I'll have to go with PIP...because of the wonderful choons from the order...doesn't that one have thieves in it???? ![]()
PIP here as well, mostly cause of the music as well I suppose, though I still laugh a lot whenever 16 Candles is on TBS or whatever. Breakfast Club hasn't aged too well with me, I have no desire to ever see it again in my life.
I was watching PIP a couple days ago. It's been awhile since I've seen it. I didn't realize there were THREE new order songs in the film. I also noticed the Lowlife images in the background at the music shop.
can i?
Sixteen Candles is SOOOO my favorite. Molly Ringwald at her mopey, pouty and sassy best.
(she's my number one celebrity crush. blush.)

Out of the three films, Breakfast Club is my fav - as a movie, since I even have it downloaded onto my comp. But, as far as Molly Ringwald goes, I'd have to pick Pretty In Pink, which, the first time when I saw it, when I was in 7th grade, I wasn't a New Order fan, but thought the soundtrack was pretty cool, despite I was a hardcore Smashing Pumpkins fan.
the breakfast club, without a doubt.
the best line in the history of cinema is when bender asks brian why he needs a fake ID. brian replies: 'so i can vote.' genius!
brian can be my neo-maxi-zoom-dweebie any day. :D

such a classic! if i had seen it in ninth grade, i rpobably would have watched it that many times, as well. it's a great high school movie (partially because it, well, takes place in one).
breakfast club without a doubt, although whenever the other half and i discuss names for our future daughters, the line 'fat girls name' comes up.

I watched TBC at least 40 times... not to mention that Ferris Bueller's Day Off has passed the 100 views long time ago... I still know all its dialogues (in both English and Portuguese version)
Those were weird times. Thank God I quit this teen-movies addiction.
The breakfast club of course.. only movie everyone could relate to one caracter.
WHICH ONE ARE YOU ??????????

youve watched ferris over 100 times??? that's a lot, I mean life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop & look you may just miss it!
i picked pretty in pink, not entirely because of new order's tracks in the film, but because of the scene where ducky attacks james spader then pelts down the hall and rips the banner down that was a gripping scene!!!!
It's always funny to see "where are they now?"
We expected many of those artists to have a big career.. somehow, Molly Ringwald failed, Emilio Esteves vanished for some reason, Judd Nelson was doing TV and B serie movies, as for the rest...
I think the only actor of those movies that actually turned to be a noticable actor is John Cusack, who had a small part in Sixteen Candles, although it's not everyone that knows him as an actor, even though he played with Julia Roberts in America's Sweethearts (not his best movie.. I'd prefer to state High Fidelity, Being John Malkovich or Say Anything.
He has an impressive career, but yet, he's not a "star".. one of my best actors though!

Well, I think I just understood the message after hearing it over a hundred times...

ah, yes. john cusack--i've always been rather fond of him (especially in 'say anything'
). in fact, my last boyfriend looked quite a bit like him...
john cusack is a very watchable actor, we were discussing this in work t'other day
apart from american sweethearts he aleways seems to pick interesting films, some of his more recent roles tend to be a bit similar (cf grosse point blank with pushing tin) but if he is in a film you know its going to be intelligent (con air is recent exception proving the rule)

well, they should have left it as is. i don't know anyone who was rooting for blaine. duckie was cool--he wore excellent vests and hats, and blaine...was named blaine. plus, you just knew duckie listened to new order and the smiths, while blaine was jamming to bryan adams in his delorean.
this is why 'some kind of wonderful' was a superior film. same plot, only eric stoltz goes off with drummer girl at the end instead of amanda jones. and amanda was cool about it, too.
i love the scene in Pretty In Pink where Duckie is sitting in his room, listening to Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want by The Smiths.
SOOOOO fabulous and right on. ![]()
yet of course still very sad. :(
