The Breakfast Club
“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” may have made the most of Chicago’s illustrious, filmable locations, but “The Breakfast Club,” set in the fictional suburb of Shermer, Illinois, is the better film. Laughs, tears, stolen kisses, lessons learned. High school was awful and great. We’re all athletes, brains, princesses, basket cases and criminals. Hughes knew that better than anyone.
