Really, his biggest mistake was not pairing Molly Ringwald with Duckie in "Pretty in Pink." The guy she was interested in was a jerk of the highest order. It didn't make sense and ruined what could've been a sweet movie. "Sixteen Candles" with the final ending was probably more popular with teen girls…who were more…

My kids watched both "Sixteen Candles" and "The Breakfast Club." No one seemed to like the first (which I always thought was pretty funny and also had a good romantic, teen girl ending), but all loved the 2nd. My daughter actually teared up.
