What is your favorite John Hughes 80's teen movie?

But is Molly Ringwald hot ?


I vote yes, who's with me ?

I tell you what I never thought so because she's a ginge, but re-watch TBC again, I would have absolutely bent her over her desk and plugged a few holes.

Really. Red headed girls are top, boys though....well they are struggling aren't they. Sorry Brennan.

Girls can always go blonde too. Boys are basically left with going for the Mr. Clean look, or just dealing with ginge-ness. I admire them though. Takes heart to go through life with red hair.

Breakfast Club is the best of those listed.

Only seen Breakfast Club from that list. Perhaps I am more 90's than 80's.

Breakfast club is relatively entertaining. The characters spend the entire film whinging about how they should not be pre-judged by stereotypes, but then the film concludes with Brian Johnson defining each character with stereotypical terminology, and then commenting on how amasing it was that such characters were able to get along with each other.

I guess the point being made was that the group could overcome stereotypes and get along with each other. But by referring to each other with stereotypical terminology in the films conclusion, it makes a mockery of the characters whinging about being pre-judged, imo.

The film ends up celebrating the coming together of different social groups, rather than denouncing the sterotypes and prejudging that plays a central theme in the movie. Imo.

Nice one. I like critique like this. I've tried it myself in the film thread but not many seem interested.


Re: the poll, it looks like I have to watch Ferris Büller. Hope it's not about some annoying teen coming of age.
