"The Breakfast Club" does NOT take place in September. The movie opens with the date on the bottom of the screen -- March 24, 1984. Why do I remember? That's the day my father died.
Question - does "Back to the Future" take place over one day? It's starts with Marty performing after school and ends the next morning.....
Not impressed with the list - I would certainly include:
12 Angry Men - an alltime great.
I'd also include Stand by Me, Ferris Bueller and Clerks.
I'd drop Do the Right Thing, Magnolia, Before Sundet & After Hours.
Personally I's also replace My Dinner with Andre with Glengarry Glen Ross
Where is "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"? (Otherwise a nice list.... there's some other fun ones you are missing though "Go" "500 Cigarettes" come quickly to mind.)
