I was in a discussion with friends just yesterday about coming of age movies for different generations, and our consensus on the eighties was “a John Hughes movie”.
‘Sent my sister “Pretty in Pink” for her 40th birthday last year....remembering the emphatic F-word in the first part of “16 Candles” and thinking her daughter probably shouldn’t see it....
