I don't know - sometimes European/non-US people get add-ins we don't get here, so it all probably works out in the end. Except - I think everyone should get all the bonus stuff, without editing. But I'm a purist. :D
 
Wait...when was that?!

"You gave me a birth control pill?! Do you have any idea what that will do to a guy my age?!" :lmao:
 
Hah,I didn't know there was a thread for this movie. I love Sixteen Candles! I loved the scenes with 'the geek' lol. And Jake was hot... ;)
 
Hi everyone! :) I'm new to this thread because, being from the UK, 'Sixteen Candles' isn't really available - I had to order mine from amazon.co.uk, and it was a used copy...

Anyway, I saw this movie two days ago and it was fantastico!!! I don't usually like teen chick flicks, but because this is 80s, pre-90s saccharine, bugglegum chick-flicks, it has all that 80s liberalism and grit about it (or, I say liberalism in its broadest sense). I love the scene where Duck and that tall girl are on the exercise bike... one of the weirdest scenes ever. Also, the scene where sam screams and downstairs the olds are saying "I hate that rock and roll", "well, I'm afraid it's here to stay." :lol: I dunno why, it's just the kind of error that my grandparents would make, too.

I love the end scene...I even downloaded the Thompson Twins' song. Jake Ryan is, quite frankly, better looking than David Boreanaz...which is quite a feat.

:D Great film, I'm going to make my friends watch it if I can.

Btw, did anybody else know that on Valentines Day 2004, there was a huge sign saying "no boyfriend will ever compare to Jake Ryan", or something like that.

"The first way is easy and chatty, in the hyperactive sing-song you hear from people who appear on all those VH1 retro-documentaries about '80s pop culture. (Oh, those weird, wacky '80s trends! Remember??!!) Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar told Cosmopolitan magazine in 1998 that "John Hughes killed high school for me" and Jake Ryan ruined her on love (this was before she met Freddie Prinze Jr., who falls somewhat short of Jakeness). Same goes for Jennifer Love Hewitt, who in 2002 told Rolling Stone, "My whole life, I've been waiting for Jake Ryan . . . to come and get me." And Moon Unit Zappa -- the ur-Valley Girl -- told the Times of London in 2000 that she used to carry around a photo of Schoeffling in her wallet, and even now: "I'd watch ["Sixteen Candles"] with anyone, even a stranger off the street. And if they don't like it, they're no friend of mine."
 
I also love that part where Grandpa makes clapping noises to Dong to rouse him, as though he's come kind of animal and then grandma goes "Dong, grandpa is talking to you!" and he just laughs in her face. :lol:

"Why you little scuzbag! -"
 
Thank you for reviving it. :hug:

Omg, I loved that part too, he was hilarious! :lol:
 
:lol: i love when she gives the underwear to the geek, and her father goes "hunny, when you get married, make sure YOU wear the pants in the family..." then shes like :eek:!!

haha and the geeks have a gathering just for him to show off the underwear:lmao:
