80's were great for one thing:
Coming of age movies. Teen Mobies. Craptastic B-Grade horror films that I refuse to watch without a pillow in front of my face. Grade 11 English was great. We studied The Breakfast Club - which is probably my favourite 80's movie ever. Pretty In Pink, St Elmo's fire, Ferris Bueller's Day Off are god-awesome too. I have been wanting to see Sixteen Candles for about as long as I've heard of it. I find it weird that Molly Ringwald was cast in so many roles as the main actress. She's not that pretty and with red hair. I have red hair naturally and I'm not pro-ranga. I now understand where the nickname Ducky comes from. It's referenced in the first California Diaries book, and I was always like, "Dude, who is this Ducky guy?". I watched Pretty In Pink, and there is Ducky, pining for Molly Ringwald who in the end chose Andrew McCarthy. It's also weird to think that Ducky is now Charlie Sheen's brother in Two and A Half men....
