I believe Once Bitten was his first flick and I don't remember him being as over the top as his later flicks. But I haven't seen it in years either. I just remember thinking back to that one and being surprised he was in it.
Now, Love at First Bite with Mr. Tan as Dracula...
I, really and for true, got Breakfast Club from the library, as I have never seen it. I've seen Ferris, Say Anything, 16 Candles, Lost Boys...Really, the only one that stuck at all was Say Anything.
Being 12, I watched Red Dawn in High School. We laughed and laughed and laughed.
I don't know that Heathers belongs in the same 80s category with the rest of those movies. To me, it feels more like the beginning of the 90s asthetic.
If this is name-your-favorite-80s-movies night, I gotta add Repo Man to the list. It's *so* LA.
Hey, plate of shrimp!
I was just mentioning Repo Man to Paul, as part of my trying to explain who Henry Rollins was. (Involving Black Flag.)

True, it does have a 90s vibe (although it definitely came out late 80s) but I think the conversation started with teen movies of the 80s so
Heathers
sort of works as a send up of that whole genre.
Hey, plate of shrimp!
ha!
We just watched it again recently. It really is tweaked.
I almost totally forgot to post this. Saturday's Rose is Rose made me say MiMi is one of us.
I tried to rewatch
Repo Man
a couple years ago, and just couldn't do it. Found it impenetrable.
Heathers
was one of the few 80s movies I saw on first release. 1980-1987 were not big years for me watching American movies about teens.
AAAARGH. Why am I awake? I want to be asleep! But I suddenly woke up and am coughing and coughing. Stupid hotel room. Stupid lack of cough drops. Stupid body. Argh.
Once Bitten. . . another movie my sister and I watched too much of as girls. Our favorite line was "He doesn't want you because you're mean and evil. He wants me, because I'm nice, and sweet, and pure. So fuck off!"
Because, you know, she said "fuck."
Pump Up the Volume -- it was early 90's, right? Oh, loved! And it had a great soundtrack.
meara, I feel your "I can't believe I'm awake" grrr. Ugh. 4 a.m.
