@@chrislassiter1894 IDK, I was high most of the time then and in all honesty, Our existential nuclear threat began when the Soviets exploded their first nuclear device in August 1949, and the threat has NEVER gone away. Today, there are far SCARIER people with the "bomb" than the Russians EVER were! LOL. As a side note and generational reference, Ally Sheedy and I are the same age (born literally 3 days apart! - thanks Google!). Fun fact, Although playing a High School student, she was 21 when the film came out. SCARIER to me is I just found out that "Lady Gaga" is YOUNGER than my daughter. (again, THANKS ,Google.) I need to stop looking at celeb birtdays.
Teenagers are always kinda "carefree" (fortunately!) even the worst of times. It's part of development, I guess. My kids were 14 & 15 on 9/11/2001, and yet they not only got through it, They actively talk about the fun times they had in their teen years, At the time, Me... a grown ass man was WAY more worried about terrorism than I was EVER worried about the "Rooskies" in the 70's and '80s!
@@jamesslick4790 as a Teenager ( 16 ) I would compare myself a bit to Peter Pan because I don't want to grow to old and have to worry, but I know for a fact that If I could be 11 again, I would because it's the best years of my life. Not worrying about nothing and now i'm almost doing everything so I think personally i'm looking for easier, funnier times or maybe it's just my brain that needs a break maybe I need a psychologist to help me think, that can help me express my feelings the way I want them to be expressed and not gonna lie that girl Ally Sheedy's so beautiful just for her pureness and the way she thinks is exceptional and to end for sure she is just so beautiful and mainly because of her eyes and smile that again brings pureness in our hearts
Can you imagine being 12 years old at the drive in seeing this for the first time? I've always had high standards for women after this. Ally Sheedy ruined me for all other women.
The real fun part is that he had a wife. Had tyhe movie been made today he would have a husband. Not everything gets better with time, Hollywood is one of them.
My celebrity crush on Ally Sheedy started when I saw her in WarGames during its initial theatrical run in the summer of 1983. I was 17 at the time. Two years later, The Breakfast Club just added fuel to the fire.
yup i agree. 80s actors quality was better than most modenr actors. not saying there r bad actors now but the acting quality before I think was better.
I know what you mean, when I saw this as a kid I thought there were loads of women just like her - how wrong and disappointed I was! Ironically her character in that movie is the 'standard' I still measure potential girlfriends by. God I miss the 80s.
Apparently the film crew was not in on the joke, because most of the laughter you hear is actually the crew cracking up when they heard the joke for the first time.
The actual funniest part in this scene is after the teacher hands her test back, she quietly says 'thank you', and he quietly says 'you're welcome'. Like she may be a dunce, but at least she's kind -- and he respects that.
I had a crush on a gal back in Highschool who was a dead ringer for Ally. She even had the same laugh! Doesn't the teacher look like an older version of Seth Rogen?
Now this girl was BEAUTIFUL in this film. No doubt about it. Lindsey Lohan at no point in her life was, is or ever will be as fine as Ally Sheedy in her prime. We had the best looking ladies in the 70s and 80s.
Why are you singling out Lindsay Lohan? That's kind of weird. Lindsay in "Mean Girls" was absolutely comparable looking in terms of natural beauty. Especially when you compare her in that movie to all the girls nowadays with their gigantic fake squared off eyebrows, lip injections and Instagram clown makeup. Any girl would be lucky to look as good as Lindsay did back in the day. Just sayin'. Plus she had so much natural charisma and talent.
She was one of the first actresses in the 1980's to make me have "impure thoughts" involving, well you know-when you need to change your underwear for a dry pair.
@kianttila A lot of teachers don't. Not that kind of thing, especially back then; it was considered disrespectful. Nowadays there's a lot less they could do about that because of all the rules they didn't once have. I used to have a teacher though that always was my fave; he made jokes about farting all the time. LOL
Now there seems to be a lot of confusion on this next question: asexual reproduction. Could someone tell me please who first suggested the idea of reproduction without sex ?
I like the backstory on this movie. The crew was not in on the joke so Matthew Broderick said 'your wife' you could hear people on the crew laughing along! I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, but the music was absolutely ass
Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fq9FZ8e6d1QA.html Better than 105 Nuclear Power Plants in USA alone . Power disruptions from a revolution is a BAD scenario.
