Sixteen Candles

Pros: entertaining
Cons: cheesy plot

I don't remember why I saw this movie in the first place. Regardless, it quickly became a necessity at sleepover parties in grade school (regardless of the occasion). My friends and I watched it so many times that we could recite the lines as the movie...

Pros: identifiable plot, cast
Cons: none

After only seeing bits and pieces of this movie on TV, I finally went out and rented the full version. Seeing bits of it was magnetic, but the whole movie in its entirety was addictive. I completely identified with Sam, and although the movie was made...

Pros: Quite comical, a story people can relate to.
Cons: None.

I have always loved Sixteen Candles since I was young. I have always found the movie to be very funny and to have a story I could relate to. Everyone has been in a situation of infatuation with another person, everyone has been looked over at least...

Pros: The "We Knew Them When" factor;the soundtrack rocks;just about everything else!
Cons: Language, including racial slurs

Samantha Baker proclaims right away that she didn't expect to wake up on her "Sweet 16" and have everything absolutely perfect. But if that had actually been her WISH (to NOT have everything perfect), at least she would have gotten it! She awakens to a...

Pros: Classic eighties comedy
Cons: predictable ending

The very first John Hughes movie that I ever saw was Sixteen Candles. I loved every minute of it, from the very moment that Samantha is on the phone talking about her breast size, to Long Duk Dong and his American style girlfriend, to the Infamous Jake....

Pros: laughs, touch of romance
Cons: none

John Hughes strikes again with Sixteen Candles. This is one of the best movies to come from the Brat Pack era. Molly Ringwald plays Samantha, a girl who has her fair share of problems that plague teenagers. She finds out that turning sixteen isn't what...

Pros: This movie never gets old, no matter how many times I watch it.
Cons: None that I see.

This movie always takes me back to high school, possibly because it was originally released when I was in high school. I really enjoy this movie no matter how many times I've already watched it. It is corny and funny and totally John Hughes. We were...

Pros: The little Chinese guy
Cons: There could be a cuter Jake

I love this movie! I actually bought the VHS before I even saw it but let me tell you it was worth the money. The little Chinese guy is so freaking hilarious. If you enjoyed The Breakfast Club or Pretty in Pink, you'll enjoy this one. Even though the...

Pros: Long Duck Dong "You peed on my face!"
Cons: NONE

This is the perfect film for people who were teens in the 80's, 90's, or beyond. This film can't possibly go wrong when it's focus is on teen angst, which is the same for any teen in any decade.

Sam's birthday is not going very well. Her...

Pros: a classical, funny, romantic flick
Cons: nothing

This movie is quite a classic. It came out in the eighties, but I just seen it recently. I watched it about three times and I can't get enough of the story. It's about a girl who turned 16 and has a gloomy birthday because her family forgot about her...

Pros: funny , a must see eighties film .
Cons: language , drinking , sex .

This is one of those movies that I think just about every "Child of the '80's " has seen . And if they haven't then they sure should see it !

This is one of the era of the Brat Pack movies , an almost instant classic with Molly...

Pros: Funny and charming
Cons: Lots of bad language

Poor Samantha! Not only does she have a crush on a boy who she thinks doesn't know she exists, but she has to ride the BUS to school, her sister is marrying a sleazeball, a nerd is trying to get her attention, and her house is full of irritating...

Pros: great cast, boy do I love the 80's!
Cons: it's an oldie... gotta love them!

Molly Ringwald... who else? That is, who else could produce such a wonderful movie! Here is the classic story of the underclassman in love with the big man on campus. Only this time, rather than taking the sexy girlfriend way out, the big man on...

Pros: Everything!
Cons: That there aren't more movies like it!

This is a classic movie of my generation. Everyone I know has seen this movie and loves it, so if you haven't, hurry! Go rent a copy!

Molly Ringwald is Samantha Baker, a high school sophomore lusting after Jake Ryan, a hot senior dating...

Pros: Outrageously funny and very realistic
Cons: A little bit of bad language

Sixteen Candles is a classic teen-age angst movie, but it's not just for teenagers. Anyone around 13 and above would enjoy this movie. Adults would enjoy it very much, it will bring back old memories of high school. It's a classic story of a girl liking...
