quote from the late john hughes

"I haven't disappeared," he said. "I'm standing right here. I'm just not in Los Angeles."i don't know if i'd still like it today, but i LOVED "sixteen candles" when it came out. it just felt like it got everything right--how intense everything is--how every embarrassment is something that you think you'll never get over

*sniffle* King of the 80s teen movies. I completely adored Pretty in Pink - it came out at a time when I was struggling with the fact that I just did not fit in with the default culture of my peer group (and didn't *want* to fit in), and that film helped me get my head around the concept that being different could be way cooler, and It Was Okay To Be Me.

(And you know about my readhead fetish, so I don't need to tell you all about my Molly Ringwald crush...)

I saw The Breakfast Club but haven't seen any of the others.
