:lol:

He was the ultimate crush. Every time I watch this, I understand why she'd be crushing on him so badly....he's so that typical dream guy. :sigh:
 
:lmao: Omg, the excercise bike, I know right, that had me in stitches! And then when she started lifting the weights and the one fell straight through the floor! :lmao:
 
Oh, ok, I just remember Long Duck Dong not wanting to open the door to Jake and Jake going "You grapped my nuts." or something like that. :lmao:
 
:lol: Yeah.

Jake was so cool and collected, though. If anybody said anything worth blushing about, it was probably Sam. :D And then she'd be like, "oh my God, how embarrassing." :lol: Teenagers!
 
ROCKSTAR
You know, I think Jake/Sam was a truer relationship than any of the others in his films. I don't know why, but I found it so much more convincing than Pretty in Pink or Some Kind of Wonderful, etc. I think it's because unlike the others there's a sweet innocence about it.

The others have somewhat of an edge about them, you know? Like, there's class orientation, rather than she's just not noticed (meaning, Sam's family isn't that poor or on the other side of the tracks - just bizarre!).

And how much do I seriously *HEART* Sam's dad?



Oh yeah - we saw it when it came out in the theater.

OT:
We saw/see/watch tons of films together - she's got great, adventurous taste in films, and we had a long-standing, 20+ year tradition of watching every single James Bond and Disney film that came out but that stopped about 7 or 8 years ago when my grandfather got sick.

Now we watch at least 3 movies/week on DVD, usually more. We're watching the 30s French version of Beauty and the Beast, The Big Sleep, The Machinist, and a documentary called, The Tibetan Book of the Dead. :D I love my gramma, even if we don't always share the same taste.

/OT

Anyway, this was one of the ones we just loved to pieces - my favorite John Hughes. Just genius.

Anthony Michael Hall loosening up before dancing! :lol:


Uch - can't stand that company. Mainly because 1) they STILL edit their films without notification and 2) they charge you if you keep your films for more than a month (despite the false advertisement of "no late fees.").

Have you tried NetFlix? Are you in the US? I know I sound like I'm a guru in the Cult of NetFlix, but really, they're just wonderful!
 
Oh, don't worry - I know they're popular on some of the other boards and I'm a member of a few of them, myself! :D
 
Yay, more people, so great to see you all here. :hug:

Omg, no one beats Long Duck Dong, lol. :lmao:

I loved that quote between him and Jake, Jake was hilarious too, not sure what to think.
 
Oh, totally. And they did avoid some awful cliches, it was such a cute thing, and so iconic. "Happy Birthday, Samantha" :sigh: You know that to her, that was the beginning and end of the world. :D

I was so excited for Sam when he appears in between the wedding crowd. And when she says to the dad, "this is the guy" or something and the dad gives her the thumbs up.

I guess the ending is the beginning, and like you said, it's up in our imaginations how everything happened after that.

Hm, now I'm wondering what happened after the kiss. Did they talk? Eat the cake? Sit around awkwardly? lol
 
:lol: Yeah. How could you not love Farmer Ted's dancing? :lol: He didn't actually have a name did he? Wasn't it Farmer Ted or Geek? Poor guy :lol:

I loved it how she watched him dance, started crying and ran away :)
