I started the “Top Gun” thread intending it to be a recurring thread, but it kind of fell off the radar. Figured I might as well try to resurrect it.
Seems as good a candidate as any.
Best line of any John Hughes movie:
“Should we dance?”
“It wouldn’t be unheard of.”

Hughes hated it so much he remade it with the right ending a year later, so that should tell you something.

It’s “Sixteen Candles” without any of the humor or self-awareness.

I certainly liked it when I was 16, and I have a nostalgic fondness for it uncoupled from any desire to rewatch it.

Agreed. And Mary Stuart Masterson was so cute. |

I honestly don't think I've seen it since I saw it in theaters.
I liked 16 Candles. I realize that it has aged horrifically and that sucks, but oh well...

I had the ‘Pretty in Pink’ soundtrack.
I know I saw it with someone, but I can’t recall if it was group of friends or one girl or what.
Dang, I was so, so high all the time when I was 16. There are giant gaps in my memory.

The title song is pretty good. Whole soundtrack is great. Captures the time, for those who listened to New Wave, perfectly. |
