A/N: These are facts that I forgot to add in the other chapters.

43. Dirty Dancing: one of the songs from the soundtrack was written and sung by Patrick Swayze. It is called "She's Like The Wind".

44. Dirty Dancing: "She's Like The Wind" was originally written for Grandview, U.S.A.

45. The Outsiders: The poster for the film shows the Greasers laughing and Johnny smirking. This is because off camera, Leif Garrett (Bob), was getting food from the food table. A crew member (who didn't know who Garrett was) said "the food is for the talent". Ralph Macchio piped in saying "yeah it's for the TALENT!" causing everyone to crack up.

46. The Outsiders: Rob Lowe asked S.E. Hinton what happens to Sodapop later on, and she replied that Soda is drafted and to Vietnam.

47. The Outsiders: When Matt Dillon auditioned for Dally, Coppola sent him home early. Dillon called his agent saying he didn't get the part. Turns out, Coppola sent him home early because he already knew he would play Dally.

48. The Outsiders: the letter jacket Paul is wearing when he challenges Darry to fight is a jacket from the high school S.E. Hinton went to.

49. The Outsiders: Ralph Macchio and C. Thomas Howell didn't get along that often. They'd argue a lot.

50. The Outsiders: Diane Lane and Matt Dillon didn't get along either. Eventually the two of them became good friends and did two other films together.

51. The Outsiders: Rob Lowe turned 18 on set, causing the cast to play many pranks on him.

52. The Outsiders: Matt Dillon and C. Thomas Howell had to learn how to smoke so they could play their parts as Dally and Pony.

53. The Breakfast Club: The scene where the cast sits in a circle in the library and tell stories of why they're in detention wasn't in the script. Hughes told them to improvise.

54. The Breakfast Club: it was shot in sequence.

55. The Breakfast Club: Hughes and Nelson didn't get along at all. This may of been because Nelson used to tease Hughes' starlet, Molly Ringwald all the time. Hughes stated that he'd never work with Nelson again.

56. The Breakfast Club: Hughes wrote the screenplay in 2 days.

57. The Breakfast Club: 3 of the cast members (Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy, and Judd Nelson) would go on to star in the film St. Elmo's Fire that same year.

58. The Breakfast Club: Ally Sheedy suggested the David Bowie quote at the beginning of the film.

59. The Breakfast Club: Rick Moranis was originally cast as Carl the janitor but left.

60. The Breakfast Club: When Bender distracts Vernon so the other students can get back to the library, he sings part of "Turning Japanese" by The Vapors. He also sings part of U.S. Military cadences.

61. The Breakfast Club: The songs the students whistle while they're in the library is called "Colonel Bogey March". (My band class played that song before. When I saw the part of the movie, I laughed really hard!)

62. The Outsiders: Rob Lowe was really naked on the couch. (Provided by @OutsidersFanGirl)
