RIP.
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

Breakfast Club was fun though. Ally Sheedy rocked in that one.
:o
WTF?
:weep:
I shall scream "BENDER!!!" in his honor.

Agree about Ally Sheedy but have you seen Breakfast Club recently? It's a whiney emofest.
I saw it recently, and I still like it. :huh:
Bueller.
Also, Planes, Trains, & Automobiles. Nobody ever mentions this as a Hughes film. It's like they forgot it.

Did you pronounce the t in recently?
:(
Also the soundtrack to Pretty in Pink is awesome.
And there ends the Home Alone movies. :cry: :cry:

Come on, let's not celebrate in the RIP thread.
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

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

:huh: How old are you?
:cry: Breakfast Club is one of My all time faves(tm).
... a lot of bad soundtracks cluttering my teenage soundscape. good riddance.
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.

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.
