"The open-ended plots of classic Brat Pack films like The Breakfast Club and 16 Candles left fans wondering what happens next. Do Bender and Claire find each other years later on Friendster and try to make it work? How does Sam's 17th birthday turn out?\nSee also: 20 Searches Made Ridiculous by Google Autocomplete\nFuture endeavors aside, just trying to make sense of their world in the movies can be perplexing. Some of the details just don't make sense \u2014 and we're not talking about the fashion.\n\n\nQuestions About the Brat Pack Movies\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. Why wasn't Iona arrested?\nDespite the failed shoplifting attempt, we're pretty sure nailing children in the face with a staple gun was illegal, even in the '80s.\n\nVideo: YouTube, anna clare\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Is your friend's breakdown the best time for an obscure history lesson?\nIt's bad enough he disregarded his shivering, obviously distraught friend's problems as not real, and then potentially set her room on fire. But did he have to show off his obscure knowledge of useless trivia to do so?\n\nVideo: YouTube, movieclips\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Why didn't Mr. Vernon just stay in the library?\n\nThe Breakfast Club troublemakers only shared their feelings and a joint in detention, but with limited supervision and a whole Saturday,  they could have mounted a full-blown orgy. \nForget keeping the door propped open, why not sit in the actual room where the students are being kept like every other detention monitor ever?\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, movieclips\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Why did Sam and Jake sit on the table?\n\nSam and Jake were the epitome of awkward teenage puppy love, but it's their lack of knowing how chairs work that makes the build-up plain uncomfortable.\nSeriously, they're going to get frosting all over their knees, not to mention the open flame that's way too close. Most importantly, no matter how romantic the lighting, kissing and birthday cake-eating should be two separate activities.\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, Bluvely\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Why does Bender tell jokes to himself?\nHas his troubled home life caused a complete break with reality, or does he just not know any songs to hum?\n\nVideo: YouTube, movieclips\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. What grand parade was happening in Chicago on a school day?\n\nTo question most of Ferris Bueller would completely undermine the premise - basically Ferris is the unofficial ruler of the student body, adored by his subjects, and possesses a kind of magic ability to make everything go his way. \nBut not even Ferris magic explains why the city of Chicago is having a parade when everyone's in class or at work.\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, CineLeonor\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. How did nine separate family members forget Sam's birthday?\n\nNot just her parents, but both sets of grandparents and three siblings forgot about poor Samantha's sweet sixteen. \nWe're supposed to assume the stress of the upcoming wedding is what caused her entire family to become terrible forgetful people, but wouldn't they have noticed the ceremony was the day after her birthday when they were planning it? Couldn't they have carved a little time for cupcakes? \n\n\nVideo: YouTube, movieclips\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8.What exactly are Jule's friends so afraid of?\nShe might get a little chilly, but she's really in no immediate danger sitting in her drafty room.\n\nVideo: YouTube, movieclips\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. Why don't the teachers try to reprimand Duckie and Steff?\nThey break up the fight, but seem totally fine with Duckie running off and Steff adjusting the suit he stole from Jay Gatsby. Is there some kind of no blood shed, no detention policy?\n\nVideo: YouTube, movieclips\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Universal Pictures/Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
