I was too young when he was in his prime, I liked Ferris Bueller and P,T, and A.
Other than that, not a fan.
Once Savage Steve Holland makes a comeback, give me a call.

I loved Molly Ringworm in 16 Candles. I wanted to take her to the prom. She never replied to my letters.
After that, she was dead to me.

Some guys used to say I looked like Molly Ringwald. Of course, I have been told I look like a number of different actresses. I just don't see it.
To: HungarianGypsy
Interesting. I get told I look like a young Matthew Broderick (actor from the same era).

I completely concur -- "Better Off Dead" was a freakin' MASTERPIECE!
"Gee, Ricky, I'm sorry your mom blew up."
I did like a lot of Hughes' movies, but BOD is one I can still quote word-for-word.

I miss Hughes' sense of humor. Even the movies he didn't direct (where he had a writing credit), you could still feel the "Hughes" touch.

Ah! You look like Phillipe(sp?) the Mouse? What a cutie you must be. ;-)

Hughes did make some great movies. I watch them in reruns every chance I get.

"I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS!"
I really wanted to buy my husband a Camaro like that for Christmas last year. Had to settle on buying the movie instead. My husband was watching the movie a few weeks back on satellite. I asked why he never watched the DVD. He had forgotten we owned the movie.
To: HungarianGypsy
Oh, LORD, "LadyHawke" was wonderful, as well.

I hope this guy is successful. I don't know how many times I saw Ferris Bueller, Sixteen Candles, etc.
Whenever I can, I try to fit this into a sentence: "Lake. Big lake."

This just proves that some Xers are as self centered as anyone else. There have been so very good teen movies, they just aren't aimed at us. Harold & Kumar go to White Castle, Mean Girls, 10 things I hate about you, Napoleon Dynamite, and American Pie.
