The Breakfast Club

They were five students with nothing in common, faced with spending a Saturday detention together in their high school library. At 7 a.m., they had nothing to say, but by 4 p.m. they had bared their souls to each other and become good friends. John Hughes, creator of the critically acclaimed Sixteen Candles, wrote, directed and produced this hilarious and often touching comedy starring Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy. To the outside world they were simply the Jock, the Brain, the Criminal, the Princess and the Kook, but to each other, they would always be The Breakfast Club.

Three Amigos

When a villainous bandit terrorizes her small Mexican village, a real-life damsel in distress enlists the help of three goofy singing cowboy Hollywood stars--mistakenly believing that they are as heroic in person as they are onscreen. The wimpy actors think they are going south of the border to perform a one-time show for a large fee. As they arrive in the tiny oppressed village, they begin to realize that they are caught in a horrible case of mistaken identity and must truly fight for their lives against the evil marauder El Guapo. They cowardly run for their lives while the village is almost destroyed until they realize the importance of their mission and are forced to use real cunning and bravery to try to defeat the villain's hordes in order to prove that the Three Amigos are as truly as courageous and heroic as they appeared onscreen.
