGE fan of Hughes movies ... I don't know how many times I *still* quote from Ferris Bueller, I'd guess at least once a week or month even still. Too bad we can't write SAVE JOHN on a water tower and have it magically work -- RIP.
