Oh my goodness....I am TeamPromIsTheWooooooorst. I and more fun on almost any random weekend of the year than at any of the three, count ‘em, three proms that I attended. Does anyone look back fondly on their prom?

“Style for Style. Best, Richard.”

I am going to watch the shit out of this.

I don’t know who half of these people are. I’m only 30. Is this a shortcoming?

Some Kind of Wonderful was the best of them all.

I had the exact same reaction. She would have been pissed about “my sister is having her wedding on my birthday!” for months prior. I do maintain that the portrayal of her younger brother might be the most accurate portrayal of a shitty little brother in the ‘80s ever put on film.

I will take every opportunity presented to me to rage about her hideous fucking dress. I can still feel my disappointment like a knife!

Also, Blane was a dick. And misspelled.

It was so refreshing that she did research, on her own work! and cited her interviews! no vague “I have a friend who...”

Also, not to derail too much, but can we also talk about how Duckie Dale taught a generation of guys that pushy, entitled, Nice Guy behavior was quirky and adorable rather than being borderline stalkery?

Me included, by the way. I spent a LOT of my teens acting like garbage because I thought I was a Manic Pixie…

Can I still like Plains Trains and Automobiles?

All of his films are like this, in my opinion. I rewatched Weird Science recently and I was like HOW HAVE I FAILED TO NOTICE THAT MAGIC SUCKS ALL THE CLOTHES OFF THIS GIRL AND THEN SPITS HER OUT NAKED IN THE RAIN?!?!

Also characters are referred to as fags, retards and one expresses shock at the idea of a black boyfriend.

Same here - the Hughes ouvre (and let’s not leave out Crowe - fucking Lloyd Dobbler was a stalker) is problematic, but still holds a place in my aging heart. That’s what Gen X had growing up.

I can barely watch ‘Sixteen Candles’ anymore because of the drunk girlfriend scene. My love of Jake Ryan has taken a bit of a hit, too. And I feel guilty for laughing when the grandpa describes what Long Duck Dong (um...) was wearing when he disappeared and then says “no, he’s not retarded”. But, this movie holds a…

Sixteen Candles is essentially unwatchable now between the racism and the misogyny.

And SO MUCH badly painted MDF shit.

I mean, all of the designers were pretty terrible, but those two were the worst. And yeah I’m totally going to watch too, at least if I can find it online.

She’s the reason to watch! If TLC keeps her on a short leash, they’re really missing the appeal of this show!
