9. Me too!
They came together. Even my 18 year old son loves those movies. PIP was okay but not as good as those two.

21. Funny Andrew McCarthey story...My brother was working on the
movie (B movie, but good) "Night of the Running Man" with Andrew McCarthey. Andrew called to speak with the director as he had been requested to do. My brother had to stall for time because the director was busy. What did he come up with? "My sister had the Biggest crush on you in high school!!!"

I DID NOT! I only went and saw the movie in the theater 7 times. A big crush would be at least 12...don't you think?

:) He's a really nice guy by the way. So says my brother.

3. I HAVE the OLD ONE! which is threadbare from watching! Was surprised
anyone still cares about that movie, though...given the cynicism of America and teens? :shrug:

5. WOW! i grew up with that movie
i tried and tried to find a score that included that really emotionally wrought interlude sing when Steph is walking past Andy's car after Blain dumped her and she is just staring daggers at him.

8. Those bratpack movies are timeless.
They need to release a box set with Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, and Sixteen Candles.

I like it... Could you give more background? How did you get copyright from the movie to do clips from it?

28. I know, it was really a disappointment, that dress, but hey she was
very determined to "be herself" which was the point of the movie, so I guess it really "WAS" different. After the big buildup, though I would have thought it would be Spectacular!

Loved her "older friend" who was a hoot. Annie "something" the actress. Can't think of her last name who played that part. She had a TV series..I wish she had done more movies..
