for me it's EASILY Some Kind of Wonderful...

I know it's just Pretty In Pink in reverse with a soundtrack that's not as well known, but I LOVE that film. Good Stuff.

Did anyone mention "The Last American Virgin?" It's a heartbreaker.

Or "Better Off Dead?" Quite the opposite.

Fast Times At Ridgemont High SET THE FUCKIN STANDARD!

oh yeah "last american virgin" was so sad. i felt so bad for him. i forgot about "better off dead", i liked that one too.

Definately GREASE (I've seen it about 70 times) and SIXTEEN CANDLES (You yanky my wanky) I love JOAN CUSACK in this movie (the water fountain).

ELECTION was great too.

"Better Off Dead" speaks the INTERNATIONAL language...

Heiress said:

I can't remember that one, though I KNOW I've seen it. What's the basic plotline?

nilegettolrahc said:

Well, it doesn't really have much of a plot... that's kind of the charm of it.

It features a young John Cusack, and lots of "wacky foreigners." Well, actually the two Asian Howard Cosell guys who follow him around harassing him fit that bill, and there's the poor French girl who's living as an exchange student with the fat guy... thus the "international language."

Oh, and the very special meal that JC's mom fixes for her... french fries, french toast, perrier... you get the picture.

its a toss up between ferris and pretty in pink. some kind of wonderful was a cool one, too, but it was too unrealistic. pretty in pink was one of favorites from the brat pack era (though st elmo's fire is my all time fave brat pack movie!).

believe it or not, when i watch ferris bueller's day off now, i get a little too sentimental for time gone by. its pretty pathetic, , but it makes me long for my high school youth a little too much!

Heiress said:

very vaguely remember it, and I usually remember EVERYTHING I read and see. I probably saw it when it aired on tv first time.

American Pie
Breakfast Club
Porky's

when i was in high school, i hated high school movies. i hated high school!

now that i'm an adult, i like movies that show how crap high school was...which is why i might be the only person on here who can watch "romy & michelle", "donnie darko" and "rock'n'roll high school" and totally relate.

how do you relate to Donnie Darko??? Do you time-travel? Do you know Patrick Swayze?

abierman said:

no, but i can relate to the right-wing fundamentalist bunghole gym teacher, and how the cool teachers who actually knew how to make students like school would all get fired within a semester.

OMG, this movie is fucking hysterical! If you're not offended by very raunchy humour and are familiar with a lot of the flicks mentioned above, you'll laugh your ass off! Mia Kirshner as "Catherine" (below) makes one of the great entrances in film history:




CATHERINE (sexily): Jake, can I ask you a question? How come, whenever I tell I guy he can stick it wherever he wants, he always sticks it in my ass?

JAKE (disgusted): That's just way too much information for me, Catherine.

CATHERINE: Oh, no, Jake! Way too much information would be telling you that after they're done, I always take a huge dump. ...On their chest.


This flick is actually an extremely clever parody of teen movies that shows how utterly ridiculous the majority of them are. As a bonus, the DVD features Marilyn Manson's "Tainted Love" video featuring star Chyler Leigh in fetish gear:

Hey I like those movies too. I should check out "Donnie Darko".

"House part-ay! Get funk-ay!"

Ahh, memories.
