Quick thoughts on my impromptu John Hughes movie marathon:
Pretty in Pink: Just an all around perfect 80s romantic comedy with great characters played by Molly Ringwald, Andrew McCarthy, and Jon Cryer. And by the end, you will be in love with McCarthy's Blane. Trust me.
Some Kind of Wonderful: I know this is Hugh's answer to what he considered not the best ending to Pretty in Pink, but Pretty in Pink is much better. Just saying. The story doesn't seem to much in this one. But still not a bad movie, just not as great as some of his other ventures.
She's Having a Baby: It is just weird to see Elizabeth McGovern in any setting that is not Downton Abbey. But I will like any movie with Kevin Bacon, so this movie was just fine. Though Bacon's character is pretty unlikeable throughout most of the film.
Weird Science: This one is for the nerd in all of us. Plus, there's Bill Paxton! And Robert Downey Jr.! So yea, it's pretty damn good.
The Breakfast Club: Basically the best high school movie ever. There's really nothing else to say here.
Sixteen Candles: Pretty much the second or third best high school movie ever. Depending on where I decide to place Pretty in Pink in the list.
