Aw, yay Joe! That's one of my favorites, too.
After that, I'd have to go with The Breakfast Club.
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
He said that he had that Kevin Bacon moment between them taking me into the OR for my emergency C-section and him joining me in there. Poor bub.

Because books.
Aw, yeah.
There were some great moments in that movie, really true ones. Plus, bonus young!Alec Baldwin, and Elizabeth McGovern, who I've always liked.

Am I horrible for thinking of the irony if he passed out at Baskin-Robbins? I was just at TMZ...man, I feel dirty. Although those comments were all respectful...it's just *usually* nasty.

The Chicago Tribune has a photo gallery of various "kids" from Hughes films--they say this about Michael Schoeffling (Jake):
Reporters have gone looking for him since [he retired from acting in 1991] with no luck -- GQ called him "the Salinger of male models/actors" in 2002. He is reportedly working as a carpenter making handcrafted furniture in northeastern Pennsylvania.

I may be too old to really appreciate John Hughes, but I am very big on the Ferris Bueller love. I'm afraid all the other high school movies make me very twitchy.

How did I not know he was an ASU alumnus? I mean, since I am too, albeit during his, like, Salinger period. But it still seems like Alumni Office FAIL that I found that out on a wiki...we have so little to be proud of.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Sixteen Candles for sure for me. I liked all of them back in the day, but that's the only one I'll stop and watch if I come across it as I'm channel surfing. What teenage girl couldn't relate to Sam (and secretly hope for some Jake Ryan action)?

Ferris. Breakfast Club second. Love them both.
Pretty in Pink, OTOH, causes me to go into feminist rage black outs. Also, PEOPLE? DUCKIE IS A "NICE GUY" WHAT DO YOU SEE IN HIM?
(Err, I wasn't kidding about the rage black outs. That movie makes me Uwe Boll angry.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Not to mention the Annie Potts antimakeover.
