Come enjoy this outdoor movie experience with the beautiful backdrop of The Mountain Winery, 14831 Pierce Rd., on a summer's evening at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 21. They were five students with nothing in common, faced with spending a Saturday detention together in their high school library. At 7 a.m. they had nothing to say, but by 4 p.m. they had bared their souls to each other and become good friends. To the outside world they were simply the Jock, the Brain, the Criminal, the Princess, and the Kook, but to each other, they would always be the Breakfast Club. Price is $15, $20 parking; $15 for carpoolers (three-plus in car). Details: 408-741-2822
