The movie title was never explained

Remembering “a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal” who were quarantined (in detention) 37 years ago today.

Edit: Come to find out the film’s title originated from the nickname devised by students sent to detention at New Trier Township High in Winnetka, Illinois (about 15 miles north of Chicago). Those in detention were jokingly said to be part of “The Breakfast Club.”
