Some Kind of Wonderful

Ok, watching that just made my morning. THANK YOU!!!!!

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Keith is such a moron he should listen to his dad

Blow your college fund jfc pal

this thread is decades of madness, Lea Thompson is gorgeous

MSM was best in Heaven Help Us though

Lea Thomson was super foxy wtf?! All the people in this movie were very attractive in the 1980s when it came out and I saw it as a teenager and it somehow has seeped into my middle-aged psyche more than any of the other teen dramas of that era.

Like these 1980s teen movies I know I saw but can barely remember anymore:

Pretty in Pink (Jon Cryer had a really cool outfit that I tried to emulate in my 20s, Molly Ringwald's friend had an awesome wardrobe and apartment)
Sixteen Candles (there was racism against Azns)
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (there was a cool car and they cut class)
Risky Business (Tom Cruise irons something while wearing sunglasses)
Breakfast Club (I remember a few things about that one -- there was a butt thing, Ally Sheedy's purse, Judd Nelson's fingerless glove, and a makeover ... and Don't Don't Don't You ... Forget About Me)
Lost Boys (Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Kiefer Sutherland dressed cool, something about frogs)
Weird Science (Oingo Boingo song, a party, the bald guy with the weird face who was also in the original The Hills Have Eyes)
Dirty Dancing (affluent east coast white people, that song with Sylvia calling her loverboy)

I did not see the Teenbeat Heartthrob Ensemble classic, The Outsiders, until I was an adult, so I am not including it above

Risky Business is really weird to watch now

oh and Heathers! I actually do remember a fair amount about Heathers --

I think the real alt-babe of 80s teen movies would be MSM in this vs. Winona in Heathers

I could never get past what an ugly dress Molly Ringwald made in Pretty In Pink out of what Annie Potts gave her to work with. I understand...1986 and all, but jeezus. What a potato sack.

The soundtrack is incredible. Furniture's "Brilliant Mind" is one of the great 'lost' tracks of the 80s.
