A very necessary mention. This film came out when I was fourteen. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve seen it once it came onto cable back then. Enough to have memorized most of the dialogues by heart. I still know them.
This one was my favorite but at the time, I was also partial to Sixteen Candles. Who isn’t happy for the wallflower girl who gets the guy of her dreams? Watching the film back then, it was a way of vicariously living through her.
