Don't you forget about them. 

All five stars of the iconic 1985 film The Breakfast Club have reunited for the first time in 40 years.

Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy came together during a panel discussion at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo.

During the panel, which you can watch in full above, the actors discussed working with writer-director Hughes and their on-set memories, taking questions from the audience and speaking to the movie’s enduring legacy.

“I feel really, very emotional and moved to have us all together,” Molly said. “This is the first time that Emilio has joined us. We don’t have to use the cardboard cutout anymore because he’s here.”

Emilio addressed his absence during previous reunion events, saying, “I skipped all of my high school reunions, so this just was something that finally I felt I needed to do just for myself. But Josh, this one felt special. It’s here in Chicago, where we made the film, and obviously the 40th anniversary, and it just felt like it was time.”
