Anyone who was a teenager in the 80s would dig this.

Bueller?

Bueller is great but Molly Ringwald on re-examination doesn't quite live up to my teenage ideal.

Bueller, Bueller, Bueller... :cry:


RIP

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Breakfast Club was fun though. Ally Sheedy rocked in that one.

Agree about Ally Sheedy but have you seen Breakfast Club recently?  It's a whiney emofest.

Bueller.

Also, Planes, Trains, & Automobiles.  Nobody ever mentions this as a Hughes film.  It's like they forgot it.

And there ends the Home Alone movies.  :cry: :cry:
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Ferris Bueller is one of my favorite 80s movies, and watching Home Alone as a child was like being in heaven.

RIP

Back in high school my class convinced a sub to let us watch Ferris Bueller 's Day Off.  :D
