I love this exchange and how Anthony Michael Hall's character is trying so hard to be relatable to their conversation. When they finally do pay attention to him, Bender slams him.

Claire Standish: You know why guys like you knock everything?
John Bender: Oh, this should be stunning.
Claire Standish: It's because you're afraid.
John Bender: Oh God, you richies are so smart, that's exactly why I'm not heavy into activities.
Claire Standish: You're a big coward.
Brian Johnson: I'm in the math club.
Claire Standish: See, you're afraid that they won't take you, you don't belong, so you have to just dump all over it.
John Bender: Well, it wouldn't have anything to do with you activities people being assholes, now would it?
Claire Standish: Well, you wouldn't know, you don't even know any of us.
John Bender: Well, I don't know any lepers, but I'm not going to run out and join one of their fricking clubs.
Andrew Clark: Hey. Let's watch the mouth, huh?
Brian Johnson: I'm in the physics club too.
John Bender: Excuse me a sec. What are you babbling about?
Brian Johnson: Well, what I had said was I'm in the math club, uh, the Latin, and the physics club... physics club.
John Bender: Hey, Cherry. Do you belong to the physics club?
Claire Standish: That's an academic club.
John Bender: So?
Claire Standish: So academic clubs aren't the same as other kinds of clubs.
John Bender: Ah... but to dorks like him, they are. What do you guys do in your club?
Brian Johnson: Well, in physics we... we talk about physics, properties of physics.
John Bender: So it's sorta social, demented and sad, but social. Right?

I must be the only one that finds this movie a tad pretentious and trite.

With its stereotypical, underdeveloped teen stock characters. And all the whiny, "woe is me" dialogue.

And I am from that generation.

From the Hip is underrated...well, it's not really rated.

Judd Nelson's career dive was the most surprising.

How do you watch with the story notes, do you just have to catch that certain edition on AMC at the right time?

One of my favorite parts that me and my friends still do is when AMH is signalling that the library is equipped with fire exits at both ends and he does that little front to back hand signal like a flight attendant. Cracks me up.

AMH also has another quote that for the life of me I can't remember that always makes me lol.

In relation to Sixteen candles, I hadn't seen it in a long time. I can still relate to some of the things in that movie even though I went to high school in the 00s and not the 80s.

It comes off as pretentious and trite because we are adults and we realize now that the things teenagers worry about and fret over are usually silly and dumb--especially privileged teenagers.

However, when we were teens, this movie struck a chord with us because these people on screen could have been our peers. We ALL knew someone like each of these kids or we WERE one of these kids.

Today, as adults, we all probably associate more closely with Mr. Vernon--busting our asses in a shite job, having to work on Saturday for a few measly extra bucks, and catering to these arrogant little rich assholes.

Bender: Claire, you wanna see a picture of a guy with elephantitis of the nuts? It's pretty tasty.

Claire: No thank you.
Bender: How does he ride a bike?
Bender: Oh Claire, would you ever consider dating a guy who looked like this?

Claire: Can't you just leave me alone?

Bender: I mean even if he had a nice personality and a cool car... although you'd probably have to ride in the backseat because his nuts would ride shotgun
