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)?

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.
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.)
Not to mention the Annie Potts antimakeover.

OMGFLAMESONTHESIDEOFMYFACE!!!!
Yeah. Err. That too.
We have some Ferris Bueller haters here in buffista-land, but I still love that movie.
I was sorry to hear John Hughes died - and so young. I was in junior high school when I saw "The Breakfast Club" for the first and high school for "Ferris Bueller", "16 Candles" and "Pretty In Pink" (worst.ending.ever)
My friend and I saw "Some Kind of Wonderful" (also high school) and cried and cried during the movie - she was in love with her male best friend and related just a little too much to the movie.
I feel like this summer, my youth is literally dying off.
I don't like it.
I bet Annie Potts dumped yuppie boy and went back to dressing weird.(I've always been sort of tempted to write a Graduate style fic about her and The Duck, anyways...a year or two in the future or something.)
I always hated Long Duck Dong. Then I heard an interview with the actor who'd played him and I felt terrible for him.
Laga,
what did the actor have to say?
I adore Ferris Bueller beyond all reason and Planes, Trains... is one of my DH's favorite films so we are a John Hughes household.
I laugh about the Annie Potts makeover b/c we have had this conversation before - I never saw it as an antimakeover - I always saw her as just changing her clothing "mood", which I do often.
