Another Hughes 80's teen flick I missed but really enjoyed having just watched it :) a really nice cast line up too, the beautiful Lea Thompson, Eric Stoltz, Craig Sheffer, John Ashton, Mary Stuart Masterson and a surprise role for Elias Koteas who I still think is a young De Nir...( read more)
This is the best of the eighties 'US High School/Teen Angst' movies. There were loads, but none to match this one. There's a character in here for each of you to associate with, be it the nerdy Keith, with the bossy younger sister and the unattainable crush, or Duncan, the kind-h...( read more)
The best of the "John Hughes" movies (Well, except for Ferris Bueller). Sure - Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candes, etc, are good, but this one just shines above the rest. Less slapsticky, more sincere, and endessly quotable. The characters are more real and identifiable. ...( read more)
its started good and then went waaaaay down hill, John Hughes you let me down big time
sorry: wrong film.my film starred melanie griffith and jeff daniels!!??!

My favourite movie ever, when I watch it I am right back in the greatest era ever, the eighties. Great love story, Eric Stolz plays great. I work at a school and when I play this movie for students who are all around 19 years old they always find it a great movie and girls must cry at the scene where Keith gives Amanda the pearl earrings and the endscene, so it's still a strong movie today. Best 80s movie.

I'm a fanatic of the 80's, whether in movies or in music, but this film has it all. The sound tracks are all great, you really Go Crazy in this film coz, full of aspirations in life. The ending was absolutely wonderful. Better find a copy of this film.
