Keeping it in the 80's... John Hughes

2bearsmom · **Keeping it in the 80's... John Hughes**

The 80's music thread made me think of John Hughes (everyone has seen at least ONE of his movies!) What was your favorite Hughes movie? I loved them all, but I think Sixteen Candles would have to be my fav.

"Can you describe the ruckus sir"?

I voted for Breakfast Club, but Sixteen Candles was a very close second!

"I don't think you're a dork", "Mike thinks I'm a dork"...."Mike is a dork"!

I liked everyone of these movies but Sixteen Candles is just the best. I wonder what ever happened to Jake, ohhhhhh he was soooo good looking!

Boy that was tough!! The first 6 on the list were all great, but ultimately I went with Breakfast Club.

I like them all, but Sixteen Candles was my favorite! Ohh, i agree, whatever happened to Jake?? I know he starred in "Mermaids" with Cher and Winnona Rider but after that i don't know what happened to him.
LOL, maybe TMI but whenever dh is trying to make me laugh he will walk into the bedroom after his shower and drop his towel and say " Oh Sexy G'RLFREN" in that same accent that Long Duck Dong says it. Cracks me up everytime!

For me it was a triple tie woth Uncle Buck, Sixteen Candles and Ferris Bueller. I picked uncle Buck because I love John Candy!

Definitely Sixteen Candles!! My girlfriend (duh, it's a chick flick) and I used to imitate when Sam (Molly Ringwald) wrote the reply note about Jake Ryan and wrote "NO !!!" and underlined it three times!! I was obsessed with the way it sounded in the complete silence of study hall (in the movie) but we did it ALL THE TIME on paper and on binders ~ to mqke sure we got the same sound effect!! Such dorks we were !!!

OMG NOw I'm doubting myself. She did write NO, right? Oh geesh. I used to know every single line....it's been a while...
