“After the success of Sixteen Candles the year before, John Hughes’ knack for understanding the problems facing suburban teenagers reached full bloom with The Breakfast Club,” UCR writes. “He also recognized the importance of music in their lives, opening the film with a quote from David Bowie's Changes before making way for its theme, Simple Minds’ ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me).’”

View this post on InstagramBookending the film, “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” has an interesting backstory. Initially offered to several artists before finding a home, the song was turned down by Roxy Music’s Bryan Ferry, Billy Idol, and even Simple Minds. Reluctantly, the Scottish rockers finally agreed to record the song, written and composed by producer Keith Forsey and guitarist Steve Schiff. And it was the best move of the band’s career: The hit soared to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, launching the band into international stardom.
Like its theme song, the cast went through its own bout of shakeups. Imagine this: Emilio Estevez as Bender, Molly Ringwald as Allison, and Robin Wright, John Cusack, and Nicolas Cage rounding out the cast. Yeah. It could've happened. We are definitely thankful for the final cast we got, though, with Ally Sheedy, Anthony Michael Hall, and Judd Nelson joining Estevez and Ringwald, but the near-miss casting stories are always fun to entertain.
