"Brat Pack DVD Collection" contains "The Breakfast Club," "Sixteen Candles" and "Weird Science." "The Breakfast Club" - They were five teenage students with nothing in common, faced with spending a Saturday detention together in their high school library. At seven a.m., they had nothing to say, but by four p.m., they had bared their souls to each other and become good friends. John Hughes, creator of the critically acclaimed "Sixteen Candles," wrote, directed and produced this hilarious and often touching comedy starring five of today's hottest young actors: Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, and Ally Sheedy. To the outside world they were simply the Jock, the Brain, the Criminal, the Princess, and the Kook, but to each other, they would always be "The Breakfast Club."

This sparkling film features a dynamic score, and outstanding performances by Paul Dooly, Emmy winner Blanche Baker and Oscar nominee Justin Henry. "Weird Science" - The Frankenstein legend takes an uproarious twist in this outrageous special effects-laden comedy from the writer-director of "Sixteen Candles" and "The Breakfast Club.
