Now that there’s a ‘so bad they’re good thread’ I’m taking this one back to pure bad, not in a good way, films; mainly because I can’t believe I forgot to mention Australia. That was a truly painful cinematic experience. I kept hoping it would end but it seemed to go on and on forever. It was kind of remniscent of Titanic in that way but actually worse.

I may be alone in this, but I loathe with a blind, searing passion The Breakfast Club.
Maybe I was too old when I watched it, like reading Catcher in the Rye. I felt that the characters were two-dimensional and whinged the whole way through the film. Which might actually be a reasonably accurate portrayal of some teenagers…
I could probably have coped with that, but the very end made me actually rant at the television.
The moral of the story, kids… ‘conformity rules, ok!’

Out of interest how old were you when you first saw/read them?

Don’t worry, I’m sure you are. Also, while there’s some things I love and couldn’t relate to other people not liking, there’s a lot of things I love that I can completely understand why some people would think were shit and that particular film and book definitely fall into the latter category.
Hmmm, think I first saw The Breakfast club when I was 13 or 14 and Catcher in The Rye probably about the same, though I’m struggling to remember when I first read it to be honest.
Just to retain a tiny bit of credability in your eyes (although also running the risk of looking a little stalkerish) I just had a little nosey at your profile and have spotted my all-time favourite film and all-time favourite author, them being Natural Born Killers and Chuck Palahniuk.

I would -kill- to be able to write like Chuck. He is the most incredible author. My favourite book of his is Lullaby, but I think his most accomplished is Survivor.
And NBK has my favourite moment in cinema in it. You know when Mickey’s telling the joke and RATM kicks in? Gives me shivers every time.
I watched Breakfast Club about a year ago, and read Catcher a couple of years before that. Both in my 20s, certainly. I think if I’d been younger when I saw them I would probably have seen parts of myself in them… like the Bell Jar. When I first read it it spoke to my life. I don’t know if I’d find it the same reading it for the first time now.

Re. Chuck: Me too! It’s so dark yet entertaining yet thought-provoking and intelligent at the same time and just all round brilliant; so many cool and interesting ideas. I have an English Literature and Creative Writing degree and if I could choose to write like anyone it would be him. I really can’t actually pick a favourite book, I just love his whole body of work.
Re. NBK: Yes, I remember the moment well and I agree. There are several moments like that for me. One of the many great things about the film is the awesome soundtrack, which is undoubtedly my favourite that I’ve ever heard and not only are the songs brilliant but the way they are used is ingenious.
Re. Age on first experiencing things: I think that’s a very fair point. It’s obviously impossible to know how I’d feel about BC or CITH if I’d been older when reading them but I’ve said the same thing about other films that people seem to love and I don’t get, eg. Dirty Dancing; can’t imagine myself liking it but maybe if it had caught me young, who knows?
Re. The Bell Jar: Another favourite of mine, also read it as a teenager and also felt the same way you did. Although I can still relate to a lot of it now to be honest, particularly the fig tree metaphore if you remember it specifically? That’s kind of how I feel about my life right now. Although maybe I shouldn’t admit that…
