Lloyd Dobler - Say Anything
John Bender - The Breakfast ClubRecognize these iconic moments from classic 8os films? Each and every one of them get a mention in the 2010 film
Easy A
, which itself is a funny, angsty teen film reminiscent of the John Hughes era. It shows that a film---even one centered on sex---doesn't need to resort to inane, raunchy humor to be hilarious.
Jake Ryan - Sixteen Candles
Ronald Miller - Can't Buy Me Love
"Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie ... but no, no, John Hughes did not direct my life."- Olive Penderghast in
Easy A So what's your favorite iconic 80s movie moment? Was it
Ferris Bueller singing Danke Schoen on that float? A
pantless Tom Cruise in
Risky Business? Or perhaps
a steel town girl on a Saturday night in
Flashdance? How about the big factory scene in
Officer and a Gentleman
? Ah, so many to choose from...
