Almost 40 years after the release of the iconic coming-of-age drama The Breakfast Club, two of the film's stars escaped their Saturday detention to enjoy a girl's night out.

When The Breakfast Club was released in 1985, its five stars—Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall and Judd Nelson—became five of the most popular young actors in Hollywood.


Together with Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore and Rob Lowe they earned the moniker "The Brat Pack." Some of the other actors mentioned as part of the pack were Robert Downey Jr., Charlie Sheen and James Spader.

The John Hughes film chronicled five teenagers from different social circles all finding common ground when stuck at school serving a Saturday detention. The Breakfast Club has remained one of the more popular teen dramas.

However not all actors who play friends on screen are friendly off-screen.

But in a recent Instagram post, Ringwald suggested the time she and Sheedy shared in The Breakfast Club was only the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Captioned "Early Christmas present-dinner with my psychic sister Ally", the post featured the two 80's film icons, trading in their teen couture for elegant winter coats, sharing an embrace at New York City's popular French eatery Café Luxembourg.

The nostalgic reunion of the two former teen icons saw Brat Pack fans go wild, including fellow 80s icons Susannah Hoffs and Cat Power of The Bangles as well as My Big Fat Greek Wedding scribe and star Nia Vardalos.

Many hoped Ringwald and Sheedy's reunion would be only the first of many Breakfast Club or Brat Pack reunions, with some even calling for a sequel.

While Brat Pack reunions have been relatively few and far between since the 1980s, Ringwald, Sheedy and others have previously reunited on a few notable occasions.

In 2005, Ringwald and Sheedy served as presenters at the MTV movie awards alongside fellow Breakfast Club member Anthony Michael Hall—who also co-starred with Ringwald in the Brat Pack classic Sixteen Candles—and Paul Gleason who played Shermer High School's domineering Vice Principal Richard Vernon.

In 2010 Ringwald, Sheedy and Hall reunited once morejoined by fellow Breakfast Club alumni Judd Nelson to pay tribute to The Breakfast Club's late director John Hughes at the Academy Awards.

In 2015, Ringwald and Sheedy made a special appearance at South By Southwest to celebrate the film's 30th anniversary.

During their South by Southwest appearance, Sheedy expressed despite the drastic changes in high school culture and teenage behavior, the film has a timeless quality.

"The movie has this message that in spite of people’s differences, there is something unifying in the experience of growing up and trying to find yourself."

Ringwald backed up Sheedy's remarks, declaring her then 11-year-old daughter had recently watched the film for the first time and "loved it!"

Video Of Trump Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Is All Kinds Of Awkward After Media Ban Backfires Spectacularly

President Donald Trump's decision to ban CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House prompted a network boycott in solidarity and a ribbon cutting ceremony on the White House's South Lawn came with completely indecipherable audio because the press pool has decided to stop filming daily events.

Footage from a Monday ribbon cutting ceremony revealed that the sounds of the Marine One chopper just yards away drowned out Trump's remarks. The far-right network Newsmax was on the scene, and even they had to admit that Trump's attack against the free press seemed to be “backfiring just a little bit.”

House Republicans Get Hit With Epic Reminder After Tweet Warning About Communists Building Walls

After the official House Republicans X account tweeted a warning that "every communist country eventually builds a wall," critics were quick to point out the party's general hypocrisy.

President Donald Trump has long advocated for the United States to construct a border wall, making it a cornerstone of his immigration policy back in 2016. Since then, Republicans have continued to defend the wall as necessary for reasons of national security.

Mike Pence Reveals Trump's Telling Response After Pence Offered His Prayers Following Jan. 6 Rift

Vice President Mike Pence told the audience during his appearance at the Economic Club of Washington, D.C. that President Donald Trump rejected his offer of "praying" for him following their public rift in the aftermath of the January 6 insurrection.

Pence has long appeared to play both sides, on one hand condemning Trump for pushing the "Big Lie" that the 2020 election was fraudulent, while on the other accusing Democrats of not advocating for election integrity. But he has been out of Trump's good graces for years now since his decision to certify Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election.
