![John Hughes High School Year Book [DVD]](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages-na.ssl-images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2F81oRKNWETkL.jpg&w=3840&q=75)
Product Description Three John Hughes teen comedies from the 1980s. In 'The Breakfast Club' (1984), five mismatched teenagers are stuck with each other for the day when they are forced to spend Saturday at school on detention. Gradually, though, unlikely friendships form. John Hughes' seminal high school comedy set the template for a number of 1980s teen movies, while Simple Minds scored a huge hit with their theme song, 'Don't You Forget About Me'. In 'Weird Science' (1985), a couple of nerdy schoolboys hook a Barbie doll to their computer and scan in magazine pictures of perfect parts of the female anatomy as part of an experiment. The result is the woman of their dreams - Lisa (Kelly Le Brock), a curvaceous and house proud beauty - whose mission it is to help them get the girls. They soon find themselves the most popular boys at school after Lisa manages to loosen them up a bit. Finally, in 'Sixteen Candles' (1984), Samantha Baker (Molly Ringwald) is approaching her sixteenth birthday, but sees little to celebrate about: her family have, in any case, forgotten her big day, and she is suffering from a severe bout of unrequited love. Worse still, the object of her affections is being courted by the school's most desirable student - can Samantha trust her quarry to value brains over beauty? From .co.uk The Breakfast Club John Hughes's popular 1985 teen drama finds a diverse group of high school students--a jock (Emilio Estevez), a metalhead (Judd Nelson), a weirdo (Ally Sheedy), a princess (Molly Ringwald), and a nerd (Anthony Michael Hall)--sharing a Saturday in detention at their high school for one minor infraction or another. Over the course of a day, they talk through the social barriers that ordinarily keep them apart, and new alliances are born, though not without a lot of pain first. Hughes (Sixteen Candles), who wrote and directed, is heavy on dialogue but he also thoughtfully refreshes the look of the film every few minutes with different settings and original viewpoints on action. The movie deals with such fundamentals as the human tendency toward bias and hurting the weak, and because the characters are caught somewhere between childhood and adulthood, it's easy to get emotionally involved in hope for their redemption. Preteen and teenage kids love this film, incidentally. The DVD release includes production notes, cast and crew bios, widescreen presentation, Dolby sound, closed captioning, optional French and Spanish soundtracks, and optional Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh Weird Science Yes, that is Bill Paxton as Ilan Mitchell-Smith's militaristic big brother. And that's Robert Downey Jr. as one of the in-crowd jerks who makes nerds Mitchell-Smith and Hall's lives miserable. Fortunately, this is a John Hughes comedy and our smart nerds create the perfect woman, Lisa (Kelly LeBrock), using a computer and voodoo. Lisa is a willing sex toy, has magical powers, and just wants to help the boys get even and meet nice babes. She even cleans up. The fantasy ebullience of Hughes is given full rein here and that's good and bad (mostly good). It's all aimed at a certain kind of hormone-addled, 16-year-old sensibility; but who doesn't have a little bit of that in them? --Keith Simanton Sixteen Candles Molly Ringwald established herself as the teen queen of the '80s in this fresh comedy. The movie is a day in the life of Samantha, whose 16th birthday is turning out to be anything but sweet. All the traumas of teendom come down on one long day, which sees Samantha surrounded by dithery relatives, mooning over a high school hunk, and pursued by a sawed-off Lothario. Sixteen Candles marked the directing debut of John Hughes, and its goofy energy displayed a promising talent with a great ear for high school lingo ... a promise neglected since Hughes became, after Home Alone, a one-man entertainment industry. There are some pretty crass moments (Why the stereotype of the foreign-exchange student from Asia?), but Ringwald's steady appeal smoothes over the rough spots. As the pubescent, self-styled lady-killer, Anthony Michael Hall turns in a hilarious portrait of a young swinger; he and Ringwald would reteam with Hughes for The Breakfast Club, another key teen picture of the decade. --Robert Horton

but maybe I would have enjoyed it if I was in the target age group
Worth it to get Sixteen Candles. Weird Science was a bit too silly, but maybe I would have enjoyed it if I was in the target age group!

Bought for my neice who cannot believe I had heard of or ever watched these films (I was never young!!) she enjoyed them and they are youth classics I think. Well worth the money

Cult adolescenziali in un bellissimo box
Un totale di 5 dvd (Breakfast Club è l'edizione speciale 2 dvd), 1 dvd solo per i contenuti speciali di Sixteen Candles e Weird Science. Personalmente soddisfattissimo dell'acquisto, sono film che hanno segnato un epoca e, soprattutto Breakfast Club, la mia vita. Edizioni molto ben curate, ricche di contenuti speciali tutti da godere, comparti audio e video assolutamente dignitosi. Due titoli su tre fuori catalogo in Italia, tutti e tre conservano la traccia audio italiana. Per me, da prendere al volo!

Delusione parziale
Guardando "Un compleanno da ricordare" ho realizzato che hanno tagliato delle scene. Ho visto anche "Una donna esplosiva" ma sinceramente non ricordo se anche qui hanno effettuato dei tagli. Delusione perché speravo in una versione integrale e non tagliata. Sono comunque felice di averlo trovato con l'audio in Italiano.

Edición y películas excelentes.
Si compras este pack tienes muy claro que te gustan las comedias ochenteras y sobre todo John Hughes. Un servidor así lo es, por lo que si tu también estás pensando en comprarte este pack, no lo dudes, te gustará seguro. Una chica explosiva viene con un disco, 16 velas y el club de los 5 con 2 discos. La edición esta muy cuidada, una caja cubre otra interior que se despliega para ver los discos y en ella podremos ver imágenes de las películas.Muy recomendable. Calidad audio e imagen muy buena para ser DVD.Si te gusta el cine, visitanos en Facebook. ColeccionistasCine

Zurück in die 80er - Tolle Box für kleines Geld
Eine wunderbare Box mit drei der besten Filme von John Hughes, ein Muss für jeden Fan von Molly Ringwald und Co. Man fühlt sich direkt um 25 Jahre zurückversetzt in die späten 80er.Die Box beinhaltet neben den 3 Filmen noch 2 DVDs mit Zusatzmaterial, vieles davon ist jedoch verzichtbar, John Hughes selbst taucht nicht auf, was bei so einer Box eigentlich wünschenswert wäre, immerhin war er mit seinen Filmen stilprägend für eine ganze Generation.Die 3 Filme verfügen über eine deutsche Tonspur, was aus der Artikelbeschreibung nicht deutlich hervorgeht.5 Sterne für die Filme, 3 für das Bonusmaterial, insgesamt eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

Cofanetto John Hughes
Il cofanetto che mi è stato recapitato è composto da una confezione in cartone che contiene 4 amaray: tre sono dedicati ai i film e uno contiene il dvd extra di Weird science/Sixteen Candles. L'edizione di The breakfast club è quella a 2 dvd (film + extras) che credo non sia mai uscita sul mercato italiano, dunque si tratta di 5 dvd in tutto.Attualmente gran parte dei film di John Hughes sono fuori catalogo nel nostro paese, dunque il mio consiglio è di rivolgersi a questo cofanetto Uk, dato che offre tre film importanti nella carriera di questo grande regista/produttore; inoltre è importante far notare che per ogni film è presente anche la traccia audio italiana oltre all'inglese, sebbene io consigli comunque l'ascolto in lingua originale: l'adattamento si rivela piuttosto approssimativo, soprattutto nel caso di Breakfast Club.

I love it!!!
Oh ich liebe es, meine Fernsehabende sind gerettet :)Ich bin ein Kind der späten 80er und wurde zufällig auf die Filme und dem berühmten Prat-Packder 80er aufmerksam.Von da an war ich sofort Fan von John Hughes, immerhin ist er auch für Filme wie "Kevin allein zu Haus""Beethoven" oder die bekannte Griswold-Reihe berühmt! Das sind Filme die man sich immer wieder gerneansieht. Genauso geht es mir mit den Teenie-Filmen aus der Collection.Echt klasse, damit wurden die Grundsteine für alle späteren Teenie-Filme gelegt, wer es mag sollte sichdiese Collection holen, genial!!! :)

it's A MUST HAVE
Il prodotto é arrivato nei tempi previsti e l'imballaggio della spedizione era ben fatto (protettivo). Entro l'imballaggio il prodotto era nella confezione originale ed in ottimo stato apparente (non ho ancora avuto tempo di aprirlo e usarlo). Molto contento.

Un prezzo davvero basso per gli amanti di John Hughes. Breakfast Club in special modo è un film che non dovrebbe mai mancare nella videoteca di un appassionato di cinema.

Great 80s collection but digital codes expired.
The movies speak for themselves; they are great. My biggest concern is that the movie came in last week from Amazon and when I tried to enter the digital codes, only the Breakfast Club movie went through. The other two would not work. I wrote to Universal and they told me the codes were expired. They offered codes to two other movies, which I would not have picked normally.If you just want the BlueRay, this is a great 80's collection If you want the digital copy, you'll want to find another method.

Digital copies not available
As a number of people have already pointed out, the code for the digital copy of The Breakfast Club is the only one that worked; the other two were expired.I contacted Universal support about that and I was told "Sixteen Candles and Weird Science is currently not available for UltraViolet redemption. However, we value you as a customer & will issue you a free code for ‘Edge Of Seventeen and Howard the Duck‘."Seriously? That's the best they can offer?

Great Movies, Codes May Not Work
Unfortunately, when I went to put in the codes for the digital copies only The Breakfast Club one worked. The other two are apparently expired. While I think this is still a good deal with all the extras included, I was still disappointed by the fail.
