On Amc there is an 80's movie marathon. I Just watched Sixteen Candles. This was my second time seeing it. I finally figured out why I watch the whole movie to get to the last two minutes where the hot guy, Michael Schoeffling, figures out his hot girlfreind is not for him, and he falls in love with Sam Baker (Molly Ringwald). Its the classic fairytale dream. I don't know why but I found it to be so sweet. I guess we all have our dreams and crushes and we can all relate to movies where we see our visions become reality. I know my best friend has been hurt recently by the actions of men. And I know in today's world men are looking for other things besides an emotional connection with a person. Well for me, I hope that I can find a guy that is real; That wants to talk about things and be a friend and more. Watching Michael Shoeffling play Jake in this movie really touched me because he played a character that is hard to find. Where are the Jake Ryan's of the world? The guys like him who hunt down that one girl that really really likes them. Guys that treat girls with respect. I wonder if I am the only person that feels that way. But when I watch a character like Jake Ryan, who is gorgeous and commpasionate, looking for a sweet girl that really appreciates him, I wonder why I just can't be Samantha Baker and fall into my fantasy of Jake Ryan!!!
