For the ages

Rating: 9/10 (9 June 2007)

Absolutely love this movie. I was 6 when it came out, but my sister lived vicariously through this movie, 16 Candles, and Weird Science, during our summer vacations from school, so I grew to love them. I almost wish I was a bit older (almost) but as a teacher now, I can still relate to my high school students about the Big Three Rat Pack flicks of the 80s.
I recommend adding Revenge of the Nerds and having a "Dead Man's Party" to celebrate the 80s with these movies! The soundtracks are already on my iPod and they remind me of a time when movies about teens were still fun and were able to make light of social stigmas without anti-stereotyping groups blocking their release!
