I’m so glad I was a teenager when these movies were made. Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Sixteen Candles. Thanks to John Hughes. You made high school fun.
Yeah, people like to rip and roar about it. Well he isn't doing the "I was a broke actor who needed a job" bit. He's had enough of a career where he can choose to join in and piss on the role or laugh at it. Same thing with the late great Pat Morita. He was never ashamed of Arnold and certainly not ashamed of Myagi.
Anthony Halls acting talent as a kid was out of this world! That scene with Jake Ryan after the party where Farmer Ted mimicked Frank Sinatra was classic. He even had the way Frank crosses his legs down pat. And a 15 year old kid making a perfect martini was right out of the 1980’s!
Even the actors from the 80’s are better people than the slop we have today?! Wow, love the 80’s... love seeing all these people doing good, great that one went back to live a normal life, great video! I wish I could give my young daughter a life I had growing up back then!! World today is messed up!
Sixteen Candles is on Netflix now, and I just watched it. I laughed at it harder tonight than I did when I was a teenager in the 80s. It is a hysterical movie.
This movie had a little bit for everyone: female fantasy, male fantasy, off the charts funny comedy, cool 80’s music. Happy ending. A classic that captures a time and place so many of us lived through.
I didn't mean to be a downer the 80s also had so many great times. The music, the cars, the growing up in a actual fun time. I had a 1969 Hurst Olds 442. It was a BEAST. I remember drag races, sitting at Root River Parkway, Whitnall Park and just jamming tunes with friends. Frisbee, fun, and NO CARES. Then the 90's hit FAST. Still good music but it was grow up time....lol.
What an era for film making, and certainly one of the best directors of all time. Fantastic Entertainers, every one of them. (And they didn't feel the need to Lecture me non-stop.)
@@standinsilence In Weird Science, he out witts Robert Downy Junior, and nobody has ever been able to do that on screen. I think he would be an amazing character in the Marvel Universe.
I remember him in a little known movie called, "The Grave". Which was actually a very smart, scary story to watch on TV. Gabrielle Anwar is in it and it's a very good movie. I remember thinking that, that was the first time I had seen him in year's. 😊😊😉😎👍🍷🍷🍷
Never In a million years would I have though ‘the geek’ from ‘Sixteen Candles’ would resemble Dolph Lundgren 37 years later. Michael will be a guest at Pensacon, a science fiction convention that comes to Pensacola, Florida every year, this coming May. I hope to meet him.
The 80s were awesome but they had a memory for me that hurts even now. I wish to God I could go back even to 82. November 12th to be exact. I know they say we cant "change" time BUT my Grandfather had a massive MI. A deadly heart attack and in my Grandma's fear and terror we were locked out. I so wanted to smash the windows, but I had just hit 15. He died alone on the floor holding our family picture. This RIPS me apart every time I think of time and changing things. Even if he still dies, I WANT to be there. I DON'T WANT HIM TO DIE ALONE.
In a situation like that, he went quickly and wouldn’t have known he was alone. Don’t keep torturing yourself with something you can’t ever change. Think of the great memories that you had with him.
Anthony Michael Hall could be the new Gary 7 from Star Trek. I have been saying this for years!! I 🖖 LLAP Much respect to late actor, Robert Lansing, the original Gary 7. 👏
Long duk dong was the best part of this classic movie! His lines are legendary! RIP fellow chi north sider John Hughes........you made some of the best movies ever!
I love Gedde Watanbe in movie very few have seen...Vamp. He was hilarious as a "spoiled-mega-rich-but-desperate-to-be-anyone's-friend" guy. Steals every scene he's in.
I also love him. I think he's one of the most underrated actors in history. He stole the show in Sixteen candles Vamp and also Gung Ho. Even though that movie had the great Michael Keaton and George Wendt. It's his lines we remember the most. The original Ken Jeong.
Long Duk Dong is the coolest character in the whole movie, and yet the PC police wouldn't allow it today. We may never again get teen comedies as good as Sixteen Candles.
AMH looks a lot like actor Patrick Fabian who plays Howard Hamiln (who owns the law firm Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill) in BETTER CALL SAUL. It's too bad we may be in the final season of BCS, because the writers could write in a part for AMH to come in as the rich maverick brother of Howard Hamlin who helps save the day for the troubled law firm. The two actors look a lot alike and could easily pass as brothers, with AMH being the older one.
The actor who played duc dong is more American then most Americans. He had a blast and quite honestly he was the funniest character . Because he was off the chain .It would have been a strait laced exchange student that the movie might not have made it.He gave the guys an excuse to see a chick flick. His parts were the ones that kept teen males cracking up and that's huge. Where's my car ? haha ha ha ha HA HA the big lake. CLASSIC!
