Aw man! :( :( :(

Breakfast club is a bit too preachy IMO (and the ending where they "pretty up" the weird girl sucks big-time), but Weird Science rocks. And Uncle Buck is awesome.

Loved Sixteen Candles whilst though I have huge problems with the endings to Breakfast Club and Pretty In Pink they remain as fond memories to me. A sad lose to those of a certain age.

Not even when Judd Nelson throws his fist in the air to the sound of The Simple Minds.

Pretty in Pink was f**king painful though.... Worst role ever for Harry Dean Stanton.

It may have been Harry D Stantton worst role but he got the attention of a whole new generation of kids. I love the man, I'm glad he was in it. I didn't know him before. I didn´t know Ottis Redding come to think of it before Pretty in Pink. As for kelly le Brook :eek:
But this has to be my favorite scene of all his movies.

I am showing my age... as his films were all over cable TV back when it was
cheap and I was only 10 years old. :lol:

Duckie was supposed to get the girl at the end of PinP-it was all a bit last minute that the rich prick did indeed get the girl.


F*ck Hollywood, F*ck it up its collagen filled arse ;D

:eek: RIP mista Hughes.
I've seen some of his films (Weird Science! Ferris Bueller! Breakfast Club! Planes, Trains & Automobiles!) so many times in my younger days... the world just isn't the same without him.
