FlickeringMyth:
In the mid 80's, there was no one in movies who could make a better teen film than John Hughes. In his three films with Molly Ringwald (Hughes didn't direct Pretty in Pink – Howard Deutsch did - but Hughes wrote it and had a large degree of input into the film), Hughes explored in honest and realistic terms what it meant to be a teenager and, in Molly Ringwald, he found a versatile actress perfect for the centrepiece female roles of his mid 80's films.
Angourie Rice, Gaten Matarazzo, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse elevate this ‘80s-infused coming-of-age dramedy.
We take a look back at John Hughes' 1984 classic Sixteen Candles, which made a star out of Molly RIngwald and kicked off a genre.
We examine the work of one of the most iconic writer-directors of all time in the first episode of John Hughes Revisited: Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
