WATCH: Ultimate tribute to '80s teen flicks

Alixandra Caole Vila - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - Whether you grew up in the '80s or you just love big hairs and pastel clothes, this video will give you a retro-awesome vibe.

In line with the 30th anniversary of the American coming-of-age, comedy-drama film "Breakfast Club," YouTube user Robert Jones put together clips of the best movies from the 80's. Whether you are the jock, the brain, the princess, the basketcase or the criminal/bad boy of your generation, check out the video montage created using the '80s hit “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” from the iconic film.

As a bonus, here are some trivia enumerated by Nerve.com about the movie.

  1. Director John Hughes wrote the script in only two days, over July 4th weekend in 1982.
  2. Hughes initially intended for the film to run two and a half hours, far longer than the 97-minute theatrical release.
  3. Working titles for The Breakfast Club included The Lunch Bunch and Library Revolution.
  4. Ally Sheedy  suggested the film's epigram, a quote from David Bowie's "Changes."
  5. Simple Minds' "Don't You (Forget About Me)," written specifically for the film, was the band's only number-one hit.
  6. Sheedy's "dandruff" was actually Parmesan cheese.
  7. Sheedy is silent for the first 33 minutes of the movie.
  8. Hughes makes a cameo appearance as Brian's father at the end of the film.
  9. At one time Hughes planned to film a Breakfast Club sequel every 10 years, in the style of the Up series. We wish he had.
