Sixteen Candles

Pros: funny - brat pack style humor
Cons: a little silly at times

Just as "Pretty in Pink" is one of the worst brat pack films, "Sixteen Candles" is one of the best.
The film is about a teenage girl who yearns to tell the boy of her dreams her true feelings while trying to get through a...

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...

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: 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: 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: wildly funny
Cons: absolutely none

This movie is so entertaining and hilarious that I own it and have it memorized. I can't even count the number of times I have watched it. It is Samantha's (Molly Ringwald) 16th birthday and everyone in her family has forgotten about it because of the...

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: 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: 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: Brings You Back to the Teenage Years
Cons: Makes You Remember What Being Young Was Really Like

I've seen this movie so many times that I've lost count. Can't remember if I saw it at the theatre for the first time, or on video, but it is still one of my all time favorites.

Samantha is a girl in love with a great guy who doesn't know she...

Pros: Funny story you can relate to
Cons: sexual comments are included

I just love this movie it is funny and cute and a little strange at times, but still a great flick. I say it is my second favorite, Because my all time favorite is Breakfast Club! Yes, You can say I am a fan of most of John Hughes movies. I think...

Pros: Really funny, edge-of-seat enjoyment
Cons: Nothing

If Molly Ringwald stars in it, it must be worth watching. This is another one of my favorite movies. Everyone forgets Samantha's birthday. Her whole family seems to be too busy getting ready for her sister's wedding. Even though Samantha hints to...

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: it's way funny
Cons: none

This movie should be required viewing for every American. Adults can learn how "not" to treat their children. Teenagers can learn that they shouldn't judge each other. And recent immigrants can use it to help their English.

...

Pros: funny scenes, great actor, accurate depiction of teenage life
Cons: No Sixteen Candles II

If you were ever a teenager, it is impossible to tire of this movie.

Sixteen Candles, directed by John Hughes, and starring such talent as Anthony Michael Hall and Molly Ringwald, accurately depicts the average teenager's life: filled with the...
