John Hughes made his name by directing Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson and company in a series of feel-good teenage dramas that weren’t afraid of dealing with the seriously dark parts of the human condition. The motley crew of ‘80s stars came to be known as the Brat Pack, and their finest hour must be The Breakfast Club, which will be screened as part of The Valentine Theater’s Silver Screen Classics series on Friday, May 24. The film features five high schools students, each as different as night is from day, and their interactions when sentenced to Saturday detention. In the course of their punishment, they face their inner demons, and make deep friendships. $5. 7:30pm. The Valentine Theater, 410 Adams St. 419-242-3490. www.valentinetheatre.com. —JS
