The iconic ending of The Breakfast Club has been paid homage many times, lately in teen movies like Easy A and Pitch Perfect. But triumphantly throwing your fist in the air will never be cooler than when you do it with a theater full of people at an anniversary screening of the 30-year-old John Hughes movie. Plus, watching a bunch of people re-create that library dance scene, complete with the hilarious dance moves a la Molly Ringwald (or Carlton if you're a '90s kid) is not to be missed. Whether you're a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess or a criminal, you'll belong to the club at the Alamo Drafthouse (100 S. Central Expressway, Richardson). Show starts at 8 p.m.; tickets are $12 at drafthouse.com/dfw.
Wed., April 1, 8 p.m., 2015
