 “Why do you think The Breakfast Club resonates with not just your generation, but every generation of teens?

Molly Ringwald: It’s the universal feeling that we all are alone—that we’re all different. I think the movie’s one resounding theme is that everybody feels the same, and we’re all alone together.”

Peter O’Brien writes:

For its 30 year anniversary, Happenings pop up events are hosting an outdoor screening of The Breakfast Club (1985) at the Leinster Cricket Club in Rathmines at 7.30pm tomorrow.

Of this trailer for a longer feature, John Fleming writes:

legendary Irish rocker Eamonn Dowd, based in Sweden, performs frequently around Europe with his bands the Racketeers and the Last Souls. Dublin gigs usually see him in the Leeson Lounge.

Here is a look at some of Quentin Tarantino’s bloodiest moments.
