Archive Photos—Getty Images by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Dec 28, 2017 4:46 PM UTC The Criterion Collection has just given fans of _The Breakfast Club_ the greatest gift of all — a 4K digital restoration of the [John Hughes classic](http://time.com/5027509/you-may-never-see-home-alone-the-same-way-after-hearing-this-viral-theory/?iid=sr-link1) with 50 minutes of never-before-seen footage of your favorite kids from detention. In a previously unreleased scene, which premiered [over at Vulture](http://www.vulture.com/2017/12/breakfast-club-cut-scene-ally-sheedy-sickens-molly-ringwald.html), Molly Ringwald’s Claire Standish and Ally Sheedy’s Allison Reynolds head to the bathroom for some much-needed girl bonding time. The only thing standing in the way of these two forging a lasting friendship that lasts far beyond their all-day detention, breaking down the walls of their high school’s social structure, is that Claire is completely grossed out by Allison’s behavior — and Allison can’t help but goad her on. Fans of the [1985 teen drama](http://time.com/4439098/celebrate-the-anniversary-of-lionel-richies-dancing-on-the-ceiling-with-these-80s-movie-dance-sequences/?iid=sr-link5) will quickly see how the scene perfectly sums up the relationship between the so-called princess and basket case. If nearly an hour of new footage isn’t enough to make you want to throw down for the new Criterion Collection release of [_The Breakfast Club_](http://time.com/4600173/national-film-registry-announcement-2016-films/?iid=sr-link3) when it comes out on Jan. 2, the DVDs and Blu-rays also feature interviews with Anthony Michael Hall and Judd Nelson, as well as Ringwald and Sheedy, and a new video essay featuring director [John Hughes](http://time.com/4354745/tegan-and-sara-new-album/?iid=sr-link10)’ production notes, read by Nelson as well as a whole bunch of other fan bait.
