Sixteen Candles
1984 · 93 min · Not rated · 7.1/10 on IMDb
comedy, romance
Teen angst abounds in this classic comedy written and directed by John Hughes. Samantha Baker's (Molly Ringwald) 16th birthday should be perfect and memorable. Unfortunately, her whole family is preoccupied with her sister's impending wedding and completely forgets Samantha's big day. To add insult to injury, the school geek (Anthony Michael Hall) won't stop hitting on her, she has to bring a foreign exchange student (Gedde Watanabe) with her to the school dance, her visiting grandparents have taken over her bedroom, and she's sure that the boy of her dreams (Michael Schoeffling) doesn't know that she exists.
Director: John Hughes, Actors: Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Justin Henry, Michael Schoeffling, Paul Dooley, Haviland Morris, Gedde Watanabe, Liane Curtis, Billie Bird, Edward Andrews
