An oldie but goodie. The brutal honesty run amuck among five teenagers punished to a weekend 8-hour confinement in a high school library, strongly resonates even today - especially the worry: "Will we end up like our parents?". Even though this is an accurate time capsule of the 80's (correct me if I'm wrong), I'm glad I watched this John Hughes classic for the first time three decades later, to enjoy the cinematic representation of never-ending generation gaps, and the dilemma of peer trust/mistrust. If you haven't watched this, do so. If you have; watch it again.
