And there ends the Home Alone movies.  :cry: :cry:
Come on, let's not celebrate in the RIP thread.

Home Alone wasn't nearly as bad as The Breakfast Club.


RIP dude.

I liked 16 Candles, when the geek got the cheerleader, thanks to alcohol. a moral lesson about love that will stand for eternity. :)

16 Candles was one of the weaker ones I felt.

Pretty in Pink was good as it centred around class consciousness.

Breakfast Club may be an emo fest, and, in hindsight some of the acting was pretty lame, but they will never ever sell a movie to kids these days about " a bunch of kids in detention class"...and again, it had that class consciousness thing.

The Home Alone movies were too gay for me, but maybe it's an age thing.

But Ferris Bueller is in a league of its own. Coincidently it was on TV on the weekend and I caught bits of it.

I didn't say I *liked* Home Alone. :mellow:

Breakfast Club had all the horribly cliched characters of a teenybopper comedy while trying to sell itself as something more meaningful. Home Alone was what it was.

I'd argue that the characters were cliched after that movie came out.

Why not? Detention is pretty benign, almost every kid has been there at least once.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
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.

Not me!  Not even a warning in my whole grade school career. :goodboy:

well it wasn't  Paul Westerberg or Bob Mould or Gibby Haynes -- you know, people who tried to make the 80's fun -- just by way of example.
