omg I love this movie so much

I also really love Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles

Did I say :a:

This movie is one of my favorites because I really relate to each of the characters in one way or another.

I was so in love with Judd Nelson and his nose!!!!!

Who knew the nerd would be the one still with a career.

There's another Prince connection Listen to the music that is played when the credits are rolling at the end (right after the Simple Minds song).That's Jesse Johnson's song "Heart Too Hot To Hold".

Harlepolis said:

Girl, yeah the director John Hughes was doing his thizzle in the 80s. I wish he'd come out with some more stuff.

There's a Prince connection in each of John Hughes' trifecta of teenage movies:
Sixteen Candles - the goofy kids on the school bus are playing 1999 on kazzoos.
Weird Science - there a scene with Kelly Lebrock, I believe in the mall, when the play Private Joy

"chicks can't handle dey smoke"
I used to watch this movie every chance I got, almost as much as purple rain
I loved the whole Brat Pack and was a groupie.

ahhhhh the 80's
oh yeah I knew John Hughes was P fan before this movie and was pleased that he paid homage to the purple one

SCNDLS said:

Oh SNAP

The melody is fimiliar but their playing was so jacked up I couldn't recognise the tune

I love SUBTLE homages

SCNDLS said:

So basically we had no choice to become Prince fans if we watched these films. We were being brainwashed!

Yeah, the BRAT PACK from the 80's. I loved watching Alley Sheedy hold up the 1999 album sleeve. That movie Rocked. Now see Alley as a Lesbian in HIGH ART. Several Years ago.

Harlepolis said:

I believe Simple Minds recorded the song specifically for the film. I remember reading at the time the band didn't care for it that much since they didn't write it and it never appeared on any of their studio albums.

SoulAlive said:

I have the 7". Jesse didn't produce the track though so it doesn't quite sound like his other stuff.

MRGee said:

Yeah, I hear that term ever so often.

Can somebody hip me to that term? Is it a term to describe "80s teen movies", I'm not really sure what it means and where it came from?

Harlepolis said:

The Brat Pack is a nickname given to a group of young actors and actresses who frequently appeared together in teen-oriented coming-of-age films in the 1980s. The term, a play on the Rat Pack from the 1950s and 1960s, was first popularized in a 1985 New York magazine cover story, which described a group of roughly interchangeable, but already highly successful and rich, teen stars

It's about the subliminal.

A lot of John Hughes' movies lost shine for me when I discovered how much of an ass Molly Ringwald was. But this stuff was gold for me when I was younger. This and a host of others:

'Last American Virgin' (If you've never seen this, it's a bit more than your average horny teen movie. The end is just crushing)
'Three O'Clock High'
'Heaven Help Us'
'Seven Minutes In Heaven'
'Fire With Fire'
'Fast Times At Ridgemont High'
'Valley Girl'
'Some Kind Of Wonderful'
