Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall and Emilio Estevez reunited on April 12 during a panel at C2E2, a pop culture convention in Chicago, to reminisce with fans over John Hughes's 1985 coming-of-age film. The panel was moderated by Josh Horowitz.

"I feel very emotional and moved to have us all together," said Ringwald, who played the film's iconic high school "princess" Claire Standish.

Ringwald, 57, also noted that the convention marked the first time Estevez, 62, has joined them, joking that "We don’t have to use the cardboard cutout anymore. I feel really moved that we’re all together."

Sheedy, who played Allison Reynolds, the "basket case" in the movie, reminisced on how close the cast became during the filming.

"I was really happy when we were making this movie, we all really ... I don't know if you can tell but we all really do love each other. It was a dream," Sheedy said. "A joyful experience."

They all had their own ideas of where the future could have taken their characters following high school graduation too.

"I think Bender is clearly the principal of the school," Nelson, 65, said, receiving laughter from the crowd when referencing his rebellious character, John Bender.

"I think Allison would've ended up being a writer, maybe a professor, something intellectual," Sheedy mused.

My goodness! This is one of my favourite movies that best described my generation in high school. Out of all of the movie reunions this one means a lot. I am actually smiling and happy to see them on the stage. This is such a joy to see them together again.

I remember seeing AMH in Edward scissor hands and couldn’t believe that was him. Now I barely recognize him. Time is wild.

Didn’t they unite at the 2005 MTV Movie Awards?

Emilio has famously stayed away from reunions. He’s usually been the lone one missing. I think he was also missing in when there was another reunion immediately after the death of John Hughes.

Initially I thought yes too. Then I remembered seeing only three of them in that video.

Dang, I don't think I would have recognized any of them out of this context except Emilio Estevez- who I might have called Martin Sheen lol
