So, why is The Breakfast Club so compulsively watchable?

I don't get it...I've seen the movie twice in its entirely (once for scholastic reasons and once for enjoyment) and it was on TV Land tonight...and I couldnt help myself but watch what was left of it when I turned it on...
Is something wrong with me?

No.
I've seen the film more times than I can remember and it doesn't matter how early on in the film it is or how near to the end it is, I'll stop whatever I'm doing and watch.
It's an addictive lazy-Saturday film. And it should get better treatment on DVD. There's a 2.5 hour version that John Hughes owns, as well as the theatrical and television versions. Would be great to have all three, along with a cast commentary, making of documentary, and theatrical trailer.

Another thing................all of us, no matter where we are in life, can relate to being in detention at one time or another like these kids. It is just the perfect movie, with a great cast, and great music, and John Hughes hit his high point with this film. The watchability factor is very high - on a scale of 1-10, I would give this one at minimum at big fat 11!!!!

The Breakfast Club is a really great movie and the good thing about it was that I got it for $7 at BB last year when it was on sale.
Another two films from John Hughes that are great are 16 Candles and Pretty in Pink. Nope not really a Weird Science fan but it's still a good film to see.
