Are you ready to feel old? Coming-of-age classic 'The Breakfast Club' turned 30-years-old last month.

To celebrate this milestone birthday of the massive 80s smash hit, Universal Pictures will be re-releasing a digitally remastered version of the film in selected cinemas. An updated version will also be made available on Blu-Ray.

We thought we'd celebrate it in our own way, with some gifs showing how much those kids have changed.

Brother to Charlie Sheen and son to Martin Sheen, Emilio Estevez took fame by the horns back in the 80s and has refused to let it go. His latest big hit was 'Mission: Impossible' in 1996, but he's still going and has featured in three separate 'Mighty Ducks' films.
Ally Sheedy as Allison Reynolds(02 of05)

Debuting on the big screen just two years earlier in 'Bad Boys' (no, not the Will Smith one), Sheedy stormed into the limelight as one of the core members of the 'Brat Pack' - a group of actors featuring in multiple coming-of-age 80s flicks including 'The Breakfast Club'.
Judd Nelson as John Bender(03 of05)

This popular bad-boy popped up in a lot of movies at the time, like many of his co-stars, and still churns out a few films every year.

Ringwald's starring role in 'The Breakfast Club' cemented her a place in the public's hearts, despite rarely taking up new roles. She went on to parody herself in 'Not Another Teen Movie'.
Anthony Michael Hall as Brian Johnson (05 of05)

Hall's latest big hit was a role in Batman reboot 'The Dark Knight' in 2008. He got his start playing a Young Edgar Allen Poe in a made-for-TV movie, and went on the feature in Tim Burton's 'Edward Scissorhands'.

Other movies turning 30 this year include 'Back To The Future', 'The Goonies', 'Rocky IV' and 'St. Elmo's Fire'. Yeah, we feel over the hill too.
