A Remastered Version of The Breakfast Club Will Premiere at SXSW
Vasiliki Marapas — March 13, 2015 — Pop Culture
In honor of its 30th anniversary (yes, 30th!), The Breakfast Club is being digitally remastered and re-released at this year's SXSW. Lucky attendees will have a chance to see the revamped version of the 80s classic at Austin's Paramount Theater on March 16th.
The Breakfast Club is one of those films that gets better with time, age and retrospect. Though immensely powerful when it was first released in 1985 -- a truly heartwarming tale about friendship and the different forms it comes in -- it's almost better when enjoyed with a generous helping of nostalgia.
The SXSW premiere of the John Hughes flick will be followed with a small, theatrical re-release for those who want to experience the 80s magic on the big screen.
