I enjoyed Pretty in Pink much better than 16 Candles. I know it’s an unpopular opinion.

16 Candles is far superior.

It was always funny to us that he wore a casual suit to school and smoked in the school hallways, never going to class. I guess that was the definition of rich back then.



But Duckie drags the movie down...in fact the parody of him in Not Another Teen Movie is great because its so annoying.

I hated that movie.

Hughes finest work is Uncle Buck.

You should be ashamed for this post.

Nobody… and I mean nobody has ever pulled off the douche role better than Spader.

Why didn’t a few (this and Less than Zero mainly) of James Spader’s characters make it into the most hated villains thread?

I had no idea this was a John Hughes film and I cannot believe I have never seen this.

Hughes went on such an epic run in this era, over a 10 year stretch either writing or directing:

National Lampoon's Vacation series
Sixteen Candles
Breakfast Club
Weird Science
Pretty in Pink
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Great Outdoors
Uncle Buck
Home Alone 1&2

Regardless which you think is best, these are all iconic and well loved.

I can't stand Molly Ringwald. I don't know how she became so popular after being fired from the Facts of Life.
