I seem to recall I watched Sixteen Candles when I was in my teens and had been invited to a sleepover at the house of one of the 'popular' girls. I have no idea why I was invited, and I was never invited back. I was quite relieved about that because we played some strange games. Like one where each girl in turn would stand up and the other girls would comment in writing (anonymously) on various aspects of their appearance. The comments were then read out. Who thinks up these things?

Pretty in Pink has a good soundtrack; I'm not sure I was that enamoured of the film. Sixteen Candles and Breakfast Club are still quite enjoyable, although I don't think I'm nostalgic about them. I'm not sure I ever made it through an entire watching of Weird Science.

I was trying to think of a film I am nostalgic about and the only one that comes to mind is Scanners. I was allowed to watch it when I was a child and I found it quite disturbing. Still gives me the warm fuzzies.

Ferris (as other people have mentioned) is in a class of its own and has stood the test of time. It's the only one of these Hughes films I've bought on DVD.
