1. The party scene in 16 Candles. The girl getting a chunk of her hair cut off. The drunken girls wearing fur coats. The Mad Magazine mania of the scene. Long Duk Dong on the exercise bike. HAHAHAHAHA Best. Party Scene. Ever.
2. Ferris Bueller – it may be an odd choice, but I love the scene between pre-nose-job Jennifer Grey and the hot-as-hell Charlie Sheen – when they randomly connect. Love that scene.
3. The Breakfast Club – Lord, how to choose. I love when they are all settled in their chairs at the beginning of the morning … before they have connected. The different shots of all of them, the behavior … it’s just classic.
4. Ferris Bueller – I must add the big parade. Where all the little frauleins in Danke Shen turn into raving go-go dancers in Twist and Shout. HILARIOUS.
5. The Breakfast Club – when they all get stoned.
Molly Ringwald’s perky breasts and Joan Cusack trying to get a drink of water from the fountain while encased in a metal brace in Sixteen Candles –
Have you heard the new song called 1985 about the uncool mother who is “stuck” in that year – one of the lines in the song is something about how the mother can quote all of the classics like Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club and St. Elmo’s Fire –
hahahahaha!! I haven’t heard that song, bets!
Yes, Joan Cusack with that shirt with the ballerina tutu on it trying to drink from the “bubbler” – classic!
I can’t really pick favorite moments from The Breakfast Club, either. I wind up stretching them to encompass the whole movie.
It is very difficult, Dave, I know.
I do love the kiss in the broom closet. Great little scene.
I finally heard that 1985 song for the first time, and it is absolutely hysterical.
Always had a soft spot for Ferris Bueller. Probably had something to do with.. ah.. “borrowing” a friend’s father’s Ferrari (say that five times fast) back in the day.
Good times.
Sixteen Candles.. Long Duc Dong discovered passed out on the lawn… ‘Automobile?’
I don’t need to quote the movies, you know the movie from the quote.
1. “Ooohh…no more yanky my wanky…the donger need food!”
2. “I don’t believe it. They fucking forgot my Birthday.”
3. “….six foot blonde walks into a bar…with a poodle under one arm…and a two pound salami under the other…(snickers, breathes nervously)…she lays the poodle on the table…bartender says, ‘I suppose you won’t be needing a drink?’…the lady says… (Drop ceiling tile breaks, John falls) OOOHHHH SHIIIIITTTT!!!!
4. “Y’know…I just realized how much you like me…”
“Well, you’re probably just…zoning in on my brainwaves, or something.”
“…actually, I just felt it on my leg.”
5. Farmer Ted is discovered trapped under the glass table. “Jaaaaaaaaake!”
6. “Blaine? His name is Blaine? That’s a Major Appliance, that’s not a name!”
7. “…and a Pink Trans-AM with a bow in the driveway with a guy in it?”
“…a black one…”
“…A BLACK GUY?!!”
“A Black TRANS AM, a Pink Guy…”
8. The fact that they could show full nudity of a woman’s breasts and body in a film rated PG.
9. “What are you complaining about? I gotta sleep under a guy named after a Duck’s Dork!”
10. “That is a severe behavioral disorder. THOSE ARE WOMEN”S UNDERPANTS! Y’know, next thing you know, you’re gonna be wearing a bra on your head.”
(Wyatt gives the camera a glance)
I could go on. I can’t because I have to leave. I’ve been here since 8….
what about the gong that was heard everytime someone said “Long Duk Dong”?
and what about the older sister’s wedding?? and the fact that she was high on muscle relaxants?
and my favorite part- when the grandmother asks long duk if he wants to go to the dance too….molly ringwold’s face was priceless.
i love 16 candles. thats my favorite john hughes movie.
My favorite shot in 16 Candles is Anthony Michael Hall under the glass table, screaming “Jake!”
